Chloe

In a surprisingly decent issue of Vogue Australia for February (although really dislike paying a few dollars extra for a cheap and ugly tote, that looks almost identical to the other 8 Ive gotten from vogue over the years) I was reminded how much I adored Chloe in its Pheobe Philo days.

The article, even though its copied directly from US Vogue, was really great. Times like these make me wish I had my old computer which had almost every piece from every one of Pheobe's Chloe years saved on it from style.com. So here are a few nostalgic favourites Ive found this morning.

Mmmmm new Ad Campaigns.

Always more exciting when you see them on the glossy pages, but until the Australian magazines catch up with the rest of the world.

Chanel

Givenchy

Gucci

YSL

Versace

Prada

Gianfranco Ferre

Doll Parts

Its rare that I save every single photo from an editorial. But I just love thins

Its also rare that blogger would ever let me upload an entire editorial.

So here is a selection.

Problems with waking up early

By 10am this morning I had already washed and hung 2 loads of washing, done dishes (plus dried them and put them away), bleached and mopped my kitchen floor, made the bed, cooked chicken and rice and brushed the puppy...

In the last 2 hours since all these things were completed I have struggled with my shitty internet connection to try to find new and inspiring pictures for blogging. My internet is slowing down my entire life, I couldve done SO much much in the last 2 hours. This post shouldve taken 30 seconds then I wouldve been on to something more productive (or I at least wouldve found something else to clean!)

Using a set of pictures I found a while ago...

I like the colours. I like Bianca Balti's body.

Failure

Its been 5 days...

Generally 2010 already sucks.

Im already lying and keeping secrets.

Im still useless and cant look after myself.

Still losing hope everyday... just when I thought there was none left to lose.

And all I can do is publicly vent my angst like a stupid emo teenager craving attention.

Just so everyone knows, I DONT WANT ATTENTION.

I just want things to change.

Reflections

My girls in a bathtub with hotel linen

The 2 girls that are have been there from the beginning.

Notte:" Gansta's dont sleep"

The Boys (The Boyfriend, The Son and The Brother)

The princess and the Fox.

The Girls

The Girls II

The girl you've know and trusted for a lifetime.

The Maximillian (cos you've never heard a name so cool)

The Alternate who always tells you how it is.

I just remembered...

As midnight on ticked over on NYE I looked around the room and every single person I had not known that time a year ago. It was very surreal to look at all the incredible people I have brought into my life in the last year alone, possibly some of the truest friends I've ever had.

I have had a year full of new experiences, loose and messy nights, and building friendships that I believe could last a life time. I have no regrets.

This year will be focused on growing up a bit and focusing on the future rather than the weekend, but 2009 and its roller-coaster of emotions will always have a special place.

P.S This post has taken me 3 days to upload... Blogger hates me.

January 2nd

After being completely off this planet for the first day of 2010, I thought January 2nd to be an appropriate time to start the painful resolution process.

Get a Job.

Spend more quality time with my friends (getting loose on the weekends does not count!)

Save money.

Start studying again.

Im sure there are many more emotional and personal growth kind of resolutions that need to be made as well. But for today I focus on the more practical ones.

Also next time I consider going to a festival can someone just rent me their backyard and give me a lounge chair, seeings as I stayed in the one place all day and barely saw anyone?
