EEEK!

37? That’s me! Trade with me! I got some nice anna sui clothes…maybe some betsey johnson…but lots of anna…cmon…you like anna sui don’t you?

Re: EEEK!

I just listed it on eBay yesterday! I need the $$ though, sorry! want to off-set some of the $ I’ve spent on LV bags the past month πŸ™‚

Wow, you managed to pick up some great stuff from the AH outlet. I hardly found anything in my size πŸ™ I wanted a few cami’s but they were all too big πŸ™

And that Japanese lemonade is one of my fave drinks. You can buy them in bulk from Asian Grocery stores!

Hehe yeah, we bought 4 bottles, but then found them for 70c cheaper each at Chatswood! D’oh… They’re so good though

Wow, what fantastic hauls, Bev! I am so so jealous! Love the pinstripe skirt and the pants! πŸ™‚

How do you shop without using your credit card? Do you use EFTPOS (is it still called that? I’ve been out of Oz for so long)) or carry lots of cash with you?

Ya Eftpos, or I use my CC then go home and transfer the $$ from my regular account to my cc account. Basically, I just make sure I don’t owe the bank *anything*, otherwise I don’t really own the items, the bank does!

Aww thanks πŸ™‚ But having said that, I only saved about $200 this month after all those LV purchases.. Oops :X I’ll be better next month though!!

Hey, I’m glad you’ve finally tried the Japanese restaurant…hope you weren’t disappointed. I say that since I think the restaurant has changed hands (I’m not 100% certain though), I’ll have to go back there sometime and see if the old owners are still there and just went on a holiday.

However saying that I think the food is still decent. You gotta try the soft shell crab if they still have it next time…

Yes it was fab! Loads of Japanese there so that speaks for itself πŸ™‚ oooo def trying the crab next time, anything else you recommend?

I also saw a Jap noodle place next door that was popular, might try that out too!

Yes, definitely try out the noodle place 2 doors down! Their servings are the biggest I’ve ever seen! You could literally feed 2 people with the one order!

we have those japanese drinks here too, my dad used to drink it and my bf’s dad used to drink it when they were kids its been a while for a while. silly concept put a marble in it. hee hee…what size are those boots?! They are SO cute!

I WISH I’d “discovered” those drinks earlier , they’re so yum! Now I gotta hunt down more cool Jap drinks

The boots are sz37 so they don’t fit me, but I intend to sell them on eBay!

Wow Bev, 500 bucks for that Speedy is a very good deal, no? It’s close to new. You always get the best deals! When i do search on Ebay Australia for LV products, 9 pages appear but sad to say they’re 99% fake fake fake. Only 1-2 auctions (those from Aussie) are authentic.

Yeah it was in perfect new condition πŸ™‚ It was torture waiting for 2 days to pick it up at the store though! i kept calling the SA and going “Can I pick it up yet?” lol

Look for auctions with a “my poupette recommended seller” logo stamp, those are 100% authentic πŸ™‚

I had some of those Japanese drinks too in the United States. Instead of lemonade, it was some sort of clear fruity soda. My brothers and I were pretty fascinated with the marble too! We broke a few bottles just to collect the marbles inside =Þ

I absolutely LOVE the flowered heels!!!! AND the skirt!!!! I can’t wait to start making a living so I can start to spoil myself. ‘Til then, I’ll just continue to live vicariously through your posts! ^__~

I think it’s the same thing! they just call it “japanese lemonade” but it’s clear soda with this fruity/bubblegum taste. so yum :)~ Do you have to break the entire bottle to get to the glass ball?? I’m going to have one now and see if I can get it out πŸ˜›

Oh right! Okay, yeah then it must be the same thing. Except the design on the bottle is slightly different. The one I had had a cartoon whale on it πŸ™‚ But YES!!! It’s sooooo yummy. Now I have a craving for it too πŸ˜‰

I think we just broke the top of the bottle against a table…it was actually harder than we thought to break that sucker! We may have ended up taking it to our back yard to break against the concrete. Just be careful you don’t cut yourself with the glass!!

