This is my ideal outfit for today. What I'd love to be wearing and would fit my mood. Alas, I own none of these pieces. Maybe next time huh?

This blog has nothing to do with anything besides my confusion.

I sent a picture of a cute puppy to my boyfriend. He received the picture but it didn't say it came from my phone. He assumed it was me anyway and replied, then called me making sure I sent it and asking whose phone I used. Confused I said that I used my own. While we were talking he got a text from the same number he replied to asking who he was and why he was talking about sleepy puppies...

So strange... Damn phones! How do these things happen!!??

All this year the colour that has really stood out to me has been purple. Every time I see a shade, whether it be violet, lavender or plum, I can't help but take note. These lovely hues have been popping up all over the place and I for one am glad of it.

In honor of this gloriously girly colour I scoured Modcloth for some of my favorite purple finds. Although, I don't recommend wearing them all at the same time.

Do enjoy.x

Time for a wishlist update, and I have the perfect thing.

This very stylish (and useful?) hip flask, featuring a 1920's flapper girl, is just too adorable. I found this lovely little item over at modcloth (where else!?).

And I strongly believe this was made solely for my purse to hold a nice little nip of gin. If only I could afford to buy it and complete it's life's purpose...

This post is simply because I remembered that Stephen Fry's follow-up autobiography will be out next year and this makes me happy.

I was reading Harper's Bazaar yesterday and was trying to remember how long this prestigious magazine had been in print. My guess was since about the 1920's.

I could not have been more wrong... Harper's Bazaar was first published in 1867 and the first cover looked a little something like this >>

They've come a long way since then. I decided to look up some of their former cover arts and I must say that 'art' is definitely the right way to describe it. Some of the covers are simply beautifully and would look lovely mounted on just about any wall.

I'm sure the magazine has gone through many changes over the years but the one that stands out to me the most (and somewhat puzzles me) would have to be the change in spellings. Why is it that they use to spell Bazaar with only one 'a' and what made them feel the need to add an extra one?

As far as fashion magazines go it's pretty much this (and British Vogue when the mood strikes me). The Bazaar is the perfect magazine to sit back, a cup of caffeine in hand and relax with. Plus I have to admit that I have a thing for the historic at the moment (as proved by my previous Max Factor blog).

I can't imagine many newer magazines these days sticking it out for the long haul the way Harper's has done (except maybe Australia's very own Frankie mag...but that might just be wishful thinking).

Also if you're wondering the issue I was just reading was this one >>

Quite a good issue if you're after a magazine read.

Andy Warhol, the pop art prince, as much loved today as he ever was in his lifetime. I'm here to tell you that some of the current Warhol style merchandise you can buy is nothing short of fabulous.

Miss Stella McCartney's most recent fashion campaign is starring non other then our lovely friends from the forest, Bambi, Thumper and Flower.

Apparently the idea from which stemmed from her love of animals and her beliefs regarding their welfare (as well as her love for the Disney classic itself).

Her current season's designs are glamorous and liberating, animalistic in feel and freeing in nature.

The images, shot by Ryan McGinley, were taken in the woods of Worcestershire, England, the perfect backdrop for Bambi and co to drop by for a round of whose cutest. The animals or the clothes?

I personally love this ad campaign. So many fashion campaigns are harsh and disturbing, making me forget what it is their trying to sell in the first place.

Unlike this which is sweet and transporting making me first notice the images of all of our childhoods but then directly take stock of the gorgeous garments also featured. Fantastic effect. Original and classic all at the same time.

Kudos Stella!

Most of us out there have heard of the makeup brand, Max Factor, "the makeup of makeup artists" blah, blah, blah but how many of us actually realised just how awesomely historic this brand is?

Max Factor was the makeup classic Hollywood stars swore by. Marilyn Munroe used nothing but and the forever lovely Judy Garland lent her image to their advertisements.

Max Factor is said to have coined the term, Make-up. I mean, come on! That's pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

Know what else Max is attributed with?

The invention of both lip gloss and water proof mascara! Why, those are practically the best friends of every makeup toting girl out there!

Why didn't we know these things!? it seems wrong somehow.

Max Factor has slowly been losing popularity since the beginning of the millennium, according to sales figures.

I for one am sad to see this happen. I plan to stick by Max Factor now that I know the truth. I've already checked out their website and am currently planning my next makeup purchase.
