Supermodels of the 90's

Cindy, Tatjana, Helena, Linda, Claudia, Naomi, Karen and Stephanie

I was completely obsessed with supermodels in my teens and early twenties. Not only was I obsessed with supermodels, I was obsessed with collecting fashion magazines. My collecting started when I was around 14-15 years old. I remember my first real fashion magazine was Mademoiselle. Goodness , I wish it stayed that simple.....collecting 1 brand of magazine. My obsession quickly grew to collecting Bazaar, Elle, Vogue, Allure .....and of course, (because I was still a teen), Seventeen magazine.

I can still remember Mila Jojovich on the cover of Seventeen, I think she was 12 or 13 years old. I also remember Cameron Diaz modeling in Seventeen when she was in her teens.

So this obsession of mine became out of control...I am talking hundreds of magazines that I collected over years. It became a hobby, collecting ,categorizing and organizing these magazines by the brand and by month/year.

I am sad to say, in my early 20's when I moved into a small apartment, there was no room for my huge collection. Plus , they were so ridiculously heavy, it would of taken 3-4 guys to carry all the boxes of magazines. I had to get rid of them.......and trust me, it was a sad sad day.

These magazines were a stress reliever for me......I could sit for hours in my room and flip through my magazine collection. It gave me calmness and peace.....

My favorite models at the time were Helena Christenson (she was GORGEOUS!), Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana, Karen Mulder ...........the up and coming models I liked during the 90's were Amber and Shalom, Kate moss.....Anyways, I came across this picture and I swear for a moment, I was a teenager again sitting in my room looking through all my magazines. I remember this photoshoot spread ( I think it was in Vogue) , I thought everyone looked crazy gorgeous.

I thought I would post "Freedom" by George Michael......I watched this video obsessively when it first came out..... I thought it was so cool that supermodels were featured in a music video.....ENJOY!

Boots, Boots, and Boots!

I have been on a hunt for a pair of black, ankle high, lace up , buckle detail, military inspired, boots since last year. I remember seeing a pair at F21 last winter season but never bought a pair. I usually can't fit F21 shoes because they do not come in half sizes :(.

I am on a budget, so I am always looking for good deals......... well whatever is cheap or on sale. So for a couple of days I've searched blogs and shoe store / clothing store websites hoping to find a pair of boots I can afford.

One of my favorite blogs I follow 'LuLu and your mom', featured a pair of boots she bought from Storets.com. They were really cute , kind of expensive (around $66.00) , and had all the details I wanted in a boot. The only problem was the height of the top part of the boot....It looked kind of high. It looked like it would come up to the middle of my calf.....wrong wrong! I checked out Endless.com and found some cute boots by Seychelles..........but they were $139.95!!! Yikes, way way out of my budget! But I love the buckles , heel shape and height.

I crossed my fingers and hoped that Gojane.com had a boot that was affordable.......must of been my lucky day! So these boots did not have the buckle detail, but they were ankle high, lace up and military inspired style boot. The heel is a little thicker than I wanted, but I can live with it. The price was great.....around $23.00 (there was a 25 % off sale). Woo hoo!!

Enjoy!

As I have mentioned before, I just started working again. It's been really hard for me adjusting to waking up really early, using a lot of mental power (my brain) while I am training for my new job, and coming home after a long day at work. I am usually yawning at work by 9 or 10 a.m. and when I get home I want to go straight to bed.

I have never been one to drink coffee.....I am super duper sensitive to caffeine. I am talking jitters, headache, nausea and feeling of craziness when I have to much caffeine.

My co-workers turned me onto this drink called Zipfizz. It is a healthy energy drink that gives you a boost of energy that last from 4-6 hours. It is healthier because the ingredients are just vitamins, minerals and a very small amount of caffeine from natural sources like green tea and guarana. The main vitamin that gives you the energy is B-12........ it comes in powder form and you just mix it with a bottle of water (12-16 oz).

I have to say it actually works! I can only drink have a bottle because I feel the effects right away. It definitely wakes me up and gives me energy to help me through my work day. They come in all different flavors.....I have only tried the grape and orange. I like them both, there really good. I went to their website www.zipfizz.com, and it looks like a much healthier alternative to the other energy drinks that's loaded with caffeine.

Have an awesome 3 day weekend folks!

Peace,
