A girl after my own heart I'm going to Ireland in August and can't wait to get to Penneys (Primark) Their quality had improved so much in the couple of years before I left and I'll get there for the end of summer sales and then the autumn stuff will be in too

I buy quite a lot of clothes - well I did before the interest rate went up and because I work in a corporate environment I've got to look smart. I don't have any problems getting what I want. Have a look at this site www.ezibuy.co.nz It's fairly representative of what's available here.

Hi, I was a shopaholic in the UK but moving to NZ changes you. Not every thing in life is about what your wearing. I would advise you to bring as many clothes with you from the UK but, fashion is different here and some clothes I wore in the UK havnt seen the light of day since I arrived 8 months ago. I still miss clothes shops in the UK but, most the time I live in T shirts and shorts now. You have to look around but, you can get most things locally.

Can't hurt to look sharp as. My dh bought an expensive jacket, trousers and shirt for an interview here last year because we really wanted him to get it so went to a tailor in Napier and got his advice. He said it would never hurt to look sharper than the next guy. He got the job, which was a real chancing his arm position

We shop in Recycle-Mart. Bought the kids all quality name brands and came out with a big bag of new clothes for them plus quality linen-cotton shirts for husband for $43. They've got some really good stuff and certainly for kids it's wonderful.

PS I'd rather buy quality brands from Recycle-Mart than warehouse shite that doesn't last and cost twice the price.

Thank god for Esprit, not somewhere I really shopped in back home, but decent quality stuff on the NZ highstreet, and they always seem to have some stuff on sale

Sheesh, i did a double take with that for a second. I forgot that Esprit now has mens clothes....

Womens clothing: Witchery in Smith and Caugheys in Auckland, and Kirkdales in Welly. Also can order online www.witchery.com.au.

Country Road is good for men, women and children too. More pricey, but found have lasted really well. Also, they sell good business attire. Have found in Auckland, people can dress up more for work and going out than they do in London!!!

Cue has some nice womens clothes as well.

still won't be wearing any of their stuff though
