Magazine(s) Of the Month: Vogue vs. Miss Vogue

Enjoying Miss Vogue like a fifteen year old teenager (again!). Add ten years & a well leafed through Miss Vogue and I go for Miss Vogue's older sister, Vogue, with Kate Moss on the cover.

Then back again to Miss Vogue . . . 

It's back to the future with Vogue and Miss Vogue for June.

My favourite Vogue feature: 'How We Dress Now'.

My favourite Miss Vogue feature: 'Saturday Night Fever'.

Spring Clothes

I'm in the midst of a wardrobe Spring clean. It has become clear as a nice fresh day that I am a hoarder. I keep everything, including dust. Clothes are still accessorized with their tags. Like many people, I hoard old issues of magazines. That's not hoarding, though, it can be called archiving too. A lot of clothes are after getting the boot. No more shopping for me. Not for a long time.

Instead, I am concentrating on the items that I cherish. I will not be known as the old woman who lived in a shoe. I will be the old women wearing faux fur, accessorized with tulle, anklet bracelets, denim shirts, lace skirts, cowboy hats. All whilst reading old issues of Vogue and Elle. The old woman living in a lot of junk. Sounds about right to me.

P.S. Current obsession: denim+lace. What's yours?

If you hoard/archive magazines like me, where do you keep them? I am curious to know. Half my wardrobe space is dedicated to them!

Mugshot Monday-Gwyneth vs My Republic

Technology has not been on my side this weekend. My camera has decided not to work, so this week's Mugshot Monday is quite old. Nearly six years old, in fact! This photo of me was taken when I was 17 years old (a baby). It was shot in October 2005 and I will never forget the similarity of December's Vogue (UK, 2005) cover shot with my photo. The pose is a little similar, don't you think?

The only question is: Do you prefer Gwyneth Paltrow's smile or my moody-esque glare? Hopefully, my camera will be up and running this week, so a 'proper' Mugshot will be on its way next week.

Did everyone have a great weekend?
