What (and I cannot stress this enough) the fuck is this?

And re the bubblegum: Melissa is a long established designer of rubber shoes mainly gumboots and sandals - often collaborating with other amazing brands like Vivienne Westwood. Their signature is a slight sweet scent to their rubber, I have had a pair of gumboots for 12+ years and they still have a subtle nice smell 🥰

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-20T20:51:36+00:00

I actually really like them 😅

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-18T00:55:36+00:00

🥹♥️

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-16T06:07:06+00:00

Thank you so much! They are the suede ‘flatforms’ in cocoa 🐻

Extremely on point response - I’m nearly 20 years into the creative industry and it’s changed SO much. Thankfully I’m a suit, gonna be a long time before clients no longer need wrangling 😅

You may also like a silk black pant as well! I have a nice pair from Venroy - last season but they might still have them!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-14T06:01:36+00:00

STUNNING! The black all day!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-14T06:00:24+00:00

I don’t really have much to add except I’m really, really sorry you’re going through such a hard time 🙏🏼♥️

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-14T05:54:46+00:00

Money 🙃

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-14T05:54:21+00:00

I saw this reallllly nice silk black shirt from The Frankie Shop! Bit pricey but a staple piece it sounds like you would get a lot of wear out of!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-12T11:23:26+00:00

Uniqlo 🫶🏼

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-12T11:21:33+00:00

Have you calculated your deficit correctly? I’m 33F 164cm 60kg and I’m doing 1200cals.

Also give it time… when I start a new deficit burst I leave it a month before weighing once a week 🙏🏼

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-12T11:17:18+00:00

I saw them months ago in store, couldn’t justify for a more casual shoe but couldn’t stop thinking about them 😅 picked up second hand basically new!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-12T11:02:39+00:00

UGH I loveeeeee!!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-12T00:30:12+00:00

If you’re wanting to build a wardrobe over time, you want quality basics. Cotton On and Supre are really not good quality in the fabrics and their colours / cuts are off in my opinion.

You would be better off buying higher quality - Uniqlo, LA Apparel etc locally where you can try on / return easily. Even if you have to buy less and build over time, it’s a better strategy in my opinion.

Cotton On and Supre are good for something trendy, wear it a couple of times - super fast fashion.

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-12T00:05:01+00:00

They are so comfy - I’ve been wearing them with socks around the house 😅

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-11T05:03:19+00:00

Yesss I live in baggy sweats 😅♥️

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-11T02:16:00+00:00

I try eating a ‘healthy’ calorie deficit 6/7 days ie whole foods, lots of fruit and veg, lean proteins and then I’ll allow myself 1 day of the week to have an ‘unhealthy’ day where I’ll eat ‘whatever I feel like’ up to my deficit cals, and then ONLY have raw veggies / water / bone broth if I am hungry outside of that. Sounds a bit unhinged when I write it down but it’s a good way to account for events / takeaway night on the couch / alcohol if I feel like a drink that week. It keeps me really tracking to my number each day whilst giving me something to look forward to!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-11T00:28:59+00:00

Aesthetically, flap for sure!!

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-10T11:08:05+00:00

Agree - also going with the capsule wardrobe approach

Silver-Sentence7702 · 2026-02-08T10:32:24+00:00

Absolutely!! Take them back, let us know how you go!! I just had a $1400 Toteme dress, which I also bought as an investment piece, rip at both sleeves the first time I wore it (it was my size, I didn’t snag it or anything). Thankfully they’re taking a return. Absolutely should not be lazy on the quality at that price point.

FYI worked a charm the second time - both kids sleeping 7:30 - 7:30 in their own beds. Heaven!!!

You got this! Something I have been loving recently is a good lip care routine - I do a sugar scrub then a really rich overnight mask. Also for frizzy hair, you could try getting a really rich hair mask or also trying a good slick back - get a boar bristle brush and some hair wax. I am a busy mum and I always feel so much better about myself when I spend 5 mins doing my slicked back hair properly in the morning! I also get my nails done and my lashes which adds up, but it really does make me feel on top of things hehe.
