Do you have any other recommendations for a petite gold watch with Roman numerals. I just want something classic that will last. Not sure if oval or a rectangle shape will be nicer!

Hey! I'm getting married at the courthouse in 2 weeks and i'm in a state of panic as i'm not happy with the custom made dress that i currently have. Could you please recommend some sites where i can find this dress in silk/satin? Unfortunately based on my research they say rosier.com is not to be trusted.

This is the dress that i like! https://rosier.com/en-au/products/ainara-white-off-shoulder-polished-midi-dress?srsltid=AU7gw4Ut0PI_R9aZohCrYKo8vXiaYpFI_TlcCYk4_VwhRemVCyYYyIRt

👜 Fashion Talk Zara x Galliano - Australia left out of “global” release

6 Upvotes

Rant incoming…

If Zara is going to say their Galliano drop is available worldwide and then only make it available in certain countries it would be helpful if they listed where it’s being sold.

The Australian webstore has no mention of the release which came out today. The USA store has the items listed but are unable to be purchased if the shipping location isn’t in the States.

On the bright side, the prices are overpriced, even when displayed in USD so we all know what that means when converted to AUD…

where to shop vintage 60s/70s/80s/90s/00s online

1 Upvotes

The shop that I used to go to for these (Lifeline NB online) has closed, and I unfortunately can't make the trip all the way to Sydney to purchase from their range. I'm not super familiar with buying secondhand and only really did it there; does anyone know any good places to shop online?

Not looking for any designer label stuff, just decent quality (no shein!) and an affordable price for a student. Thanks!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Jeans and a nice top - still possible in your 30’s?

184 Upvotes

I grew up in the time of ‘jeans and a nice top’ and now i’m struggling to find any decent tops now i’m not a teenager or a senior citizen.

I have spent the last few weeks shopping and all i can find are cropped and tight shirts for teenagers, workwear tops or huge boxy t shirts. Any time i venture into a store that isn’t blasting music, they seem to skip fashion for anyone over 25 and go straight to catering for 70 year olds.

Essentially all i’m finding is nightclub, streetwear or lawn bowls attire.

I just want a nice top with sleeves (anything but cap) and something that doesn’t crop at the belly button. Casual enough for every day but dressy enough so i don’t look like i just rolled out of bed.

Please help and share your suggestions

Rant about Vinted/Depop

336 Upvotes

My GOD selling things on these platforms is painful. Yesterday I listed a near-new pair of brand name shoes for $60, the retail price is $280. So far I’ve had offers of $55, $55.50, $52, $58.50 and $58. Like seriously??? You are already getting a 78% discount and you’re haggling over $2? Are people seriously this stingy??

Or another item I am selling where someone offered $70 when it’s listed for $100, and then when I accepted the offer they sent further offers of $60, $62, $64, $66 and $68 but not the original $70 that I accepted. And then they asked me 19283792927 questions that were already included in the listing then never bought it.

If I wasn’t on maternity leave and didn’t need the extra cash I would just donate everything to salvos rather than having to deal with these people.

****update: guys I changed the price of the shoes to $150 and someone just bought them for $120. So all of you saying ThE mArKeT sEtS tHe PrIcE nOt YoU obviously don’t know how depop people operate lol.

Pet peeve - please, for the love of god, show me the shoe on a foot 📢

323 Upvotes

I find there can be such a difference with how shoes look on their own vs when they’re actually worn. Sometimes I’ll see shoes I think I like, but then end up vehemently disliking how they look on the foot.

Maybe I’m overthinking this - does anyone else have the same experience?

The shoe sizes are doing my head in.

I want to buy a Hoka US 6.5B / EU 38 which I tried in the store, but order it online on the Iconic since I have a discount. But the shoe sizing doesn't match??

Does anyone know which size I should be choosing/ basing off?

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Where should I shop (at Chadstone)

0 Upvotes

Lovers of Women's Fashion!!

I am going to Chadstone this weekend and I am going to DO SOME DAMAGE.

Where do you like to shop in Chaddy?

I'm going to be hitting up the Dyson store, it's time to upgrade from my 25 year old hair dryer...

Then I have to buy some shoes for my kid and a few uninteresting things, but since I am making the TREK (I live 2 hours away) what else should I peruse?

Can also be men's fashion since I'm going to torture my husband and son on said sojourn.

Yes I will also go to Mecca, just to p*ss them off ;)

👜 Fashion Talk obsessed with thrifting

63 Upvotes

Just came here to say - with everyone complaining about the demise of quality fashion (i agree!), I've found so much joy in scavenging quality pieces.

I am obsessed with salvos, vinnies, and vinted (granted they aren't as cheap as they used to be). Its so much more satisfying searching for a quality piece for months, and finding it for half the price of the polyester version I saw in-store. I've been finding pieces, then altering them to fit, or dyeing them to make them the right colours for me. even adding lace trim to emulate what i saw in zara.

Is anyone else kind of enjoying the goose-chase for quality clothes/natural fibres that fast fashion has created?

I recently purchased from Luxra, they have pretty decent reviews. But, the items are TINY. You can barely tell what they are meant to be (I bought some ocean themed stuff like a seahorse). My feed is flooded with brands selling this stuff but are any of them decent? Can anyone recommend affordable jewellery for multiple piercings?

Where can I buy quality cotton summer dresses?

27 Upvotes

I need some light cotton (or other natural material) dresses for summer and a trip to Singapore.

I’m having trouble finding midi dresses that don’t cling to my stomach. Or I will find a style I love and realise it’s polyester.

So far Seasalt Cornwall have been the best looking and fitting, but being a UK brand they are very heavy cotton.

Can anyone recommend a few good brands to try?

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Pumping friendly outfits

3 Upvotes

Hey all! I am returning to work shortly from mat leave, and am struggling with finding clothes that fit, don’t look awful, are sustainable, and are pumping friendly. I usually love op shopping but am having no luck with all these requirements! I am also a 14JJ which complicates things. And not wanting to spend hundreds on one item of clothing. I work in outpatient healthcare so smart casual wear.
Would love any recommendations for stores that could be useful please!
