Is modelling really just about getting free clothes and your name on a designer clothing line?

The mere thought of New Year’s Eve fills many people with dread, although I always wonder whether this is because they hate being part of a drunken crowd of revellers, or if it’s out of a deeper fear of facing the year just gone and the one looming up ahead.
Spending the night alone can quite often be the best way to do it in fact – you really do have to be in the mood to head out to a party big or small, and some years it’s just not what you feel like. If that’s the case, then listen to yourself and don’t feel forced to do it!
If you have no time on the night, at least sit quietly at some stage during the lead up, reflect on your accomplishments and all the things you want to do next, acknowledging the lessons you have learnt and giving yourself licence to dream big.
I see it as the perfect opportunity to spend a few days taking stock and formulating an exciting new plan. Then, I give myself the night off to crack open the bubbly and celebrate life and what lies ahead!
Now, even though you may not be heading out to a big glitzy bash – and the style bar always prefers a more intimate and low-key event – I always feel it is nice to don a little something special. For me it’s actually a way of mentally preparing myself to be at my best as I get ready to mark the passing of another year and the start of a new and even more fabulous one!
If you are attending a party away from home, especially in a city like Sydney where most people prefer to spend it outside, there is bound to be some element of large crowds and lots of competition for transport to contend with. So of course, I have a personal Survival Guide for New Year’s Eve, put together after years of making the same mistakes over and over again, but finally learning how it should be done! A bit like making New Year’s Resolutions really…
So, to ensure you get the most out of your New Year’s Eve:
And don’t think it can’t happen to you – after all, that’s the beauty of New Year’s Eve and my favoured approach to 2010 – anything can and probably will happen, so be ready for anything!!
Prospero Año Nuevo!

If you haven’t acquired a fabulously stylish clutch over the past 18 months since they came back into vogue, then you just haven’t been looking hard enough! I have to say that my own retro piece came to me direct from the 80s, so I was spared the hunt for a new one but missed out on the thrill of the chase!
However, out on a vintage shopping expedition recently, I chanced upon not one, not two, but THREE OR FOUR FABULOUS and REASONABLY-PRICED retro clutches in SHAG (34 Oxford Street, Paddington, in Sydney). I am talking under $50 here for the ones I spied, so these are seriously good value and so well worth popping in for a look.
Now, as I cannot purchase any items on my Sydney tour that won’t fit into my suitcase for the return trip to Europe, could someone PLEASE go and satisfy my clutching urges and buy one from here! I recommend the rectangular blue, white and orange one with diagonal stripes – perfect for summer! Please if it’s still there, just buy it! And be sure to send me a photo so I can share the love with the peeps…
Happy clutching
