fifteen hundred...

kind of exciting, since i started my blog, i have had 1500 visitors, which in the grand scheme of things isn't that many, but it is exciting all the same... keep on visiting world...

and in other news... despite her tongue attack on france, that stalled her international career, just a matter of weeks ago, cassi van den dungen is making her presence felt at l'oreal melbourne fashion festival this week. according to the herald sun, she has booked 5 shows this week and has been on her best behaviour. congratulations cassi, you look stunning, and hopefully later down the track, you can try paris again, because seeing this picture, you completely look the part.

reminiscing...

trolling youtube, and found this... gwen stefani's video clip for 'what you waitin' for?' oh the memories, we used to play this song on repeat during textiles back in year 11. even though music and fashion has always gone kind-of hand-in-hand, this is my first real acknowledgement of that collabaration. this music video kind of spurred my now, near obsession with all things high-fashion. thank-you gwen, thank-you john.

...and the rest

here are the rest of my presents...

from my sister, 'saw VI' and 'the black dress' by valerie steele, fashion historian, curator and director of the museum at the fashion institute of technology in new york. can't wait to emmerse myself in this little baby

and from my parents, 'kevin mc cloud's grand tour of europe,' love his work, addicted to 'grand designs' so this should be a treat. and 'harper's bazaar fabulous at every age' a guide to looking chic, for women in their 20's to her 70's, a great resource, which blends on-trend fashions with practical everyday dressing for smart women.

all in all i think i did quite well...

let me eat cake, mr armani...

just opened up my prezzies, and got THIS, the emporio armani watch i blogged about back in december. my parents were kind enough to purchase it for me. oh the joys of having a watch again, i had forgotten how reassuring it is to instantly be able to know the time. and plus to tell it on such a pretty watch, thank you mr. armani...
