I'm going to Melbourne in the holidays and need help with what to do/stay?

Use http://www.wotif.com/ to locate your accommodation.

Parts of Chapel Street have both the kooky slightly off the wall clothing boutiques, as well as the run of the mill chain stores and typical malls.

I would say Chapel Street Windsor would have the more kooky slightly off the wall clothing boutiques, then Chapel Street South Yarra, so start there.