*skips* thanks! It’s the ‘classic’ bag that it seems like everyone has.. so I finally caved πŸ˜‰

to add to my comment earlier, the food you ate, those are what I serve daily at the restaurant yummmmmm… except for the octopus balls, when I first saw it, I was like hmm I didn’t know that octopus has balls and they’re hugeee LOL, that’s when I realized that it’s the balls balls… I’m so retarded.

I love everything you bought! I really like the Speedy 25, whenever I get around to buying one I’m getting the 25.

Hopefully I’ll get around to taking more pics of my Coach today,sorry its taking forever!

The 25 is the best I reckon.. the rest just look too big, but depends on how tall you are(I’m real short)

HOpe you’re having fun with your Coach!! πŸ™‚

I agree,the others are too big. Good for travel,but for a everyday bad the 25 is really nice.

At least your still saving money,I’m tring to..but shopping is just so easy to do! argh!

Oh yes,my Coach has been very good and hasn’t got any more dirt on it. lol.

Yeah the 25 is similar to my Brera, so I gotta decide which one I want to keep!

Yay glad your Coach is going well, they make such gorgeous leather bags!

Hi Beverly, I went to Alannah Hill Outlet today too but nothing really caught my eye.. As you said most of the sizes were 10+ and the stock were pretty old too! The prices were excellent though! And the boots are GORGEOUS! Too bad they didn’t have it in my size when I went (got there around 4pm).. definately gonna pay a visit in a couple of weeks though to see if they get new stocks!

Oh and didn’t you buy the LV Speedy 25 off E-Bay? I was going to bid as well but you beat me to it with BUY IT NOW, AUD$500 was such a bargain for an authentic LV purse with all the box, ribbons, carry-bag!! Gotta love E-Bay for the bargains!! πŸ™‚

Yeah the prices were amazing! Some weren’t too cheap, but there were some great bargains. I was there just before you! The guy said that more stock is coming in a couple of days (the store isn’t fully ready yet) and they’ll get new stock every season.

Hehe I bought the LV off a girl I knew, but asked her to put it on eBay so we could leave each other fb, hence the BIN πŸ˜› Best to buy off someone you know, or someone you already know on eBay, so you know it’s authentic!

What?!?! Are you for real? I’m definately gonna be going back next week if they’re bringing new stocks in!! Birkenhead Point is only a 15 minutes drive from city so it’s not that far πŸ™‚ Thanks for the great news!

Personally I am still hestitated about buying LVs off E-Bay. Not so much because I’m worried about its authenticity and all – I mean there’s mypoupette.com and you can always make sure its auth with reciepts etc but it’s just all so much hassle. I also found that on Australian E Bay the prices for auth LVs tend to sky-rocket, some even managed to come quite close to retail prices (within $1-200). I’d probably prefer going into a LV store and purchase from there, just for the whole experience and a piece of mind πŸ™‚ I travel quite frequently so it’s even better to slash off the 10% GST…

By the way, Speedy 25 is the perfect size for you (looking at the photo). I prefer the 30 though simply because it fits more BUT I always feel like I’m carrying a brick instead of a handbag πŸ˜›

Is there a bus from the city to Birkenhead? I’m thinking I can go there after work on Thurs πŸ˜›

I buy LV off eBay when I know the person and she’s selling, and I ask her to list on eBay so we can get the feedback. Or anyone with a “my poupette recommended seller” logo is 100% safe! But yes, the authentic ones are really $$ in AU, and internationally they’re cheaper but you gotta watch out for customs!

