Have you noticed? Fashion just keeps getting faster and faster. Now that a pre-teen in Flint can so easily scope the latest in Singaporean street styles, the speed at which fashion changes seems directly related to the size of the swelling fashion blogosphere.
Painfully Hip is quickly approaching toddlerdom (our 2nd birthday is in about 2 months) and it really is amazing how much winter style has changed in such a short time. Even a lot of photos I chose last December look a tad dated to me. So here are some year-old favorites which actually have a shelf-life and still look pretty hip to me. Perhaps even painfully so.
Winter 2007
One of my new years resolutions is to take my own advice to re-assess and maximize my wardrobe and perhaps finally start my own style journal (thanks, Diana!).
I don’t know about you guys, but I am most definitely looking forward to 2009. 2008 was like a scary rollercoaster – high highs, low lows, got my blood pumping, and boy am I’m glad its over. Happy to be alive, I’m going to spend the rest of the year scoping dolphins from a beach house in Santa Cruz and keeping my fingers crossed that the heat-seeking lightning bolt that is 2008 misses me one last time. On that note…
happy new year to everyone who writes (and reads!) painfully hip!!!
ciao,
julie
I like your picks.
Happy Champagne Day!
I love you Amber! Not only your enviably intuitive personal chic and charisma, but also your fantastic eye for fashion and you’re-as-hot-as-you-feel mantra. Thank you for a year of ideas, inspiration, wonderful guest bloggers like Diana, and laughs. Have a happy, happy New Year! I’ll raise a glass or two to you…
Happy New Years!!
The best part about all these photos from last winter is that they’re still VERY HIP. I would have thought these were recently taken!
have a fabulous new year ahead!!
Their style survived!
Have a happy new year!
These looks are all still SO inspiring! Thanks for posting!
Aww, thanks for putting up my photo!! I can’t believe the blog is almost 2 years old! Where on earth does the time go??

Последнее время читаю между строк. Стал меньше уставать.
