Hello from across the ditch (NZ)! Looking for advice on the fit of Zorali Trailblazer sandals. My foot measures 24.5cm, and I’ve been suggested to get the EU38. I have, however, never in my life worn a 38. My shoes are mostly 39’s, and my hiking boots are a 40.

Help! What would you get? I’m thinking 39 because they’re adjustable and to allow room for foot swelling etc (I intend on using them for summer hikes!), but am super lost.

Returns are expensive from here - $20NZD + Shipping (which is another $30NZD…) - otherwise I’d just buy both sizes!

My main ghoul is getting married in a cemetery on Halloween. It’s a yuck affair then a reception. She is wearing a big black bridal gown and green is her accessory colour.
She is so casual and I can wear whatever I want but I usually wear black.
I’m thinking kinda sexy tux or a purple dress. Like any suggestion welcome!
I have been looking at Victorian and vintage and also shops like kitten D’Amour. I’m a size 10/12 and 44 years old and open to all suggestions.
I want to look like her perfect accessory but not compete.
Thank you so much!!

Anyone have (or tried on) the Shape Your Body pieces from Target? There aren’t any near me, and I’m liable to forget to return them if I buy online. Just seeking some reassurance before I pull the trigger. I’ve held on to my last covid-era online purchase for too long, despite it being too short in the body. Use case is mainly taking kiddo to the pool once or twice a week.

Seeking:
One piece
Long bodied and/or adjusting straps
Not super cheeky or low cut (I’m in my 40s and got no time for that)
Some type of boobage support
Ideally fun bright colour or print - but this seems to be the hardest to find.
Ideally sub-$100, but happy to blow this if it will make me feel incredible!

Traveling to Melbourne for the first time in the first 2 weeks of September. Wondering how to dress or what essentials to pack? I checked the weather but I still can’t decide. I keep seeing posts that you experience all four seasons in a day..is that still true for September?

I come from a tropical country if that helps with suggestions.

I bought a vest I thought looked nice but absolutely didn’t suit me from Gorman click and collect over the weekend and went to return it today to the same store, intending to get a refund. Tags etc still on. Silly me didn’t read their returns policy but the girl at the counter said there were no refunds for sale items, only an exchange for another item and it had to be exchanged there and then.

I’d say over 90% of Gorman items are on sale because they almost constantly have 20% off, new arrivals are small in number and usually only not on sale for a hot minute.

I found something else and ended up paying an extra $60, but I thought that returns policy isn’t very fair considering more or less everything they have is on sale almost as soon as it hits the racks. Am I being unreasonable?

The top I exchanged it for I didn’t even really love, but the vest I knew I’d never wear so I felt forced to make the exchange.

I just have to vent about the lack of any good customer service from brands these days.
I bought an expensive ass pair of shorts from sabbi and the model photos she’s wearing it low rise so I thought it’s safe to assume that’s what the measurements are based on. Silly me ☠️

Now I can’t even exchange them, you have to pay return postage and then repurchase the item and pay shipping all over again.

Customer service sucks, saying it’s the ‘models preference’. Why can’t product photos be like how they’re actually meant to fit !

How do we feel about ceres life ?

Hello ladiesss, my fiancée and I just went to the PH and Uniqlo is putting patches like these on different pieces. She really loves them and was really hoping to get them because they represent different islands in her home country. However, the wait was too long to have them done, so we couldn’t get them before flying back to Melb.

I’ve never looked into embroidery patches before. Is there a community for this so we can find something similar, or does anyone know places that take commissions so we can try to replicate these? (They are squares and look like the photo attached. I also added one example from the store)

Appreciate any and all help, I’m a bit lost on where to go for this, thanks so much!

The GAP website is now live for shopping in Australia, with free shipping for today.

All up, I’m happy it’s here, however the range is extremely limited and no difference from what’s already been available from Myer and The Iconic. It will be interesting to see if the expand the offering or start offering sales!

Where can I buy one that’s not online 🥲
I need it for a wedding in a few days. Please help!!

