T's Online Shopping Reviews: StrawberryNET

The fresh cosmetic company

Cosmetics, perfumes, skincare products.  These are items we use every day and regularly purchase, and it's easy to forget how much we spend on them sometimes.  I always find it a bit of a shock when my Priceline clubcard statement is sent to me every few months and I discover that I've spent far too much on a few small items...

Well for those of you with a penchant for the more products, here's a site that might tickle your fancy.

Have a look at StrawberryNET - the world's numero-uno in the sale of discounted skincare, makeup, cosmetics and fragrances.  Their range is quite extensive, and they offer quality products at really good prices.
Some features that make this a fantastic site:

• Extensive range, including the major brands that you'd find in David Jones or Myers
• Competitive, discounted prices
• No need to register!
• Up to 10% "loyalty bonus" if you keep ordering from StrawberryNET
• 5% extra discount if you buy more than 3 products in one hit
• FREE SHIPPING to anywhere in the world!  Too good to be true.

I'm not sure whether it was because I placed an order on a Sunday, but my shipment was dispatched 2 hours after I had submitted it.  That's what I call efficient!  And although it was a while ago now since I ordered from the site, I do remember that I didn't have to wait very long for the goods to arrive.
And each item was individually gift-wrapped too!

Highly recommended

My latest loot: October

A couple of purchases I have made recently that are part of  'Buy nothing new Month' this October that T & I have committed to!! We will be updating the blog with the things we find around the place (op shops, swap meets, ebay and the like) so check back to see our bargains!

Burberry vs Swap Meet

Burberry Fall RTW 2010

Real leather jacket (made in Italy) found at Karrinyup Swap Meet. It is going to be PERFECT for my Northern Hemisphere travels in November!

Acne chiffon printed blouse

Topshop blouse- it reminds me of the above blouse that I have been loving since I saw in on Caroline's mode, and this one was clearly much cheaper :)

Another random find from the swap meet (only $3!!)

If anyone Perth-ites haven't visited a nearby swap meet recently or EVER, then you should certainly remedy that situation quick smart! Karrinyup is the closest to me and is definitely worth the 6.30am start. It has everything: toys, books, clothes, shoes, electrical appliances, furniture! You have to have 'the eye of faith'* though...if you go there expecting junk, junk you will find! If you go there with a thrifty eye looking for a one off treasure, you have much better luck.

* The eye of faith is my little theory about why most people have no luck in op shops. You've gotta have faith! And yes, I do realise that the eye of faith is term usually applied to X Rays and CT scans, but... does that matter?

PS: Please excuse the horrible photo backdrop. There are no blank walls in my house!

WAMSS Medical Dinner 2010

Each year we hold out for September to come - firstly because it's the start of spring (yes - a wardrobe change for warmer weather!), and secondly because one of the big annual events of our study-filled med-student lives is on!

Here are just a few happy snaps from Med Dinner a few weeks ago that we never got around to posting because of exams :(

(T: sorry about the frightful colours - I was not in the mood to fix the settings properly while photographing and paid the price afterwards trying to fix them with iphoto...)

A little photo-time in the front garden (the wind kindly agreed to blow our hair around for us)

Our lovely friend Cayley hosted pre's at her house, where we took some of the nicer photos of the night with the DSLR.  Then it was off to the Convention Centre where we partied the rest of the night away!  (with minimal photo evidence since the big camera was stowed away safely in the cloak room for the remainder of the night)

Looks like a school photo, doesn't it?

The boys, being... boys.

The theme of the ball was "the Secret Garden" - complete with human statues, birdcages, fountains, and plenty of ivy!

Dancing!  We love dancing!

Can't wait for next year's dinner!

Spotted in STM on Oct. 3rd:

T: my 5cm x 10cm moment of fame.  Hahaha!

Dreaming...

We are currently turning undergoing transformation into this:

When we would much rather be turning into one of these:

Long walks around the city

Taking photos of anything and everything

Rugging up in crisp white sheets

At the beach for sunset rugged up in a warm jumper

Picnicing with friends (just love this photo, sorry for the repost)

Going places with cute boys

Back in Bali with said fellows.

Hopefully a bit more original blog action will happen sometime this week when two horrible exams are over!! Wish us luck!

Now I just need some rain...

S & I were getting a bit glum this winter, both of us having ruined a perfectly good pair of suede shoes thanks to a few rainy walks from uni to the med library.  We joked around a bit about having wellies - namely Hunters, which had been getting quite a lot of coverage on the web thanks to Kate Moss (who else, really?).

So it was a huge surprise when S and a few other of my girly pals got me a pair of Hunters for my birthday!  Of course, it's not raining now, but I'm betting they're going to get a work-out when I go abroad this coming summer holiday!

So Frenchy, So... Isabel Marant.

T & I have been in lust with Isabel Marant's 2010 Fall collections for some time...

Whilst I'm not sure either of use would wear sparkly blue pants on any given day, it is a fantastic idea to add colour to an outfit by changing the colour of your pants.  Who would've thought?

ça alors!  Aren't these looks just so simple and cool?

We love how the collection is so effortlessly chic - they're such easy looks to emulate.  Just roll your jeans, half-tuck your shirt into your pants (or wrap an obi-belt around the waist), put on some low heels (so that the cropped-pants don't crop your silhouette too much), then some dangly earrings and perhaps a silk neck-scarf to round off the look.  It's all very laid-back.

Give me a pair of scissors - i want to cut up my jeans now!

The Fish and the Chip

Finally - the weather is wonderful again!  And to celebrate the start of study break and the fact that we're now 3/4 finished with this semester, we joined our uni pals at Cottesloe beach for a fish and chip lunch!

What a poser.  But a stunning one at that!

Greasy goodness

A fight to the death

mmmm... Icecream!
