...curse of the glossies...

... anyone who anything about me would definitely tell you I tend to be slightly obsessed with fashion magazines... while I do have my favourites - Vogue Australia, Shop Till You Drop, Industrie - I am drawn to new, glossy covers and will often purchase quite a few more, depending on the cover star and the headlines...

This month (December), I picked up Marie Claire , which I never buy, just to read the article about SPJ!

I used to subcribe to InStyle, but felt I needed to cut back... Still a FABULOUS magazine, and this month is no exception with the gorgeous SJP gracing yet another cover...

...I am proud to say I own every single copy of Shop Till You Drop and it remains my favourite for the fact that it is all about shopping - high end, low end and everything in between! Plenty of shoes, bags & dresses plus hair and beauty info, a great lifestyle section and not too many articles! Not a fan of the cover, but, oh well...

... I am also a huge fan of Madison as it has the perfect mix of fashion, shopping and beauty as well as great music/books/movies reviews, celeb and real life stories... This month, I couldn't go pass the gorgeous cover AND the bonus Butter London polish...!

...Vogue Australia is the other title I subscribe to and the perfect read for all fashion lovers out there... Beautiful pictures, relevant articles, gorgeous models and the best of the best of high end shoes, bags and dresses a girl could wish for! This month was slightly hit and miss ( I felt) as I flicked through way too many pages of advertising, average gift ideas and more advertising before I got to the stunning editorials at the back... Not my first choice for a December cover star, Isabel Lucas sure does look amazing!

...Even though the bonus cards and pretty cover tempted me, I managed to hold back on this month's Bazaar... With the winner of the lastest ANTM on the cover, it nearly got me, but I thinking Miss S can send her's over for me to have a flick through... (hint hint)

...adore this cover of W magazine - the gorgeous Fanning girls also made an appearance in Vogue Australia's October issue, so I got my fix then...!

...hoping to pick up this special edition of US Vogue next week ! LOVE the cover stars - Mary Kate & Ashley and looks like it should be a fab issue!

Nuffnang Competition: Join Sarah Jessica Parker at the I Don’t Know How She Does It Australian Premier!!!

My gorgeous friend Miss S alerted me to this fab competition that I JUST had to enter! You can read all about it HERE.... Basically I had to write about what outfit one would wear if they were to attend SJP's latest film premiere "I Don't Know How She Does It" . Now when I first saw the preview, I think I screamed, as I love the book and definitely love Sarah Jessica Parker! Fingers crossed my entry is one of the lucky ones chosen...!!

What outfit you’d wear to meet SJP and why!

I have turned to Polyvore to help me pick an outfit for the Melbourne Premier of “I Don’t Know How She Does It”. Option 1 is my dream outfit – YSL, Mui Mui and Preen- surely that would be acceptable both for the red carpet and for the well heeled fashion icon!

Option 2 is made up of items (or similar) I own, and would happily wear if I was lucky enough to be chosen to attend this fabulous event!

For both outfits, I have picked the shoes first and worked up, something I do quite often and also something I’m sure SJP’s alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw is all too familiar with! Fabulous shoes and accessories make an outfit in my opinion, and are often more fun to choose or throw on when you are walking out the door.

For both options, I have mixed brights with great basics and fabulous accessories. Colour blocking is a huge trend at the moment and something that most of can shop of own wardrobes for. Mixing blues with greens, pinks with oranges and everything in between! For those you a little less brave, there are countless eye popping nail polishes, rings, bangles and clutches that can brighten anyones’ outfit!

So, to summarize, I would wear a fabulous outfit of brights, my favourite shoes and some accessories to tie it all together!

How do you manage to juggle your life while still looking amazing and the funny side of it all!

The key to look amazing at all times is to use every moment you have! When you are falling asleep at night, start thinking about what is clean and ironed and what you can wear tomorrow. Think about if you have any important meetings (there goes the slightly low cut pink shirt option), lunch dates (walking-friendly shoes) or after work events (pack the bronzer and a smaller clutch). When you hit snooze in the morning, try to remember the last time you washed your hair and if you can’t, if you still have some dry shampoo left. Listen for rain and pray that you didn’t leave your umbrella on the train. When you eventually get up, go through your outfit and where all the bits and pieces are while you are in the shower, or putting your makeup on. Throw all your accessories for the day in a makeup bag in your handbag and put them on while you are on the train or waiting for the cute coffee guy to make your coffee. But if all that fails (and we all know it does!) reach for that fail safe outfit – that outfit that can work all year round and never goes out of style , that looks great and most of all, makes you feel fabulous!