If you’re tall the 30 would be fab! But I’m a short ass so the 25 already looks big πŸ˜›

You could catch 500 series to Victoria Road and it’s a short walk to the Outlet Centre. There’s also a ferry service stop at BK Point if a little bit of cruising along the harbour tickles your fancy πŸ™‚

The best way to get there is by car I guess – even though the traffic can be really REALLY bad during peak hours.

http://www.birkenheadpoint.com.au/gettinghere.amx

I still can’t get over the fact that LV increases its retail price by around 5% every six months! I KNOW it’s mainly because of the strong EUROS but COME ON! Apparently the cheapest place to get LV is in Germany because of the high tax refunds! NOW we all know where to head to for our next holiday break! πŸ™‚

Ahhh thanks! I might go next weekend by car, seems like it’s easiest :X

Yes the thing I just hate about LV is the price increase.. just purposely pushing it up for the heck of it, I reckon ;(

I can’t believe you’ve never had the Japanese lemonade before. I used to drink them all the time back in Singapore at those Taiwanese teahouses. Anyway I tried on those heels 2 weeks back but not sure if I like the huge flower enough to buy it. Thinking of getting the black pointy heels instead.

Me too, I must live under a rock or something. Chris and I were sitting there going “MAN! This is great!!”

The heels are cute, but I mainly got them ‘cos they were cheap and in my size πŸ˜‰ Not sure if I can actually wear these to work and not look weird..

I think they’re probably more suitable for going out/partying. They look cute with an Alannah outfit but a little too frou frou for work.

Oh wow! I’m so jealous! That looks like quite a horde you got! πŸ™‚ I missed the AH factory outlet in melb because we ran out of time and I ran out of money πŸ™ Next time though!!

Awwwwwww!!!!! The AH outlet in Melb would be superb.. it’s even bigger than the one here in Sydney. Definitely next time πŸ™‚

Your shopping sounds like a huuuge dream! I love your Marc top as well as the AH sandals!!! Ooooh lovely sandals. Any chance you will be going there again?

The Marc top really sucks in the pic πŸ™ It’s so sexy and adorable on though! But I’m feeling waaaay too pooped and yuck to change into it and take a pic πŸ˜‰

I’ll probably go there again in a few wks time. Happy to cp for you if you want!

Not Bev but I’m heading into the outlet tomorrow to pick up some stuff for a friend. You want me to pick up a pair of the heels for you? They’re $100 and I believe you should fit the size 36. πŸ™‚

those boots are too cute πŸ™‚

heh I know way too many girls with those cheap knock-off bags πŸ™ Good to see someone with the real thing! πŸ™‚ I’m sure you would have read that LV etc are going after the knock-offs – because it’s one thing thwen they used to come out months after the real ones were in the shops, but since they’re coming out as soon as they hit the runways, they’re devaluing the real thing…

Yeah.. sometimes you kinda wonder why bother getting an authentic bag, when you can get a cheap one for half the price. But at the end of the day, even if no one can tell, i like the fact I’ve saved up to buy myself something lovely πŸ™‚

ooh ooh and I LOVE that lemoade. I had some at the teppanyaki place we went to in canberrra. Did you see the little face it makes?

Ohhh you’ve had it!! What is the ‘ball’ thing for?? Just to be cute, or does it actually do something? WHAT FACE??!?!

I think it was just to be cute – oh and it’s annoying if you drink it the wrong way and it stops the liquid coming out … rather than sitting in the nose bit of the face…

the face – if you look at it a certain way – there two eyes and the pointedish bump at the front is liek a nose… um… hard to explain! and the blue is a little cap.

Ooooooo I actually figured out that you had to drink it a certain way!! I figured it out AFTER we finished it, hahahah

I didn’t know about the face thing, just popped into the kitchen to look. hehe you’re right, looks a bit ghoulish tho!

You are one very very happy girl hehehee and I’m so happy for you. I love the skirt and the slim pants. I don’t think I ever see Alannah Hill here πŸ™

*skips* thanks! It’s the ‘classic’ bag that it seems like everyone has.. so I finally caved πŸ˜‰
