BLOG: 5 tips for shopping at the market like a pro

Whether you’re a collector of vintage clothing or a lover of labels, sometimes walking into the market and knowing where to start can be overwhelming (after you’ve got a coffee anyway!). We’ve talked to some of our expert shoppers to get feedback on their strategies and come up with our top 5 tips on how to get the most out of shopping at Round She Goes Market!

vintage-market-sydney-03

  1. Allow yourself plenty of time: The market opens at 10am. Arriving at open certainly means you’ll have more choice but later on in the day, stallholders might be more interested in negotiating (doors close at 3pm). You can get a pass out from the desk and return as many times as you like or it’s not unusual for people to stay all day!

 

  1. What to wear: Change rooms are provided but you can make trying things on easier by wearing stuff you can take off in a jiffy. That might be a dress and slip-on shoes or jean and a top.

 

  1. Bring cash: Some of the sellers do accept cards, but others will be cash only.

 

  1. Have a method: The hall is laid out in aisles so you can tackle them one by one. One of our expert shoppers said her technique is to do a walk around and look for stallholders who are dressed in a style you like. Tackle their stalls first as you’re more likely to find things that suit and will fit.

 

  1. Bring your girlfriends – shopping is way more fun in packs! There is a cafe and workshops so it’s easy to make a day of it.vintage clothing market adelaide

end of year wrap and thanks

newsletterxmas

Oh my. It’s been a massive year at Round She Goes.

This year I enacted my ambitious plan to launch an online marketplace so stallholders and shoppers can keep buying and selling even after the market doors have closed. We’ve now got over 80 online shops and hundreds of you have snapped up handmade and preloved stuff using the site.

We had a brilliant time during Melbourne Spring Fashion Week where we took over the Drill Hall in the Melbourne CBD to showcase our online sellers. We gave away thousands of free coffees, met people from all over Melbourne, from interstate and overseas. We also hosted workshops with the brilliant Cheryl Lin of Fashion Chic, Chelsea from Trophy Wife Nail Art and Magdalena from Unleash Creative.

And if that all wasn’t enough, Richard Branson blogged about me (and Round She Goes). Things felt (quite literally!) a little out of this world at that point.

I’m so grateful to our supportive stallholders who have believed in me this year and my vision for Round She Goes as a local online platform and a fun event for selling preloved women’s fashion.

I’m super grateful to for my supportive family – many of you know my partner Lee who makes the coffee (and takes care of the music which I know many of you love!), and to my parents who trek over from Adelaide to attend my Melbourne markets. And a big thanks too to Lee’s mum Maria in Sydney who is always on hand to help out and is excellent at showing shoppers how to track down those bargain and give fashion advice!

We’re firmly established in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide now and in 2015 we’ll look into adding more locations to the mix.

Thanks so much to you our shoppers for coming to the markets, shopping online with us and for being so supportive.

I hope you can now relax and enjoy the festive season and we’ll see you for many more markets and exciting stuff in 2015.

Win tickets to Fashion Icons at the Art Gallery of SA

I am beyond excited to be visiting Adelaide while the Fashion Icons exhibition is showing. This exhibition is exclusively showing at the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Fashion Icons - Christian Lacroix

Fashion Icons paints a unique picture of Parisian style within the context of contemporary fashion design since 1947 when the couturier Christian Dior re-launched haute couture with his New Look. From that time fashion design blossomed with the lavish splendour of the 1950s, the futurist dynamism of the 1960s, the inspired emancipation of the 1970s, the unbridled excess of the 1980s, and the pure minimalism of the 1990s, all inspiring today’s composite portrait of the 21st century.

Over 90 emblematic haute couture garments created by the world’s leading fashion designers will be drawn from the most comprehensive collection of French fashion in the world, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and curated by the museum’s 20th and 21st Centuries Fashion and Textile Collection Chief Curator, Pamela Golbin.

Win a copy of Dress, Memory

Dress, Memory is a charming coming-of-age memoir in which every dress tells a story.

IMG_5830

As we grow older, how do we know what to let go of and what to keep?

Lorelei started collecting dresses in her twenties and found that every time she wore one it became more significant to her. From falling in love for the first time to playing in a band, from starting a career to moving overseas, every dress soon had a memory stitched into it, and she became as attached to each one as if they were the events and people themselves.

But what happens when the wardrobe gets full? Should you let go of the dresses you’ve outgrown, or try to hold on to them forever?

Dress, Memory is about a decade in dresses. Perceptive and poignant, humorous and heartwarming, it’s the story of growing up and growing into yourself. It’s about trying things on until you find the perfect fit.

We have three copies to giveaway! Sign up to our newsletter to hear how to win!
