Hooray, it’s a new year! That, of COURSE, means that there are oodles of websites making astrological predictions for each sign’s coming attractions. I love reading what astrologers think I have in store, even if my belief in horoscopes is selective at best! Here are some of the best I’ve found, & I’d love to hear if you have a favourite astrologer, too!

<3 According to Chinese astrology, it’s the year of the rat. Check out astrology.com for a run-down of the year, then scroll to the bottom & see what is in store for your Chinese sign!

<3 Astrology.com has also got 2008 predictions for Aries, Taureans, Pisces & the other standard signs!

<3 Susan Miller is amazing. She writes superbly in-depth predictions every month, which are a great read.

<3 You all know how much I adore Rob Brezsny. His horoscopes are definitely worth a read! I love his inspiring tone & his desire to make us all into better people.

<3 The Astro Twins have a very different style — I’d say they write light & breezy horoscopes for the 20-something party girl. Hey, it works for me!

Now, the other stuff!

<3 Interview with Jim Carrey. I love him. So much.

<3 Goodbye 2007, & thanks for all the butt-cracks — a video from Goodiebag.

<3 An interview with Anthony Robbins which I think is about the most interesting thing I’ve ever read, maybe.

<3 Hello Kitty contact lenses. Argh!

<3 My cool, awesome & hot friend Peter has tips on how to break into the fashion industry, which is worth reading if you have those sorts of intentions!

<3 Baskerville Basics — a guide to dressing like Sherlock Holmes! Yes! Fantastisch!

<3 The Telegraph picks style icons of 2007.

<3 My Fashion Life dishes on the top 10 trends of 2007.

<3 There is an official Sex & The City movie blog, for Carrie (& Charlotte, Samantha & Miranda) addicts around the world! Hooray!

<3 Stylish ladies from Reykjavik!

<3 Fashion Nation’s fashion resolutions for 2008! I haven’t set any style resolutions for myself yet… though I’m sure they’ll come to me later!


Anthony Robbins on Larry King.


B-Boy Junior is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  2. I love Fashion Nation’s resolutions – so stylish! I’ve also put in some style resolutions that I’m hoping I stick to this year.

    [though I am wearing my ratty old jeans right now but with full lipstick on to offset it.. ha]

  3. Ooohhh Anthony Robbins….he has such a cool voice.
    I listened to a whole lot of his audio workshops back in December and he really is interesting.

  4. my fashion resolution is to try and buy one of a kind well made pieces, unless its a basic piece of clothing, that means alot of op-shopping, vintage stores and shopping in random clothing stores in Sydney.
    my other fashion resolutions are to get a moleskine to start a diary and take regular photos of myself and to have my own style taken to a whole new level, because it is currently at that stage where im happy with where its headed and i am learning from my fashion mistakes :S.

    p.s those hello kitty contact lenses are the weirdest thing ive ever seen!

    <3 Katrina · Jan 4, 01:24 PM · #
  5. That hello kitty contacts are one of the most freaky things I’ve ever seen! o_o!

    My fashion resolution is to not buy stuff in the mall (mabye a bikini or just a few things), and buy my things in vintage stores, from independent designers and open marketplaces! :D Malls suck but my mom always drags me to them…not anymore!

  6. I love the picture you used for this because it was taken on The Palace Pier which is in the city I live!
    I’ve been looking for a few different horoscopes (so I can pick the one I like best!) so this is perfect, thanks.

  7. Hello Kitty Hell rocks!! It made me laugh so hard.

    <3 Julie · Jan 4, 01:49 PM · #
  8. shoutouts!!!! HOLLERR!

    The only fashion resolution right now is to get a new awesome hairstyle. Right now I have my sights set on getting a badass greaser pomp.

    <3 Peter · Jan 4, 02:02 PM · #
  9. Peter — HOLLA ATCHA BOY! & oh, god, yes, greaser pomp! You would look AMAZING!

  10. I’m a fire tiger and that horoscope site says i’m in for a bad year (42%.....7 months bad/4 months good/1 month neutral). Wish I hadn’t read it now.

    On a more positive note, my Gemini horoscope is far more pleasing!

    <3 gemma · Jan 4, 02:48 PM · #
  11. Ahhh this is so weird, I was just in my basement hula-hooping and thinking about how badly I need a Sherlock Holmes cameo and a pocket watch and then I come on here and there’s a link to a Sherlock Holmes post.
    Maybe next I can find some pieces to help me channel Hercule Poirot (minus the moustaches).

    <3 Anastasia · Jan 4, 03:36 PM · #
  12. Ah, my parents wanted to go to an Anthony Robbins seminar in Sydney when I was, like, 10 or something, so they dragged me along. I can’t really remember it because I was very unimpressed by all his swearing when my little sister was there too, hahaha!
    I was a very proper 10-year-old :P

    <3 Miri · Jan 4, 03:53 PM · #
  13. Yay for Sex and the City blog! I didn’t like it so much growing up but now I absloutly adore the show and can’t wait till the movie comes out. My new goal is to own the whole tv series by the end of 2008 (Hopefully convince my parents to buy them for me as a birthday present :D)

    <3 Rachael · Jan 4, 10:04 PM · #
  14. wow, I stopped reading astrology stuff for a while because I couldn’t find one I liked very much. Susan Miller is fantastic! Thanks for the heads up Gala : ) I’m a Pisces and I love reading my horoscopes…makes me all dreamy haha. Plus I’m starting my own business this year and she pretty much told me to forge ahead, it’s a great time to do so (not that I wouldn’t have anyways!)...but yay!

    <3 brianna · Jan 5, 03:30 AM · #
  15. wow, the susan miller one was creepily accurate. cool! :D

    <3 k3 · Jan 5, 06:42 AM · #
  16. I love to read old horoscopes to see if they were accurate :) I wonderrr if any of these sites have their predictions for 2007. It’d be more fun for me to read.! So I shall check.

    <3 Elizabeth · Jan 5, 07:33 AM · #
  17. Merci beaucoup for all the astrology links mademoiselle! I’m a Pisces (although like most Pisceans born in the Southern Hemisphere I share a great deal of Virgo traits – listmaking say what?) & all of my readings for 2008 are lining perfectly up with a career change I started the wheels in motion for in very late December. I’m so glad the stars are in agreement with me! ;) xox

    <3 Felicity · Jan 5, 09:23 AM · #
  18. The Hello Kitty contacts- I can’t tell if I want them or if I’m terrified of them. I think it’s both!

    <3 audrey · Jan 5, 10:02 AM · #
  19. I love Jim Carrey. Always have. Thanks for the interview link. Interesting stuff! :)

    <3 Sarah · Jan 5, 04:43 PM · #
  20. Oh God. I spent hours last night on that Hell Kitty Hell blog and I’ve found my way back there this morning. How can there be so much Hello Kitty CRAP! Don’t get me wrong, I’m partial to a bit of Kitty but jeeeeeeez!!

    Happy 2008 Gala.

    P.S. Flipping through a book in the library I discovered that Dali’s wife was called Gala. Gala Dali. And that sort of rang a bell. I’m assuming it isn’t a huge coincidence!
