Well spent $50

On friday my mum had to do overtime at work, my dad was at a company meeting and I was abandoned in the middle of Melbourne city at about 8:00pm, a lot of the small (ish) boutiques that I frequent were closed and after my unsuccessful trip to the big department stores I was hugely disappointed with commercial Australian fashion (that I could afford) and was not about to visit the memory again (plus I was in school uniform), so I went my merry way to Borders! I was again disappointed by Australia Vogue and Harper’s, so I started flicking through Vogue Paris and Vogue Nippon; none of which I could understand so I put them back and bought an overpriced latte, on my way back to the ‘international magazines’ section of Borders I spotted ‘it’: Vogue Collections Printemps-Ete 2009!

It has officially replaced my last copy of Vogue Collections magazine as my most prized possession made out of paper. I really don’t care for the people who say “$44.95?  On a magazine? Did it come with anything else? No? What’s wrong with you?” but I am liking the sneaky peeks from fellow fashion obsessed train commuters.

My new idol: Melanie Huynh

She just oozes style and chic-ness. I first got a glimpse of her on my friend Lisa’s myspace, and it wasn’t until last night when I had a thoroughread of my September French Vogue that I discovered her name was Melanie and she worked as a junior fashion editor there,I was immediatelydrawn to her style (not to mention she’s always with Carine and absorbing her goodness) and started googling her. It wasn’t long until I was reading her thread on TFS, and I did that until 1am. I am now obsessed with her and her killer legs, and now she’s pregnant?! WOW, she’s the chicest pregnant woman ever. I would love to her legs in my genes!

She, Carine (Roitfeld),Geraldine (Saglio) and  Julia (restoin-Roitfeld) make such a great posse.
