Brunswick Street is a colourful mix of boutique stores, young up-coming designers, unique jewellery and recycled fashion. It can be a bit hit and miss, but it’s a great place to find one-of-kind pieces. Many of the cafes serve breakfast all day, so it doesn’t matter what time you start your expedition.
Scanalan and Theodore, Sass & Bide, Alice McCall, Shakuhachi; designer hub www.chapelstreet.com.au houses them all. Cross over to Toorak Road to find handmade designs, quirky accessories and delicious leather goods.
Shoes, frocks, clutch purses; it’s all under one roof at Chadstone Shopping Centre; 530 stores to browse, all bustling with spring offers. Try David Jones for on-trend fascinators and hats. You also go in a draw to win a trip to New Yorkif you spend more than $350 at selected stores till the end of October.
If your Melbourne Cup budget has no cap, try Collins Street for top end designers like Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. If you find the designs in your head are much more in vogue, why not pop into Adriano Carbone to collaborate on an outfit or perhaps take his advice on a tailor-made suit.

Shoez, OMG Shoez. If it’s shoes you want then Zomp on Little Collins Street is for you. Roberto Del Carlo has squealishly cute wedges, sensible attire for the grassy race venue.
