My Monkey’s Uncle has been a trusty place to get a new outfit before a night out for years now. I often found that when I was down on my shopping luck everywhere else, My Monkey’s Uncle would supply the goods. They have some labels that you can buy in Myer or David Jones, but also some less seen high street brands and local designers. The prices are very reasonable and they change their stock often so you won’t get bored of never finding anything new. In the past couple of months, My Monkey’s Uncle has lost a wall so it now adjoins Princess Polly next door. This works well because they have always been very similar shops and now they’ve almost combined into a larger entity of similar style. Like all stores, you won’t find something in here every time, but you will most times and it’ll usually be an instant favourite at a very good price.

Previously a store on its own, My Money’s Uncle still maintains its famous shop space along Adelaide Street, but now also shares with Princess Polly. The two occupy the same spaces they normally have, now with the benefit of an open pathway between each. They have literally taken away the wall between the two stores so you can now amble between the two at will. It seems fitting to me, because they both harbour such gorgeous fashions and when I couldn’t find something I liked in one, I’d just pop straight over to the other just next door. My Monkey’s uncle has really fine and feminine pieces from tulle and cut-out dresses through to bodysuits and some serious bling. There’s an option for almost any occasion whether you need a going-out dress or some short shorts for a festival. The clothes at My Monkey’s Uncle are always very sweet and fairly priced, with the staple expensive pieces you love to try on but never really think about buying. Make it a regular stop on your shopping days and you won’t be sorry. My Monkey’s Uncle has what every girl loves in a clothes store: promise, whimsy, and a whole lot of lace and tulle.
