...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!

new wrist wear love...

While flipping through some Shop Til You Drop magazines this morning, I came across a full page ad for these awesome looking, Hermes-style cuffs...

Jumping onto the website, I found out they came in 3 different sizes, basically to do with the width of the cuff...

I'm not a fan of the thickest one (called"Orsini") but I LOVE the mid sized one as well as the skinny one:





Apologies for the small photos above, they are just to show the Beige colour I have decided would work best with what I tend to wear...

At only $149.95 and $129.95 ,these babies are a steal, considering they are made from stainless steel and Italian leather!

There are no Victoria stockists at the moment, but you can buy them on their website right


Do you love them like I do...?
Which colour would you choose...?

Thanks to Dimacci website for the photos...

industrie mag....


I finally got around to picking up a copy of Industrie magazine yesterday... I had heard great things about it, mostly through Twitter and a few blogs, so decided it was worth a look...

I love it.

Firstly, it is quite large in size and taller than your average magazine. The pages are half glossy, half paper-y, some are colour and some are black and white...

Their website describe it as:

INDUSTRIE IS THE FIRST AND ONLY MEDIA TITLE DEDICATED TO PRESENTING AN INDEPENDENT, IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE FASHION INDUSTRY, GOING BEHIND THE SCENES TO CHRONICLE THE PERSONALITIES, STORIES AND DEFINING MOMENTS IN THE WORLD OF FASHION.

FOUNDED IN 2009 BY ERIK TORSTENSSON AND JENS GREDE, OF THE SATURDAY-GROUP, INDUSTRIE AIMS TO SHIFT FOCUS AWAY FROM CURRENT COLLECTIONS AND TRENDS AND PROVIDE A CONSIDERED INSIGHT INTO THE CULTURE OF FASHION. INDUSTRIE DOCUMENTS THE INDIVIDUALS WHO INFLUENCE FASHION AND CRITICALLY EXAMINES THE IDEAS WHICH SHAPE IT.

INDUSTRIE IS PUBLISHED TWICE A YEAR, DISTRIBUTED INTERNATIONALLY BY COMAG AND UPDATED CONTINUALLY ON INDUSTRIEMAGAZINE.COM

Highlights for me include an interview with Tommy Ton, of Jak & Jil fame and "The Lure of Louboutin" story plus accompanying glossy snaps...
I also adore the the "Dream Dinner Guests "pages... a future blog post perhaps...?

I definitely recommend you pick up a copy if you get the chance...

Thanks to Industrie for the pic too...
