Right now, life in the boutique business isn't so easy. This is a shame, since the sales assistants, buyers and owners of indie boutiques are some of the most stylish people we've ever met. To encourage you to go out and support your local stores when you do your summer and christmas shopping this season, we've decided to shine a light on some of the covetable clothes that are sitting right on the shop floors of our favourite boutiques, as styled and modeled by the people who work there.

This week we're looking at the babes of Bondi institution Tuchuzy. These girls have been keeping one of Sydney's most fashion forward suburbs in super trendy casual-wear and party frocks for years now, and offer an extremely comprehensive range of local and international labels.

Abbey

Abbey wears: jeans by Current-Elliott, singlet by Rittenhouse, shoes by Ellery, ring and necklace by MANIAMANIA

"I love jeans in general and just fell in love with these ones instantly. The cut is impeccable! Everyone needs a little leopard in their life and when you mix a good cut and fabric, its magic. The Rittenhouse top is easy, relaxed and a great balance for the jean. The colour is a bit unexpected and will fit into next season's burgundy focus too. MANIAMANIA is my favourite jewellery label at the moment. They have such a distinct style and it just fits in with the lifestyle in Bondi so perfectly. I always get comments on my pieces - they are so eye-catching!"
