back from the dead

I'm back from the dead....literally. I had ran away from life and was sunning myself in Perth, West of Australia since ye old Christmas day. My-oh-my does it hurt to be back.

Put simply - reality bites.

Nevertheless I have my Feb edition of Rushh, a delightful new pair of Friend of Mine shoes, a free copy of Lure and a whole heap of wonderful blogs to pour through, to keep me going.

I also come bearing gifts in the next few days, that I had promised before Christmas.

So until we meet again, enjoy the pretty pictures...

jalouse is a curse

I'm not sure why (a sentiment of sheer boredom perhaps) but last night, I felt the need to go through a back catalogue of editions of Jalouse Magazine. Jalouse would have to be one of mon absolutement favourites (ssshhh don't tell Rush or Harper's, for I fear retribution).

A french magazine for the young and by the young, Jalouse has been the magazine devoted almost entirely to the trendy in crowd in Paris. Noted for its daring and contemporary editorial pieces since its inception in 1998, it looks towards pushing an avant-garde view that shakes up preconceived ideas and constantly innovates.

Such was my obsession with getting my hands on editorial years gone by that I hardly thought the need to sleep. A sleepless night and many happy hours later, the result is a little post on some of my Jalouse favourites....enjoy.

A subscription to Jalouse has been placed as number one on my Christmas wish list, lets hope someone pulls through.
