The adventures of a friday afternoon in the city!

The Freebies- SK II Aqua Physics trial and Clinique Long last Glosswear SPF 15+

SK II Aqua Physics trial

Ok ok this isn't directly fashion related, more beauty but nevertheless an interesting story.

This afternoon my friend L and I decided to treat ourselves after a long and perilous week (not that it'll be letting up anytime soon). We went into David Jones armed and dangerous with our freebies coupons, torn from our favourite magazines. The first, a SK II trial offer for their latest ingenious product created for 'younger skin' called 'Aqua Physics' -I wonder if physics students get to study this stuff?- which was as expected -since it is SK II- so luxurious and silky smooth on our skin; designed to lock in and retain moist supple skin via its active ingredient, Pitera (that could be some African disease for all I know, but who cares, it works). Mind you, if you happen to have about $180 for the two products, sure, go right ahead and buy it, I on the other hand am trying to save my pennies for the next rainy day.

The next on our list of counters to hit was the one with the pretty ladies in little white lab coats (so chic) that goes by the name of Clinique. At first we were supplied with the devastating news that they'd run out of our promised lip glosses, but never losing the faith we found the ladies at the MYER counter were mighty helpful as they on the other hand had not. So L and I received our cute little samples that surprisingly weren't that little. Although they were in a less desirable shade of brown the straight forward packages provided quite a punch of sparkles on the lips which was actually subtlety effective!!!!

Excited by our experience we vowed to do this again as soon as the next round of magazines arrived at our doorsteps and on the news stands. Proud of our purchases provided at no expense and with a little initiative, we both went home all smiley and with a hint of sparkle in our eye and on the lip!

OMFG PATRICIA FIELD IS COMING TO BRISBANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any fashionista worth her Manalo's would know that Patricia Field is the goddess and personification of Style! Her outrageously red hair and uncanny fashion style can be seen from a mile away but if you are in brisbane on the 24th of May (Saturday week) you better get your true religion clad ass down to Myer (in the city) to get a glimpse of the New York stylist in action in the stores display window. Patricia is the genius behind the up and coming Sex and the City Movie which will be in cinemas on the 5th of May and was also behind the hugely popular television series. She is also styling the book-come-movie, Confessions of a Shopoholic and was the stylist behind the wardrobe in the American TV series, Cashmere Mafia. Notice a trend yet? All of these movies and shows are largely based around the clothes.....der. I mean if I was making a movie about fashion, Patricia is basically the only girl I'd trust because after all she is the woman that's made New York fashion the way it is today because that's her territory!!!

Hope to see you all there, but just make sure its not my toe that your stepping on to catch a glimpse of this fashion God!!!

Love Always xoxo

S.A.A.'s Favourite Supermodel in Fashion Giant Squeeze! - Miranda Kerr

Breaking News today with our Golden Girl Miranda Kerr is that the soon to be David Jones ambassador was discovered by arch rival MYER to have appeared in a couple of the stores catalogues and runway shows in Ms Kerr's early days before she made it big with underwear giant Victoria's Secret and other lucrative brands. A 'very young looking' Miranda was found in 'several [Myer] catalogues in 2002 and 2003' two years before her shoot to stardom. This recent shock discovery left a poor DJ's spokeswoman with nothing more than a melancholy, no comment.

Love Always xoxo
