I found Katie Morosky's (Barbra Streisand) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">wardrobe quite inspiring, especially the colour palette of camel, taupe, navy, white, red, etc. etc. My favourite scene was where Katie and Hubbell (Robert Redford) run into each other outside a hotel where Katie is protesting against the nuclear bomb. I have never seen upturned collars look so chic! Plus who doesn't love Robert Redford in his heyday?</span></span><br />

As I was googling images from the film I came across this highly amusing tumblr: <a href="http://whatwouldbabswear.tumblr.com/">What Would Babs Wear</a><br />

My workplace is quite relaxed so I could easily wear these skirts with a fitted singlet or long-sleeved top in a neutral colour with a black fitted cardi. I love dressing for the cold weather - knee-high boots, long woollen skirts, fitted jumpers, oversized cardis ... I could go on and on.<br />

Unfortunately the cooler weather is a little way off yet!<br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is an important day for all Australians as Julia Gillard has been chosen by the Labor caucus as the first female Prime Minister. While it is a landmark, the manner in which her rise has occurred leaves me feeling sorry for Kevin Rudd who was elected on a wave of excitement and anticipation of the changes to come.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">KRudd will be remembered for his apology to the Stolen Generation, as well as overturning WorkChoices. Despite these improvements, a number of important policy backflips (immigration, ETS, etc., etc.) and policy changes (the mining supertax) rendered Rudd's often frenzied leadership open to criticism. These criticisms came from many corners. The most complex analysis of Rudd's rise to power came in David Marr's Monthly Essay which contended that Rudd's political persona can be explained at least partially by his experiences as a child which brought about a so-called "inner rage". As questions began to be asked about KRudd's leadership, his composure seemed to dissapate. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, I am happy to see Gillard obtain such wide support from her Labor colleagues. The big test, however, is whether Australians will directly elect Julia at the election later this year. This makes for a very interesting election campaign. No doubt, Abbott will struggle to campaign against Gillard. I look forward to Abbott putting his foot in it. </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm a huge FOOTBALL fan (real football aka The World Game). It is universal and enthralling, especially when the World Cup comes around every four years. Thanks to global migration post-WWII, my allegiance is split between: 1. Australia 2. Italy 3. Argentina.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The FFA now need to focus on developing young players to replace players like Kewell and Emerton. As the oldest team in tournament, Italy have failed to provide much excitement or entertainment. Of all my allegiances, Argentina is looking the most promising to take out the highest accolade in football. Add to that the fact that their coach is the most enthralling and compelling figure (some say caricature) in international football. Watching Maradona on the sidelines is like watching a train crash in slow motion, the guy just exudes a vibe reminiscent of a Greek Tragedy! </span><br />

Call me vain and throw me in a pot of boiling water. So be it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I grapple with the blogger thing. I would like to do outfit posts but am worried about revealing too much of myself via the internet. To put this in perspective, I nearly died last week when I realised my privacy settings on facebook were not, in fact, very private at all. This problem was quickly rectified.<br />
<br />
This is why I found the latest post by <a href="http://stylelines.blogspot.com/">Stylelines</a> really refreshing - the lovely Kat George posted a 'normal' yet very pretty picture of herself. I'm sick of the uber polished, dressed to perfection photos common on many fashion blogs and just want to see some normal people wearing normal outfits. I'm sure most style bloggers photoshop and 'fix up' their outfit photos before posting.<br />
<br />
While these are two distinct issues, I feel they are connected. Are fashion blogs, and other social media mediums just a means for us to show others how perfect our lives are? How much should we reveal of ourselves on the internet?<br />
<br />
To all the bloggers out there, tell me, how do you decide what is and what is not appropriate to reveal on the net?Hons and Rebelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11485254770028502934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132826374270028682.post-41226708623089509672010-04-16T09:30:00.000+10:002010-04-16T09:30:52.607+10:00Splendour in the grass 2010So the Splendour line up was announced yesterday and I can describe it in one word, ok maybe two: freakishly amazing! So many great Australian and international artists! Then i sussed out ticket prices: freakishly expensive!

Well it seems that mother nature has had her sweet revenge this NY fashion week.* Shin deep snow in the lead up to fashion week and cold weather has seen editors, stylists, bloggers, and celebs stack on the layers. Warm winter dressing never looked so good.

When those slightly annoying airline intros that come after the all important safety instructions were finished, I hastily turned my in-flight entertainment device onto a film which I had been eager to see since it's release in Australia in December. Jane Campion's movie surrounds the love affair between romantic poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and the strong-willed Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish). It is a beautifully shot film with amazing costumes and sets. I am a sucker for costume dramas hence my devotion to period films, not to mention BBC dramas!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My sister and I were lucky enough to visit the Keats museum when we were recently in Rome. Despite consisting of only four small rooms (the rooms in which Keats lived for the five or so weeks before he died), it is packed full of information on Keats' life, upbringing and family, as well as information on his contemporaries, Byron and Shelley. After taking in all this information, we relaxed in the main room where the poetry of Keats, Shelley, and Byron is on hand to read. Ideal for a cold and dreary afternoon in Roma! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you haven't seen Bright Star already, go and see it! Ditto if you find yourself at the Spanish Steps with a spare couple of hours!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Picture: www.brightstar-movie.com</span></div><div><br /></div>Hons and Rebelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11485254770028502934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132826374270028682.post-65667797304789846932010-02-17T17:35:00.002+11:002010-02-17T17:47:02.205+11:00One of those day...You know those days where your hair doesn't sit right? <div><br /></div><div>Or where you are still waking up at 3 am craving a 3 course Italian meal due to a severe case of jetlag?<br /><div><br /></div><div>Or where your alarm doesn't go off and you wake up 30 minutes after you're shift started?* </div><div><br /></div><div>Or where your sister steals your salvatores even though you are trying to keep them looking nice and you specifically asked her NOT to wear them? </div><div><br /></div><div>We all have those days right???
