I had a fantastic day as well and was lovely to finally meet everyone - although I felt like I already knew everybody so well. When KP showed me a pair of white clams that she was trying on and told me that they had white jeans as well that would go with my silk top I had to stop and remember how she knew what I had in my wardrobe! </p> <p>There were certainly some bargains snapped up as well, but I'll leave all the gritty details for the write-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229777 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 22:22:16 +0000 yublocka 229777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe Theresa you have let the cat out of the bag!! I can't believe your girls thought you should have bought more. I think you did pretty darn well!!!!</p> <p>Ladies it was a pleasure to meet you all. Had such a lovely day. Sure was wrecked by the end of it though. Thank goodness for coffee and cake hey - that helped perked me up. Can't wait to do it again sometime!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229527 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 08:54:13 +0000 Louise 229527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds great can't wait for the write up.

I can't wait to see pics and hear about the write up in detail! Great to hear you had a ball - although I did expect you to </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229406 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 00:19:32 +0000 Theresa 229406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good Morning Ladies!!!</p> <p>Can I just say that Tam &amp; I stopped by the airport bar for a little *beverage* before we flew home - fabulous end to the day LOL</p> <p>I feel like I'm only just surfacing here!!! It was almost 10pm last night when I got home (by the time I flew in, picked up kids, then drove home) and I slept very well indeed - I did not want to get up this morning - but I did, and have just sorted everyone out and managed to get near the laptop.</p> <p>But, just to confirm, we had a BALL, everyone is just so fabulous - even more fabulous in person!!</p> <p>I've just shown my girls my haul, and they loved everything, but were disappointed I didn't buy more LOL </p> <p>I'm about to sort photo's and will be in touch with Angie soon about the write up!! (Once I've woken up a little more, and cleaned my house!).</p> <p>Oh and on the flight home, I was sitting next to a very handsome, very intelligent, very nice Dr from our local hospital - we had a great chat, and he was completely bemused by the fact that I would seriously fly to Brisbane for the day purely to meet friends and go shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229151 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 10:56:36 +0000 Sharon 229151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'll must join the chorus - it was such a fun day! So lovely to meet everyone and wonderful to find that they are all as beautiful, stylish and and interesting in real life as in the ether. </p> <p>Thankyou for a great day, girls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229140 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 08:15:57 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 229140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So exciting - looking forward to seeing some pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229139 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 08:12:33 +0000 RoseandJoan 229139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so excited, how could an Aussie YLF gathering not be amazing, you are all so special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229132 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 08:01:28 +0000 Katiepea 229132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I've just got home from spending a lovely, lovely afternoon with the YLF Aussies. It was fascinating to see everyone in 3D after all this time of internet communication! </p> <p>Tara was taller than I was expecting; Puffenstuff was really petite; Theresa and I are the same height (go figure!); Sharon is beautifully coiffed and shapely; and Tam is glowingly beautiful (particularly admirable considering she was incredibly sleep deprived).</p> <p>I can unequivocally say that the ladies are just as delightful in person as they are on the forum. We even made some casual remarks about planning a get together for next year, so I guess that's a sign that the day was a success! </p> <p>[And an extra little message for those who attended today - Just wanted to say that it was an absolute pleasure to finally meet you in person and spend some time with you. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to actually shop without constant distraction from small children! :-)] </p> <p>x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-229091 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 05:57:30 +0000 Tara 229091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It.

Will be worth it though!!! And hopefully I'll catch some zzzz on the plane too.</p> <p>How far is brissie from airport? My flight back home leaves at 6, so I need to be there by 5:30pm. Similar to you theresa, but a little earlier!</p> <p>ok must go set alarm, and work out what to wear tomorrow. im thinking dress + leggings that can be removed in case i get too warm. 23 degrees still sounds very warm to me here in 14 degree melbourne!!!! it hit 20 degrees the other day here and felt positively tropical!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-228525 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:59:23 +0000 Sharon 228525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to it. Shame the weather is so terrible at the moment, but we can console ourselves with spring clothes and dream of days in the sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-228524 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:54:20 +0000 Theresa 228524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK gals... I'm signing off now until we meet!!!</p> <p>Bag is packed, maps, my shopping list, mag for plane, camera, notepad and pen (yes, I'm anal - I take them everywhere important!)... think I have everything I'm going to need for the day!</p> <p>Tam &amp; Karen I shall see you both bright and early, the rest of you - not much later!!!</p> <p>Off to bed now so the 5.30am alarm doesn't hurt tooooo much LOL</p> <p>Oh have we heard from Megan - is she still coming?</p> <p>We have<br /> Me<br /> Tam<br /> Tara<br /> Karen<br /> Kirstie<br /> Sharon</p> <p>is that right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown/page/2#post-228373 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 02:37:52 +0000 Katiepea 228373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I'm so uber excited too about our catch up too. I can't believe it is only one more sleep. </p> <p>I can't wait to meet you all and help you spend your money on gorgeous clothes and accessories! (&lt;Tee-hee!