I like to Time Travel...

Last night I was looking for something inspiring to read and because the majority of my reading books are all either chick-lits or thrillers (chick-lits...definitely not inspirational, more like depression central), I decided to root out some of my old magazines. When I say root, what I mean is that I went to the shelf in my wardrobe where they are stored and took some down.

Whenever someone says root, I always have an image in my mind of someone rooting for something that they shouldn't be rooting for. Like, for example rooting in my mothers jewellery box was something that I shouldn't have done when I was a child, but I still did it. Its because I was a brat child and I thought that rooting through my mother's possessions was living on the edge. Woahhh!

I really should use words other than root, like 'find' or 'happen to come across'. Because not only am I confusing myself, but I am more than likely confusing you with all my gibberish. Apologies!

Anyway, I came across one of my favourite Vogue UK magazine's...the December 2006 Issue. Their 90th birthday Issue.

I love the way this issue goes back in time. I love the insights from old, old Vogue Issues (apparently, boot polish was used as mascara because of make-up shortages during World War II. Don't think I'll be trying that any time soon). I love the editorials in this Issue...you get the idea, that I love this issue!

Have you read it?

I also came across this puzzle thing...who are you? I took the test and I am Louis Vuitton. I would have preferred to have been Chanel...but hey, I was honest whilst doing it. Its more than likely not accurate, but it is a bit of fun!

Who are you?

Just click to enlarge it.



Whilst 'rooting' I also found a student style sheet guide, I wrote years and years ago. Apparently, a pair of €100 heels fit perfectly into the student budget. Ha, ya right! Don't ask me what I was thinking.

I spent all day outside in the sun yesterday, so I might just do the same thing today. There is nothing like a bit of laziness! Have a great Saturday.
