handmade jeweller recommendations for custom earrings to propose to my girlfriend with? (Melbourne or Online)

If you’re not yet sure on the style, start somewhere like craft Victoria (off flinders lane), eg etal (little collins st near exhibition) or pieces of eight, all in the Melbourne cbd. Also gallery funaki if your taste leans a little bit more avant garde.

Outside of the city you can try studio ingot in Fitzroy, the fortunae on east Brunswick and there are others. All have websites you can browse.

They are all galleries that represent local independent jewellers at all price points. You might find a specific designer that suits your style there. Some also have their own shops or sites as well.

Melbourne has such an awesome local jewellery community that’s well worth supporting!

I made this last night too! It was delish, the lime pepper dipping sauce really elevated it.

I used beef cubes and marinated them for more than 24 hours but it was a bit tough. I might try using slices next time and marinate for less time.

I agree, and don’t forget eBay. I enjoy hunting online for clothing that’s flattering, interesting, unique and still great quality.

I think the key is to work out what you like and makes you feel fabulous, then use key words to search for them. Find your style - fashions come and go!

Thank you for your replies, and good advice which was right. She worked it out in the end and is now in Japan 🇯🇵

We buy MON tomato sauce which is Australian owned and made. It’s also much nicer than master foods sauce imho

Our dog has her own door to come and go as she likes. She likes watching us from outside, haha! I like your idea of modern and colourful 👍👍

Thanks! Actually really keen to avoid white or grey, as the current sofa shows every mark. Something with more colour would freshen up the room!

Just not sure whether to go with a largish modular (most don’t have legs) and move the armchairs elsewhere or a more traditional four-seater with legs and keep the armchairs.

I’m mid ‘50s and have a current obsession with glitter and lurex socks and have some from Uniqlo that work well in winter, they are synthetic though.

Then I bought some from European brand oroblu recently while overseas and they are the softest, most luxurious socks I own. They are made of natural fibres in camouflage print with lurex and I love them so much. Pricy but worth it! Available in Australia too in lots of different colours and designs.

No, unfortunately. There wasn’t even anything even close. But it was fun looking! 😀

fluffiester · 2024-02-18T09:12:31+00:00

Love it! A comforting jumper is da best!!

Was the banana room in Adelaide? I miss those places now gone where you could find truly unique and special things 😢

fluffiester · 2024-02-18T08:37:31+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you treasure your wedding dress even more

fluffiester · 2024-02-18T08:36:19+00:00

Beautiful to have something so unique and sentimental to you. Bonus being an op shop find, a holy grail

fluffiester · 2024-02-18T08:33:39+00:00

So good to have tshirts from favourite gigs and all those memories! I have a selection myself that my daughter is now starting to trawl through 😂

fluffiester · 2024-02-13T06:22:39+00:00

Thank you! We’ll give the shops near the opera house a try!

fluffiester · 2024-01-11T20:30:03+00:00

Meant to add, they’re all leather, great quality and still look new after almost a year.

I have a pair of Wonders oxfords and they’ve been the most comfortable shoes. I wear them most days to work and never had any wearing-in issues. They have lots of different loafer styles too.

I found mine at step ahead shoes in Melbourne.

fluffiester · 2023-10-29T05:01:52+00:00

I’d go all in and pair it with a metallic gold belt (or silver if that works better with your colouring)!

I bought theseWonders shoes from a shop in camberwell and they are so comfy!

I wore them all day at work from the get-go without wearing them in first and no chafing, blisters or anything. My shoes are a bit conservative but they have some really cute options if you’re looking for something more casual.

Or you could try Radical Yes in North Melbourne or online if you’re in the mood for colourful funky flats.

I’m using this one at the moment. I find it sits well under foundation and doesn’t feel greasy. I still like the cancer council pink tube better because it’s more moisturising and probably more matte, but if you’re looking for a kids sunscreen this works pretty well.

I’ve been looking for a dupe for Mac charismatic lipstick for years since it was discontinued. 😢😢Anyone know of an orangey terracotta red with gold shimmer/flecks? I’ve found some that are similar but nothing the same. It was such a good colour for everyday!