&gt; I think I will have to live vicariously through you all, because I just received my credit card statement and am currently picking myself up from off the floor.) </p> <p>I think the shops are open somewhere between 4 and 5pm in the city on a Saturday - I think it really depends on the store, so that should fit in well with your flight plans.</p> <p>At the moment it is very grey and drizzly and I am comfortably wearing jeans. </p> <p>Have a safe and on time flight tomorrow morning girls!<br /> x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-228351 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 01:54:10 +0000 Theresa 228351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh Karen - that will be handy!!</p> <p>KP &amp; Sharon - yes, families are so much fun at times aren't they LOL!!</p> <p>As for Itinerary, I'm thinking along these lines...</p> <p>11am - meet outside Coffee Club for sustenance<br /> 12noon+ shopping LOL </p> <p>From memory of the mall, I think heading straight to the myer centre will probably be the best bet because there is a Myer (obviously!), as well as lots of speciality stores in one complex - and I would imagine we could be there for a fairly long time so KP you should be able to find us! Then we could venture further down the mall towards DJ's as the afternoon progresses.</p> <p>I have to be at the airport to catch my flight home by 6pm so I'm figuring I will have to leave by 5.30 at the latest (what time do the shops close on a Saturday - does anyone know?)</p> <p>And besides bursting into tears when I meet you all, don't be surprised if I am in total awe of all the shops LOL This is my closest Myer store and it was only last year that our regular shopping centre expanded to include more than just Big W, KMart and the main two jeans shops ROFL - so I'm very "great shops" deprived!</p> <p>Oh and Tara - Powderfinger were AWESOME!!! 2 of the Jet boys were vomiting though, so Jet didn't perform (and I was actually looking forward to them the most!), so Powderfinger just played longer for us! So, I just hope Jet are well enough for you tomorrow night! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-228280 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:34:05 +0000 puffenstuff 228280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had to share that I just got a $30 Coles/Myer gift card from work so that might come in handy tomorrow. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-227816 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 11:02:42 +0000 puffenstuff 227816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coffee Club sounds great - as long as we all know where to meet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-227774 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 06:41:39 +0000 Sharon 227774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. Ab-Fab - surely everyone will want to be Patsy? Who's bringing the Bolly, darling?<br /> So pleased you are coming, Tam. I thought we were meeting at the Coffee Club, or at least outside it, so we have a landmark to go to. We should definitely have a coffee and a gossip before we shop!<br /> Theresa, don't worry - I have won the "Nuttiest Family" contest for 5 consecutive years, although my husband may just win this year. I will certainly not think you are mad if you vent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-227719 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:07:12 +0000 Katiepea 227719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I just had to add that my poor hubby is slightly confused because he keeps calling our get together the "AB FAB" reunion. I giggle and wonder which character that would make me. Ah, poor confused poppet..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-227717 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:03:42 +0000 Katiepea 227717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you poor thing Theresa. I get where you are coming from. I'm still utterly exhausted after the wedding - it wasn't until this morning that I realised I am most likely so tired because I'm emotionally drained.</p> <p>Don't worry, I know for one, that I will completely and utterly understand and I'm sure we all will - we can trade off on "my family is worse than yours because...." type stories. I have some really good ones........ In fact, I say to my SIL's when talking about my brother(s)/their husband(s) and the stoopid things they do/have done that "I had no choice because we are related, but you have no excuse - you chose him.....!" </p> <p>Do you guys have any idea where you will be around 1pm(ish)? Pretty please say "somewhere around the Queen Street Mall / Myer centre", because then I can find you without freaking out! </p> <p>What time do you fly back in the evening? I'm trying to work out what time I should tell my hubby to come and pick me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-227514 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:06:51 +0000 Theresa 227514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Morning Ladies!!! </p> <p>Tam I'm so super excited that you are coming too!!!! My flight gets in at 8.45am... But I'll be leaving my house at 5.30am to get up to the airport in time, so despite not usually drinking coffee, I will no doubt have my fair share too LOL</p> <p>Are we meeting at the Myer or the Coffee Club so we can grab a bite to eat (and coffee!!) first? Coffee Club is on corner of George St and Queen Street</p> <p><a href="http://www.queenstreetmall.com/Docs/QSM%20Map%20new%202008.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.queenstreetmall.com.....202008.pdf</a></p> <p>Camera's - I shall have mine - it does actually take surprisingly good photo's for a bargain buy I've discovered! (I got it for $88 because the upgraded model had been released - the week before it was selling for $250+ apparently LOL).</p> <p>Oh and can I just say how proud I am of my laptop for staying alive for this week!!!!</p> <p>I just have to add... I've had a rather testing week with "family", so please don't be surprised if I burst into tears meeting you girls - i am really looking forward to spending the day with people who I consider "friends" and relaxing after this week!! (just thought I'd warn you so you don't all think I'm some nutter who bursts into tears all the time ROFL) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aussie-ylf-gathering-5-day-countdown#post-227487 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:38:49 +0000 puffenstuff 227487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep I think that's right Tara - are you bringing your camera too? </p>
