The Typofiles #129: French Vogue

To me, French Vogue is the epitome of a chic when it comes to design. As I was digging through my collection of magazines recently, I found this gem from a few years back dedicated to the history of rock and roll. And really, who can ignore Kate Moss posing as Ziggy Stardust?!

French Vogue has a knack for art direction and the care they put into each feature shows. I wish more American magazines would take a cue from their beautiful yet restrained type treatments and attention to detail. This is definitely an issue I’ll be holding onto forever.

Adventures in Australia: Koala Cuddling

Nubby Twiglet | Koala Cuddle

Hello from beautiful Australia! I’ll have much more to share about my adventures in The Week In Pictures this Friday but one thing just couldn’t wait…I got to hold a baby koala!

This is Brandy and she weighs about nine pounds (the same as Rocky). I picked her up and she put her little paw on my shoulder and I melted. I stood there like a proud mother (haha) for a solid five minutes and honestly, I probably would have been happy standing there all day. If you’re ever visiting the Gold Coast, make a beeline for Dreamworld to hold your own koala (and also pet some kangaroos while you’re at it).

Oh, Brandy. What a doll! My life is complete now. To keep up with even more of my adventures down under in real time, you can follow along on Instagram and Twitter.
