Le Journalist

OK, I have decided. Well I'm pretty sure about it.

I would like to be a journalist.

I heard so many bad stories from my boyfriend about horror editors and the slim chances to ever make it big. He worked at a country newspaper for a year so I pretty much took everything he said as truth. BUT then I watched a video of Zoe Foster talking about how her career began and it has kind of changed my mind about the whole journalism world. Sure she said it was super hard for her to get a job straight out of uni, and sure she worked at a kids magazine for something like $20,000 a year... but now she has published three books and is the editor of an online beauty blog. Oh, and she writes a column for Cosmopolitan. Pretty cool hey?

And, just to make this post a little more gossip-y, apparently she is dating Hamish Blake. He is also pretty cool.

So, just to make this a little more interesting, here is a photo of her at the Australian Fashion Week opening;

Sarah Tarca and Zoe Foster

So lately I have been stalking the likes of Anna Wintour and Diana Vreeland. Wintour apparently gets a $200,000 budget for clothes... per year! V. Jealous! Of course, I don't think I will ever get to her status. Reading inspirational books will undoubtedly proclaim otherwise through some cliche quote about stars and potential. I try to be realistic (another trait which has rubbed off on me from my boyfriend). Everyone who I have researched (who has made it) have always said that you have to be dedicated and willing to overwork yourself for 'diddly squat'. I shall have to think about how much I actually want this and to see if I have the drive to work for it, because if you don't, it appears you end up in some crap newspaper or magazine somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The other thing that would hold me back (and always has), is that I never think I can be the better than anyone else at, well, anything!

I shall research it way more and give you an update, which frankly, I don't think you will think 'diddly squat' of!

Them Thangs

I am so excited. And probably really, really behind the time in this announcement! Them Thangs is back! It was my favourite website for ages until it got shut down for some reason. I vaguely remember something about too much traffic and that the creators needed donations? Anyway, its back! Which is, how to you say, SICK AS!

Here are some lovely snaps from the site;

Glittered Oxfords

$28

Unless I have missed a number after the dollar sign, I am impressed.

Although they would probably disintegrate as soon as I walked around in the rain, you can almost afford a new pair every week!

White Boots Black Lace

I had these two photos on my computer and have often looked at them. I never ever noticed that they were actually the same photo cut in half! How daft of me!

Anyway, back to the orginal topic... I want these boots. Arent they lovely?

 Your answer: "Yes. Yes they are."

I would also like the hat.

Yes please.

Vintage Bathers

Well arent these just the sweetest?

The first one is obviously a re-make but it is still stunning just the same!

I am really into vintage bathers at the moment and have been searching for them in Op Shops everywhere. I found one cute pair which are pink and have little white frilly bits. It has a seperate bottom and top but when you have it on it just looks like a one piece. The material is really odd though. Very thick and with a 'quilted' type stitch. Of course, because they are vintage. there is boning and a built in bra thing!

Im not sure if I am game enough to wear it out yet. I will next summer, at least once to give it a turn in the sun. It deserves it!

Lucid Dreaming

I am about to try this to see if it works. I will probably end up having a night terror or something.

I have never had one before but they look bad on movies.
