Don't pay full price for Triangl swimwear or NLP swimwear! Here are some cheaper alternatives.

It's currently winter in Australia, so this post is not so relevant for Australian readers; however, the northern hemisphere is currently experiencing summer.

I have included the photo on the left below to show you that sometimes colours differ. You should always find an authentic photo from the seller (a photo taken by the seller) such as this one before you buy. You can also email them asking for one.

How to get Beyonce and Rhianna's rings

This is me at my Year 12 formal. My dress is by Shakuhachi and it worked very well on the night.

Cheap Birkenstocks!

If you're anything like me, you'll love that Arizona Birkenstock sandals are back in fashion.

However, if you don't want to pay $132 (here) just for the label on the inside, there are many places to get them.

 If you are looking for the standard Birkentstock style without a platform underneath, try Ali Express. This website is primarily Asian and sells wholesale clothes directly from the factories in which they are made, therefore they are a fraction of the price you would pay in a store.

There is a multiplicity of Birks to choose from on Ali Express. These ones come in black, white, and grey, and are $10.00!!

Ebay also have some very real looking ones: 

'New Fashion Chunky Summer Sandals Women' - $20.00

Even Asos have some relatively cheap ones here:

 Chockers Sandals above - $31.18

*Tip: Postage on these is quite alot, unless you order more than one item. So get the black and white together and postage is only $3!

Next 'Double Bands Footbed' Sandals - $36.00

However, the Birks I like the best this seasons are the Platform Birkenstock style.

 i.e. the Topshop 'Fang' Sandals below- $86.00

Find them at Asos:

Asos 'Truffle Flatform 2 Strap Mule Flat Sandals' (Black or white) - $39.00

Or for a combination of black and white, try Spy Love Buy:

Spy Love Buy 'Tropic Wedge Platform Sandals' - $25.55 
(postage excluded)



And the best look-alikes are...


Givenchy Floral Print Double-Buckled Sandals - $795   vs    Dune London Jane Sandals - $43.00 (here)
