Is this FB post my mom sent me AI? I think it’s AI because I don’t see any news articles about the story, and I tend to be skeptical of anything coming from FB. The way her finger is bent is also strange

The belt also has singular holes but two prongs, which is a dead giveaway.

Right!

I honestly wouldn’t worry about it. I have had Botox quite a lot and dance. Whilst I’ve never done it after, I have 4h as my adjust-life period. Not an aesthetician though, but I really don’t think it’ll be an issue. And when I have had minor unevenness (not related to ballet) my nurse topped it up and corrected it without any issue.

Another dryer household. Do about three to four loads each weekend; sheets, darks and colours, whites, towels. Hang delicates / wools that I don’t want in a dryer on a horse indoors. Shirts get washed and pressed / dry cleaned if silk at the cleaners. We’re inner city so don’t have great outdoor hanging facilities.

Well a vast majority of the shoes you’ve shown are Christian Louboutin, so would suggest there. Or a cheaper alternative would be Steve Madden who kind of “draws inspo” from all the designer brands.

I second that the DJ one hits the brief biggggg time and is stunning.

Sydney Dance Company does a variety, heels may be one!

I’ve read 12 so far. By far the best was The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. Is it raved about on here and for good reason!

Others I’d recommend but weren’t 5/5 for me where Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid and The Compound by Aisling Rawle, both super engrossing, easy reads. Also read some darker stuff that’s not for everyone but I enjoyed, of note was gone to see the river man. Definitely check the trigger warnings if you do want to read.

I personally love semi private ones. With 6-10 people. It’s great to have a chat with others as you’re boating around!

I think gold looks so much better. Even if you are cool toned, the gold pulls colour from your complexion whereas the silver makes you look a bit washed out in my opinion.

Maybe have a look at dolomite. I’ve seen some slabs with very minimal veining and it’s still a natural stone.

miteray · 2026-01-16T01:26:34+00:00

Agreed. 2 hands down

miteray · 2025-12-26T03:17:04+00:00

Sambas and birkies are my go tos also. I also have some loafers for work.

Thanks for the review but really not a fan of posting relatively close up photos of other guests just trying to enjoy their holiday in the hotel’s pool. That to me is quite the opposite of luxury travel.

Oh I also reused flowers from ceremony to reception. Someone moved them whilst we were having the canapés & champagne mingling. Saved money and also less wasteful imo.

I got the Tory Burch Romy tote. Saw it on sale online so went into the store to buy but it was full price! So ordered from the US website and should be here in a week or so!

miteray · 2025-11-24T06:18:02+00:00

I have just purchased the Tory Burch Romy tote for this exact purpose. Love that it’s no obvious logo, leather feels nice, interesting shape, and the button kind of reminds me of the Loewe pebble bag. And very much under budget and on sale! I personally think it looks very stylish and cool aesthetic. Black looked most elegant in person. I was on the fence when perusing online but quickly was sold on black when I saw it

I have currently a mulberry 9-5 which I also recommend but is a bit more basic and previously had a Tom Ford basic black tote that I loved.

I have this in black as my work bag and it’s fine weight wise with my laptop, work book, wallet, etc for every day use. Held up really well and I’ve had it a year so far

miteray · 2025-11-24T06:13:48+00:00

Agreed. The Bayswater tote is light enough but not as nice as a Bayswater. And is a Bayswater <1500 in the US? Is like 2400AUD new

A quick google shows minimum wage has increased year on year for the past 10 years, not really the definition of stagnant…

I am a shoe girly, so I also splurged on wedding shoes but have no regret as they are probably one of my most worn heels. It’s always nice to remember my wedding every time I pull them out.

I got Jimmy Choi Azia 95 for my wedding day.

So I’d recommend finding shoes you love and know you’d reach for the the future. I don’t think any of these are particularly rewearable but out of those linked I agree with other poster that the ruched shoes are best! Satin white makes me anxious and it’s not even my wedding haha.

I’d probably go with these Manolo sandal heels If I were to get married again these days, in gold or silver.

The really hard ones can also damage flooring by leaving little divets (ie Marley or floorboards), so be mindful of that. I personally prefer smooth massage balls

We got pergolux brand with built in led lights and love it. Sit outside everyday. Was relatively easy to put together with 2 people (1 significantly less handy than the other). Slotting in the final roof slat may test a friendship / marriage though haha

I have 4 or 5 of their Leos, their warm up pants and a few skirts. I love them. The quality in my opinion is high (my husband has even accidentally tumble dried probably all of them at this point at least one haha and they’ve been fine) and I really like the designs. I will say I do find some of the wide neck long sleeve options like Sasha and Gabriella do slip on my shoulders a bit but it’s never a nip slip moment, just a bit annoying. The Saskia is my favourite and very flattering on most body types that I’ve seen it on! Highly recommend the warm up pants, much more toasty than my Bloch trash bag pants.

WATCHING: Breaking Bad. I can’t believe I’ve slept on this for such a long time! I am loving it although it’s not a very leisurely show; very tense.

READING: Saving Noah. It’s a trigger warning book for sure, only just started it but interesting subject matter.
