Loves of the week/ month — depending on my attention span



Just bought the new British Vogue. It's amazing. A fantasy issue with a fashion fairytale in it. If only the US Vogue were more inspiring and thought of new ideas. (Seriously, how many times do I need to see Jackie Kennedy or read them compare someone to Jackie O. And making a beautiful girl look dead is hardly inspiring.) The 3 page fold out cover is amazing. Here's just the cover. This is what fashion magazine should be about. It should be a fantasy. If I wanted real life I would look in my closet full of dull gray sweaters and cardigans.



Also, The Ting Tings. Great fun group with a unique sound.

A whirl

Once again I begin something and things just seem to get in the way. After beginning this blog I got 2 freelance JOBS! So it has been crazy busy and this and everything else in my life seems to have been put to the side. I'm working 50+ hours a week but I'm loving it. As I told my dad, "I least I'm not worried about whether someone wanted a lime or a lemon with their vodka... ." These two companies have really allowed me to use my skills and to learn new things. (I played graphic designer this week.) While I seem to be on a 24 hour coffee high and when I'm not working I'm learning more about photoshop and reading blogs on marketing and design. I love it but hopefully after the first of the year things will become more stabile since I'm hoping that one of the companies might offer me a full time position. We'll see... In this economy, I don't know anymore. Maybe I should talk to the government. Since they are bailing out everyone else, can they bail me out of my debt and student loans too? Yea right.
