Daisy & Charlie

Daisy & Charlie is a chic boutique in a location that’s not entirely fitting. It’s a little off the beaten track in Claremont — not sitting in a row with all the other boutiques and shops on Bayview Terrace, but essentially in a parking lot off Gugeri Street.
Despite it’s not-​so-​nice location, this dainty little shop has a very nice interior. The prices are at the higher end of the scale, as the shop stocks a lot of designer brands. My favourite things are the Lulu Guinness range of lip shaped bags, and the gorgeous French Sole pumps. They clothes aren’t completely up my alley though — a bit too girly-​wirly, not much edge.

Daisy & Charlie is a perfectly good women’s clothing store. Although it’s not all to my taste there are some decent labels in stock (Lulu Guiness, Issa, French Sole) but I don’t particularly enjoy shopping in there and here’s why. 1) It stinks. It has this smell — not a bad smell exactly — but it’s so STRONG. It’s sickly sweet and kind of reminds me of fruit tea gone wrong, and it’s just so pungent and cloying that I can’t stand to be in there for too long. 2) The woman who works there won’t leave you alone. Kudos to her for being an attentive shop assistant, and I’m sure she means well, but I prefer to be left alone while I shop rather than have someone run up to me and comment on every single thing I touch. That said, I found some pretty funky t-​shirts in here the other day — they are by a Spanish label (Custo) and they are really cool, as the shop assistant was quick to inform me.
