Recently, we spent a beautiful, sunny day shopping up and down Woollahra's Queen Street. After grabbing a coffee at Luxe cafe (so delicious) we visited local boutiques and found incredible selections of contemporary, luxury and weekend fashions, as well as an amazing array of homewares. The neighbourhood atmosphere was relaxing, making for a leisurely experience throughout the day — so, definitely a great location to stroll through over brunch with girlfriends. Below, we've recapped the best shopping destinations in this Best Boutiques In Woollahra.

POND

Pond boutique began as an amazing homeware store, Pond Home, which is known for their eclectic and charming arrangement of pieces sourced from around the globe. The owner, Liz, was featuring a clothing rack within Pond Home, but when the ready-to-wear began continuously selling out, she decided it was time to open a fashion boutique. Pond, an intimate, sleek storefront located in the heart of Queens Street, immediately strikes you with a calm, alluring colour palette that constantly ranges in neutral tones from blacks to tans to whites. Right now, the super nice boutique associates let us know that textured, geometrically friendly pieces by the likes of IRO and Les Prairies de Paris fly off the racks (trend alert!). When selecting her merchandise, Liz has a keen eye for high quality standards, and she knows her shoppers well… A Pond wearer is fashion forward, with good style and a taste for sophistication.
