💸 Luxe for Less: The Most Affordable Items from Chanel, Cartier & Gucci Available in Australia

Let’s be real — most of us dream of owning something from the world’s most iconic luxury houses, but the price tags can make our bank accounts flinch. The good news? You can still own a little piece of fashion history without spending thousands. I’ve done the digging for you and found the cheapest items currently available from Chanel, Cartier, and Gucci — all either shoppable from Australia or via international shipping.

A Sweet Duo Worth Savoring: Classic Tiramisu Yogurt & Blackberry Apple Pie

A Sweet Duo Worth Savoring: Classic Tiramisu Yogurt & Blackberry Apple Pie

If you’re a dessert lover on the hunt for indulgent, ready-to-enjoy treats, this combo will hit the spot. Today I’m sharing two delicious finds that turned an ordinary day into a delightful one: Gippsland Dairy’s Classic Tiramisu Yogurt and Sara Lee’s Blackberry & Apple Pie. Rich, nostalgic, and incredibly satisfying—these are pantry and fridge staples in my home now.

🥄 Gippsland Dairy Crafted Yogurt – Classic Tiramisu

This extra thick yogurt is inspired by the flavours of traditional tiramisu. Imagine smooth vanilla bean yogurt swirled with bold espresso and hints of cocoa. It’s creamy, decadent, and feels like a dessert from your favourite café.

🛒 Where to buy: Available at most major Australian supermarkets including:

• Woolworths
• Coles
• IGA

Look for it in the fridge section near gourmet or premium yogurts.

🥧 Sara Lee Blackberry & Apple Pie

A beautiful lattice crust filled with sweet, tart blackberry and juicy apple—this pie is pure comfort food. It bakes beautifully golden and pairs perfectly with cream, ice cream, or even the tiramisu yogurt!

🛒 Where to buy:

• Woolworths (freezer section)
• Coles (frozen desserts aisle)
• Independent grocers

You can find this under Sara Lee’s Frozen Bakery Desserts range. Just heat and serve!

Why I Love This Pairing

There’s something luxurious about combining a fresh, warm fruit pie with a chilled, espresso-laced yogurt. It’s the perfect mix of tart, creamy, sweet, and rich—without needing to bake from scratch.

💅 Press-On Perfection: Bold Green Glam with a Twist

💅 Press-On Perfection: Bold Green Glam with a Twist

This week’s press-on set is giving fierce, fresh, and a little bit wild – and I’m obsessed.

I went with a rich, glossy green as the primary colour across most nails, perfectly shaped into a sleek almond tip. But the real standout? The accent nails.

On one hand, we’ve got a playful cow print twist bordered in that same bold green for a cohesive but unexpected pop. The contrast of the nude base with the monochrome pattern adds a cheeky edge without going over the top. The curved green detailing pulls it all together with a polished finish.

It’s giving vibrant farm-core meets street-chic – in the best way.

Whether I’m out running errands or catching up with friends, these nails have been getting compliments everywhere. Press-ons really are the best little secret: zero salon time, all the style.
