Monday to Sunday edge: Lifestyles

With life returning to normal (albeit a new normal), the urge to get away for time out and retail therapy adventures is hard to ignore.

Hanmer Springs never fails to please. It is a shopper’s paradise – the place to source that something special.

Lifestyles is one such store. Its quality casualwear takes urban chic to a whole new level. This apparel is zingy and fresh; it’s savvy streetwise with classy attitude.

Being a dual merchandise boutique means that not only does Mum get to take home a sexy pair of jeans, but Dad gets to take home a pretty cool pair as well.

Labels such as Levi, Billabong, All About Eve, Superdry and T&C give an idea of how there’s something here for everyone, including hard-to-please teens and fashion-conscious tweens.

Add in a wide swimwear range, from children to adults, casual shoe brands, such as Woden, Kustom and Holsters, plus everything from backpacks to beanies and you get why paradise starts here.

Owner Alice Stielow confides the latest footwear trend instore – crocs. “Yes, they’ll be back for summer, but much edgier than before. Everyone will want a pair.”
Lifestyles, Alpine Pacific Centre, Hanmer Springs.
