is a foreign place, way out there in the north of Auckland. I liked it, a nice change from Sylvia Park's familiarity. It made me realise, though, wandering around for a while, that there is very little out in the world worth buying (in my eyes) as I trawled listlessly through the clothing racks finding nothing desirable. Why is chain-store fashion so generic and tacky? All the ambitious, avant-garde designer ideas paraded on the catwalk are ridiculous when brought down to the average consumer level. Current trends seem to include fake lace, netting, two-tone floral leotard-type dresses, "body-con" stretch fabric, various types of patterned and textured leggings, faux fur, truckloads of leather jackets, shapeless woollen jerseys mimicking the kinds of things you find in so-called op-shops on K Rd for the same price, and still the insufferable high-waisted denim shorts that have haunted society since summer 2008. What is going on?

chain stores follow the trends to give customers what they want. Supply and demand.... it's nothing new.
Yes. That wasn't my point... But okay.
Oh I know, it's terrible at the moment. Glad I'm not spending money on clothes at the moment!
Everything is so damn miserable :( Feel like a freak walking around with just a bit of colour
your family is obsessed with Sylvia Park!! =P
We're not obsessed with it, we go to it often because it's our local mall/supermarket etc. It would be silly if we went to st. Luke's!
