two thousand and eight : the after party.


i knew i wanted to make my last post of 2008 a special one.
after all this year has been one of the most fabulous;
my first visit to nyc in march which turned into four total trips over the entire year.
the chance to mingle with models during fashion week,
alison goldfrapp at radio city & roisin murphy in a chelsea club.
but i think the thing to top it all off are the amazing friends ive met & made this year.
heres to those lovely new mates & to the old ones ive gotten to know that much more.

so rather than the typical new years eve party mix,
ive decided to instead make pour toi a sortof after party mix.

a mix for the hazed cab ride home under starry skies & fluorescent city lights.
for falling asleep in your makeup, wearing only lace tights,
knickers & flea market found jewellery.
for mimosas made the next morning with leftover bits of champagne.
for making an insanely unhealthy & sweet waffle breakfast.
for staying in bed all day with purple magazine & old ingrid bergman films.
and for nursing that nasty unglamorous erm hangover.

click here to download as little or as much as you like.
included are some of my favourite current tracks like the movie star remix im constantly listening to & my new favourite moloko remix of the flipside, my favourite goldfrapp remix ever, a favourite jazz tune, two gorgeous tracks from a favourite danish band of mine trentemøller & a song from my new favourite album ruby blue.

enjoy, darlings & cheers to an even more fabulous 2009.

loads of love, A.

Lovely post :) The music mix is very fitting for that day-after-night-before mood, although I think that Trentemöller is a danish dj, not a swedish band. Correct me if I'm wrong =)
