St. John’s campaign for a younger, fresher look started last fall with Gisele Bundchen. Angelina Jolie (photographed by the same photographer as Gisele’s campaign) adds an ethereal touch to St. John’s symbolic evolution.
These are 2 out of 4 shots of Angelina for this season’s campaign. Notice something missing? The shot is without St. John’s usual entourage of male models. A nice turn for St. John, methinks.
I was searching for some skincare items online today… okay actually I was trying to see if I could find a discount code for any online store that carries Cle de Peau. (Because of my freak obsessions of having all my skincare items "match") Anyhow, I ran into this link on Saks.com:
Complimentary La Prarie Cellular Nurturing System Deluxe Sample with any Saks.com purchase. Coupon Code: LAPRAIRIE, Expires Jan 17, 2006 or while supplies last.
FREE is always good! Too bad Saks.com doesn’t carry Cle de Peau. They did, however, carry SK-II. I am in bad need of a foaming cleanser. (3 months with Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil will do that to you) So I decided to pick up SK-II’s Facial Treatment Cleanser. I don’t know that much about it… I’ve been recommended this line countless times and the line "fine, rich lather" got me. :)
For those of you who aren’t into La Prairie, Saks.com has another secret code. I call it secret because they don’t tell you the code until you try to checkout. Just for TODAY, JANUARY 12 2006, when you buy from Saks.com or from Saks Fifth Avenue stores you will get about 10% back in the form of a Free Giftcard. So if you spend $250, you will get a $25 gift card. If you spend $500, you will get a $50 gift card. There are several tiers so check it out. The code for Saks.com is JANUARY5B (Enter at checkout)
Enjoy!
Things to look forward to this Spring/Summer
Collecting miniatures: micro-clutches and tiny totes in exotic skins. (Prada, Hermes & Marc Jacobs)
Chanel combines a soft leatherboot with a summer-ready thong.
Phoebe Philo’s last collection at Chloe.
Rope details carried over from last year’s Cruise Collections. (Prada)
Best-selling shapes are renewed with a certain casual chic. (Dior)
Old favorites are adorned with leather cut-outs. (Fendi Spy Bag with Wisteria details)
Here’s a list of some of the gifts I got for Christmas this year (In no particular order) :)
Trio of pill cases from Coach… very compact & convenient.
Yes I am a CSI addict. It is one of my many guilty pleasures. My other one is Passions. :(
Motorola H500 bluetooth headset for my cell phone, in baby blue!
I love this set of Apple hair products by Frederic Fekkai! I use it at least once a week. Well I mix around with my Kerastase & Ojon (see below), not that I only shampoo once a week. :D
My friend saw this Juicy Couture igloo charm on my blog earlier this year and got it for me… how thoughtful!
My sister got me this Cle de Peau Gentle Protective lotion. I love it! I definitely see a difference in my skin already… kind of a supple thickness. I can’t wait to run out of my Shu Uemura, so I can try their foaming cleanser & clarifying toner! (I’m sick of rubbing my face with Shu Oil)
A small Benefit cosmetic bag & the perfect wear-with-anything lipgloss.
My sisters got me these 1.48 carat pink sapphire studs set on white gold from Saks Fifth Avenue. I haven’t taken them off since Christmas!
"The People of Beautiful Hair" Ojon hair products are one of Oprah’s favorite things and have generated a lot of praise lately. I got the shampoo-conditioner-hair restorer set… can’t wait to try it tonight!
A rhodium-plated silver crystal gift from Swarovski.
Louis Vuitton Small Ring Koala Agenda with pink lining.
VS pj set with matching slippers & carrying bag.
Sudoku! My other guilty pleasure.
Panerai 40mm Luminor Power Reserve. :D :D
Also not pictured are a Chanel Tumbled Lambskin handbag, set of bronze beaded bracelets, a chunky necklace, pink leather thong sandals, pink shearling slippers, desk calendar, Best Buy gift card, Saks 5th gift card track jacket from Urban Outfitters, Frommer’s Guide to Hawaii and a lot of CHOCOLATE!
I will add more as I remember them. It’s been a couple of weeks so Christmas is a bit fuzzy. ~.~
Now here’s a list of things I -didn’t get- but were on my wishlist. I’m going to slowly hunt down each of these things this month =)
Alexander McQueen scarf in blue/white combo.
Guerlain multi-effect bronzing powder.
Shu Uemura face brush.
Chanel Aviatorspirit sunglasses in silver (S/S 2006).
Chanel 2.55 Reissue in Grey
William Rast ‘Showdown’ jeans in Smoke.
Gucci horsebit scarf in light blue to update my blue Guccissima hobo for Spring.
I’m preparing a Christmas Gift post (with pictures!) with all of the gifts I received this year… it’s taking a bit longer than I thought. (You know, with the picture-taking, cropping and, well… remembering) So I thought in the meantime we could all share what our favorite gifts were this year, as well as our worst!
You start!
