fashion acronyms

PPW (price per wear) is one that I'm sure many of you have referred to when deliberating on whether you should purchase that ridiculously overpriced item. You will have a mini debate in your head and try to reason with the state of your finances - should I really splurge a week/months pay on this? It's only $x per wear if I use it x amount of times... you know the drill. And usually, your finances lose. 

While I was browsing through Prada the other night, I saw that they had my wallet in this gorgeous nude pink, with tonal interior, which is sooo much prettier than my pewter colourway. While I thought about the possibility of upgrading my wallet after 1.5 years (which is still in good condition, with a few scuffs), I thought about it's PPW. It works out to  be $1.06 per use (since I use it everyday) - which sounds totally affordable, no? And it will only get cheaper!

TBH, there are still items in my wardrobe where the PPW is still 100% of its purchase price. Those, are what leaves me with buyers remorse even though they were only a tiny fraction of the price of a Prada wallet.

it's no Miranda, but it will suffice

So in lieu of Miranda Kerr's absence from the David Jones S10 launch, the following models will be filling her size 6 shoes; Abbey Lee Kershaw, Catherine McNeil, Nicole Trunfio and Alexandra Agoston. At least they managed to squeeze in one Victoria's Secret model! The briefing is tomorrow afternoon - I hope I get a role that's backstage, tho I highly doubt it.

Cannot wait until this hits stands. I love Alessandra, and I love RUSSH - what's more to say?

skorts - my summer essential

Skirt + Short = Skort.

I cannot wait until I can frolic in the sunshine in these! In the meanwhile, I shall layer with a pair of awesome $3 opaques.

miranda, estee and tobi to finish off another week

As you are probably all aware, Miranda and Orlando are married and possibly with child. She's pulled out of the David Jones S10 launch on the 3rd of August, which was one of the main reasons I had volunteered to help with the event - so I could watch her walk the runway. I guess I will have to settle with Megan. 

After much deliberation, I gave in to the Estee Lauder GWP. It's rather good value, where you're able to pick and choose products that best suit you.

I bought the Idealist Dual-Action refinishing treatment - which is an exfoliator and deep pore cleansing mask in one. It has a heating sensation upon application which opens your pores to flush out all the dirt - including blackheads. The verdict; the warming sensation is quite pleasant and left my skin rather smooth and slightly more radiant. My blackheads also seem lighter, so perhaps with a few more applications, they will be gone. This is a considerably good result seeing as I've never paid much attention to skin care prior to this.

Here's what I picked out for my freebies;

L-R; Idealist Dual-Action refinishing treatment, Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher, Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Creme, Pure Colour Lipstick in Crystal Baby, High Gloss in Honey, Double Wear Mascara and Pure Colour eyeshadow and Signature Silky Powder Blush pallet.

Last but not least, I love my Tobi. Steamers are a lifesaver when it comes to crumpled silks.

Have a great weekend!!

good thinking, gaga

Only the rich and famous can afford a DIY like this...

Giving the boring Birkin a new lease on life. Love it.
