When Capitalism is masked as Frugality, Jewellery project and another sample down

Recently this article was marketed as a Frugality article: http://www.news.com.au/money/money-matters/frugal-is-the-future-look-for-fashion-followers/story-e6frfmd9-1226159933527.  Quite clearly this is an advertisment for the launch of a new Kmart range.  And in fact the blogger they feature Penny Chic blogs about Walmart fashion (American Kmart). Penny Chic's blog is actually really good and is a brilliant example of smart advertising in todays social networking environment.  I had actually thought Kmart had improved their shoe range recently to start matching Targets good range.

Today's Jewellery:

These black and gold bracelets are from Sportsgirl.  Cant remember how mcuh they cost.  I also wore a my gold watch and hoops but I am not including them in the project as they are investment pieces.









10 pan project sample project - two down:

This is a sample of Mariah Carey's perfume, at first I liked it because it was so different to my normal perfumes.  By half way through I couldnt stand the floral overtones and gave up on this.  Lucky it was free!

Gorgeous Singlets and ten pan project sample style

Today I visited the Handmade Markets, mainly because I knew that Erin Louise was going to have a stall there and I wanted to check out her awesome singlets. The markets were really good, I got to try a macaroon (finally) which was delicious, and there were some gorgeous stuff there.  I also picked up two of Erin Louise's singlets - there were so many to choose from, but I just go these two ($60 for both):

I have decided to expand the ten pan project and separate them as well - so now I have the ten pan project for Samples.  I love freebies so collect samples all the time, I am always surprised when I share where to get samples from and people are not interested - maybe they dont want to end up with drawers full like me!  For example recently I got about 6 samples from magazines for Sunsilks new 'Teddy Charles' range, if you havent seen the tv ad for this you should youtube it, it is so funny like Zoolander but they are being serious lol.  Anyway I have used two of these now, but I will only count this one since I just started the countdown.  So one sample down, 9 to go!

This product is actually quite good and I would recommend it.  I got two uses out of this sample.
