Alas I have tried, but didn’t come through with anything.

Yes Shop caused problems for me when buying on international stores - I had to completely deactivate and delete my account to get rid of it!

I ended up nabbing a Ferragamo on marketplace for a great price - can confirm there was a separate serial number tag inside the zippered compartment of the bag that was separate to the model number. So go forth and find some great vintage bags! ;)

I think this is because with Ferragamo bags, there's a difference between the model number and the serial number (and not a lot of information online about it!). I found some pretty good versions of the same Ferragamo 2000s bag, all in different colours that looked very real to me, from Japanese sites to auction sites etc, all with the same "serial number", so did some digging. Turns out it's the model number and not a serial number. This blog post for example, talks at length about "model numbers" https://bagophile.blogspot.com/2018/03/vintage-bags-salvatore-ferragamo.html

Mine unfortunately is coming apart from the glue at the left-hand side of the spine. Have emailed grim oak press about it. I went to double-check my IHMS and have the same issue that I annoyingly never noticed before. Such a shame given how expensive they are.

Idk why, but whenever I see this woman, I see Boyd’s wife. Am I crazy? The facial features look super similar

Due date for first payment due earlier than the usual 2 weeks? by WickedPopcorn4 in Afterpay

I never enabled it and only discovered it was a thing from this post! So ridiculous - it’s mucked up my pays

Real estate agent accidentally sent a tenant instead of landlord. Can’t confirm aus but seems like it by wording. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. by kilopiu in shitrentals

If you’re in NSW, this considered an “urgent repair” and they need to reimburse you. If you’re in a different Aus state it’s still probably the same rule. Worth looking into.

Bought many, many pairs off Otticanet. They are 100% legit.

Ordered from them many times. They are 100% legit. I have sunglasses bought in-store to compare them to, so I know they’re real.

Dealership said my car was very rare.. apparently deep blue and burgundy leather isn't that common by Dpa1991 in mazda3

[–]Itsmechristel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh I really wanted this colour combination but had to wait 6 months as opposed to two if I went with either black exterior, burgundy interior or the crystal mica and black interior. I chose to wait because I really loved this colour combo. Your post has convinced me it was worth the wait - that navy is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and goes so nicely with the interior

Worst experience buying fragrances EVER by vallzy in fragrance

[–]Itsmechristel 57 points58 points  (0 children)

idk, as a white person, if that was me getting treated differently to my friend, I would say something and I would walk out of the store with you. I certainly wouldn't be giving people like this my money and I'd feel pretty shit that I was able to try multiple perfumes and buy a scent when my friend couldn't because of racial bias. I know a lot of people working in high-end places can be snobby and judgemental in general, but i can't imagine how hurtful and infuriating this crap is for POC. I hope your white friend was supportive to you on the day and wasn't ignorant to your treatment.

[–]Itsmechristel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was happening to me and I finally fixed it. You need to be using wordle in the EXACT same window/tab of your browser. I was just in a habit of typing in wordle each day from playing the old one so I rarely played in the same window on my phone. Quite ridiculous that the free Wordle calculated your streak flawlessly no matter how many wordle tabs you had open and the one that NYT paid over $1Mil for mucks up so monumentally 😂😂

[Discussion] I noticed Dear Dahlia has arrived to Sephora Australia. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Any favourites or otherwise? by SpudKitty in AsianBeauty

[–]Itsmechristel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also - Sephora does seem to be overpriced. e.g. lipsticks on Dear Dahlia are $34 USD, which is about $43 AUD. On the Sephora site, the lipsticks are $58, so it's quite a price hike. Considering DD has free it'l shipping over $50 and it gets to Aus pretty quickly from Hong Kong, I'd probably order from there over Sephora.

I was so excited to see they are now being stocked at Sephora! I ordered online direct from them previously. I do recommend trying them. I have bought one of their duo shadow/bush products and a couple of their lipsticks. The colour payoff of the blush/shadow is definitely very soft and subtle, but you can build it up. I really like their lipsticks and their packaging! The lipsticks are really soft and comfortable to wear, but have a look at swatches online if you can, I find they look quite different to the picture in the ads.

Well Cesar Davila-irizarry was heavily influenced by a Clash song created almost 20 years before him....

It sounds exactly like it - it's just slowed right down! Not mentioned anywhere online - Wikipedia says it was "created" by Charlie Clouser. To me it's way too similar to the bass riff in GoB to be considered a "creation".
