I was contacted by the lovely Lauren at Aussie Hair about a treasure hunt in Birmingham (one of several up and down the country) as part of their Project Angel campaign. This took place yesterday and I was quite excited when I received my clue and my key in the post...
However it wasn't quite as straight forward as I thought! I jumped to the conclusion that Victoria is in the south of Australia and we have a landmark in Birmingham called Victoria Square. My friend, Rachel and I ended up in Victoria Square in Birmingham and were quite confused at the RAF event that had taken over the square.
So with the help of Lauren, the Internet at the Apple shop and Internet on our phones, we finally located the goodies (and the lovely Lauren herself) which was in a decidedly, strange part of town. We ended up in an untrodden, industrial area which was a little far out of our comfort zone. However, the goodies were worth it and me and Rachel happily marched back into town with the treasure!

Woo hoo!
Inside the box (which smells like the trademark bubblegum scent of Aussie hair products-yum!) were lots of free Aussie hair products, a gift voucher for spa treatment and a Topshop giftcard! Everything smells so good! I use Aussie Mega Shampoo and 3 minute miracle products already so I know that these goodies will be amazing. So thank you soo much Aussie and Lauren for the treasure!
It was hungry work so Rachel and I posed for some outfit pics before we headed back for some well deserved lunch!
Sweater (AA) Skirt (Topshop) Tights (Topshop) Shoes (Converse)
Mixed Jewellery (Aldo, Accessorize, Vintage, Black Pearl)
Rachel made me do a star jump but the skirt was a little restricting!
Leather Jacket (All Saints) Hoody (Hollister) Tee (F21) Jeans, Boots (River Island) Bag (Primark) Beanie (H&M)
Rachel recently went to Korea for a study trip and one of the things she came back with was this cute Forever 21 tee, It's so random and says 'I look Ridonculous' and lets face it, we all need a silly t-shirt in our lives.
Yum! Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
Sounds really good and that shampoo has the nicest smell ever!

ReplyDeleteI've never used Aussie hair products. Maybe I should start since I'm here. The climate is so humid that my hair looks flat all the time. Maybe some Aussie products will help.
