Hashtag - VOGUE

Magazine's. One of life's little luxuries.

I rarely reach for the gossip mag's, I'm more of a life and style typa gal so when I saw a year's subscription at a very cheap price (for the life of me I cannot remember but definitely up to or under $45.00) I very quickly whipped out my debit Mastercard.


Never disappointed, forever excited with each monthly issue, I could not be happier with my little slice of chic heaven. 
The style inspiration alone is enough to justify the year's subscription price. And yes, I believe my style has definitely evolved thanks to this magazine. Ok, that might be subjective, but hey, whatever helps me justify the annual renewal fee, right? ;)

Now, if I could only afford a third of what graces those pages!

It's now two years in and I can't even bear to throw out any of the older issues. Be prepared to see me in a future episode of hoarders. I'll be the lady wearing a bright bold lip, laptop at the ready, buried in amongst the mountains of Vogue magazines in my living room.

In conclusion, if you've been umming and ahhrring over getting a subscription for one of your fave magazines, I would highly recommend doing so. 

Happy reading!

2013, The year of the... errr...?

New year, new me?

Well that was the plan. One of many for the year.

So let's go through my top four 2013 objectives and if they've been manageable up until the now second month of the new year;

1. Maintain current gym routine.

Fairly standard for a resolution I would think, and OK so this one's not completely ruined,... yet.

Going to the gym when you're on holidays is a piece of cake, well for me anyway. But once you're back at work, who wants to slug it out at the gym after you've been slugging it out at the office all day? Not me.

And yes, I'd much rather stay in bed that little bit longer rather than pump some iron at a 6am gym sesh. But new year, let's see how far the commitment stays. So far so good.

2. Be on time.

Pretty simple right? Go me! Not once late so far. Check and check!

3. Shop the stash.

Essentially this ties in with getting better at saving money and splurging less. I'm constantly complaining about not having anything to wear... cue photo's of current wardrobe and two, yes two chest of drawers (ahem... I've also got clothes in the spare room.. ahem.. and laundry).

There is only so much I need, what I want however, is a whole different ball game.

So no more rash purchases (weep) and I must use up all of my current beauty items before purchasing new ones. Goodbye, Priceline, Myer and David Jones... I think it may be a while until I grace your beauty department once again.

4. Challenge myself.

My favourite resolution of all and one that I will struggle to recommit to every time because, let's face it, it's so easy to stick to what you know. The problem with that is, that well, you don't get to experience new things because you're doing the same thing over and over again. So righto, step aside fear and let's live a little!.. within budget ;)

All in all I think 2013 will be a bright and bold year... I feel it in my bones!