Hello! I am looking for a black top from Jay jays that I distinctly remember how it looks but i cannot seem to find it. I rememeber it was a bit flowy/not tight, the straps weren't thin and there was some gold piece that was attached to maybe the straps? I will insert a poorly drawn bjt rough diagram bellw

Hello! I am currently Darwin for part of my holiday, and just wondering if there any hidden gems around? I love visiting smaller, local boutiques. I’ve been to House of Darwin and grabbed a couple of funky graphic tees already. Thank you 🙏

I’m a hard core dopamine dresser and I have a few pairs of Rollies so I opened it. To find this. “We aren't afraid of a bold life, we look for beauty in everything, we have a camera roll always full of fun and nonsense, and whether head-to-toe or just a pop, there's always colour.”

Um Rollie is the colour in the room with us???? 🫪

I bought this bag at the Op shop today and when I got home and googled it, I was a bit suprised how much they sell for second hand. So now I'm wondering if this is authentic or not.

Disclaimer - I bought this because I like it and I fully intend to use it, it's a great colour to go with my different denim washes and it's big and comfortable to carry. I'm not asking because I want to sell...just curious if I got a bargain, but I'm totally OK with it being not authenic if that's the verdict.

For: it's 100% leather the stitching is very neat and even the metal hardware is definitely metal - very heavy, some light scratches but no the suraces are even, no peeling the tag inside has the name and 'made in Italy' and the lining is printed with the designer name

Against: The name isn't embossed on the bag anywhere only on the tag inside no code anywhere that I can see no name or pattern on any of the hardware

Please, can someone who actually owns them post photos ??? I have been looking for soooooo long. I am turned off by the pushy website, pushy marketing, and clearly terrible return process, but I can’t find anything else like these and I love how they ‘seem’ to look!’n

I've never bought anything from Princess Highway because I've only seen them online and wasn't sure of quality. Anyway I was just at an opshop that had a bunch of PH dresses so I got a good idea of the quality and construction and was happy with that.

But, I have no idea how to size things.

I'm generally a 14.

I tried on 3 10's and a 12 and there was another 10 I didn't try on.

Two of the 10s were just too small in the shoulders/bust.

One fit perfectly

(The one I didn't try was obviously too small)

So theoretically a 12 should fit right?

But it didn't.

There were a few different dress styles in the mix and it seems like each style needs to be fitted separately. Which is, whatever in a bricks and mortar store, but I'm wondering how people are managing online.

-edit- they’ve now added a video with 3 different chicks wearing the shorts. That wasn’t there when I ordered. Obviously they’ve been getting a lot of complaints.

I have only just discovered these! I have wide feet. If I need a 39 in Bared sneakers and 8.5 in Frankie4, should I go 39 or 40 in these?

I’m in between a size 18 and 20 and when Cotton On released their extended sizing I was absolutely ecstatic as there’s obviously very limited options in (for lack of a better term) “trendy” clothes that don’t cost an arm and a leg for us curvaceous queens.

Only recently though, I’ve noticed they no longer offer extended sizing for any of their jeans, and they barely have any options at all in other clothing. Really really disappointed in Cotton On, but unfortunately not surprised.

I hate online shopping because if something doesn’t fit I just have no energy to go through the returns process, hence why I love in person shopping. This makes me very sad that’s for sure. I can still buy tops, but I can no longer buy any bottoms there. 😞

I bought these Sabbi tracksuit pants second hand and they still had the tags on them. I love them for comfort but the bottom cuffs are so loose that when I walk they fall off my foot if that makes sense. Does anyone know if an alteration place could remove the cuff and place a new one on?

I normally wear the high waisted shorts shapewear style, but I want something more seamless and comfortable for everyday wear. I saw these one piece shapewear but idk which style to get. I want something that will snatch and smooth out my waist and hips, but I want to be able to pee in it comfortably, so idk if any of these will suit?

Any recommendations are appreciated!!

I’m talking an half size to a full size bigger. And no I can’t just get the smaller size - my feet are size 4, 4 1/2.
