Since when do I wear spring in autumn-Vogue Australia?

Upon beginning the April edition of Australian Vogue I was instantly greeted with numerous pictures of floral clad models in a multitude of colours bright enough to put a tranny's make up covered face to shame! Which confused me because in Australia April means Autumn which ultimately equals 'almost' winter fashion, so why I ask is vogue covering the current spring/summer fashion which is only valid in America at the moment? This has really confused/annoyed me because I have been holding off reading April's edition until I had finished all of the urgent items on my to do list and then when I finally get around to reading it I find that there is only a small proportion of the magazine that is reflective of the upcoming autumn/winter trends like black leather jackets, knee high socks and dominatrix inspired accessories. Thank goodness I've been doing a little bit more of my own research into this winter's trends otherwise I'd be a little behind in organising what key pieces to buy for this winter had I solely relied on this month's vogue to get me started. But having said that maybe I'm just being a pedantic cause it is only April and I guess I have to admit I'm a little obsessive compulsive at the moment about organization!

But apart from that minor fault the April edition of Aussie vogue it is a total keeper cause this month includes a great Indian inspired spread featuring Aussie supermodel Catherine McNeil and a fantastic High street fashion lift out; so tell me what your thoughts are on this by leaving me a comment cause I promise to reply asap!!!

love always xoxo

Abbey Lee - Rise of the Next Supermodel

Ok so I need to go to sleep but I thought before I go to bed I'd better give you all something to think about whilst you sleep your way through the night ....boring. Moving on, lately I have been so excited by Australian model, Abby Lee Kershaw's big debut in the recent fall collections walking for notable designers Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, John Galliano and more of the like. Hailed in no.1 in style.com's top 10 upcoming models Abbey was first discovered by the Girlfriend magazine's 'Girlfriend model search' which launched the careers of other supermodels Miranda Kerr and Catherine McNeil; my two favourite Aussie girls! Both of whom have gone onto become two of the most covetable and hard to get models in the business. Abbey has been a clear favourite of mine ever since I saw on the pages of my -then idolised- Girlfriend magazine a few years ago in her cute dotty number. So all I can say is that I can't wait to see her in blossom into the gorgeous supermodel just like her Girlfriend alumni Miranda and Catherine because if her current CV is anything to go by we can very well expect no less than supermodel status from this beautiful Aussie girl!
