A Decade of Vogue Paris by Carine Roitfeld: My Favorites

As we all know a couple of weeks ago on December 17, 2010, Carine Roitfeld, the Editor in Chief of Vogue Paris, resigned to focus on personal projects after directing the magazine for ten years. The unstopable news spread around the world in just a few hours. Everyone, including myself, could not believe what they were reading.  "Who can replace Carine  ?" was one of the multiple questions that popped into my mind right after reading numerous articles from different websites (anyone want to take a guess? I would say that Emmanuelle Alt is the first runner).  According to Jonathan Newhouse, under the direction of Carine throughout this decade, "Vogue Paris received record levels of circulation and advertising and editorial success" (source).

Everything first started with the May Vogue Paris 2001 cover above featuring Natassa Vojnovic by Greg Kadel. Since then, Carine  has always left us breathless with the 98 simple, elegant, and always well polished covers she directed.  Anyway, I've prepared a little hommage à Carine (as the French would say)of each of my favorite magazine covers of the years she has directed the magazine. Isn't it the best way to end 2010?

MY BEST WISHES FOR 2011



Grrrr....Welcome to the Jungle!

This season designers couldn't resit to animal prints, and especially the big cat print. Leopard prints walked down the catwalks of Dolce&Gabbana, Moschino, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo,  Etro,and Mulberry just to name a few. When I saw this editorial from Elle Mexico, I thought it perfectly sumed up how to wear and style them. If you feel that wearing animal prints from head-to-toe is too much, you can always incorporate them in your accesories such as in bags, gloves, and boots. 


Are you wearing animal prints this season?

As Christmas comes closer, the task of finding the perfect party dress hangs in the air. Some people will buy their dress on the very last minute because they either were too busy running errands or they simply lacked inspiration. To prevent the latter from happening, here is a good dose of inspiration from different magazine editorials. 

Are you heads over heels in love with any of these dresses?

Do You Remember Her?: Burberry Prorsum Pre-fall 2011

After my brief absence there is a lot of cathcing up  I need to do especially with all of the new Pre-fall 2010 Collections. I'm gone for a few days and everything has changed. It's incredible how fast the world of fashion moves.  Anyways, as I was looking through the pictures of Burberry's Pre-fall 2011 Collection, I asked myself "Doesn't this face sound familiar?" How about you ask yourself the same question. Well, you might remeber my post about Asos lookbook featuring the same model. Going from Asos to Burberry is a big jump, and I'm looking forward to see what else this model can do. For now I have to say that these long Burberry dresses look gorgeous on her. Do you think she will be the nest "it" girl?

P.S.: By the way, does anyone know what this model's name is. I've been trying to find that out for ages.


The UPLA giveaway is now closed. I will announce the winner soon. Thanks to everyone who participated.

What the Stars Have to Tell Us...

Although I don't frequently read horoscopes, I have always been curious about what each sign represents and how it relates to someone's personality. This editorial ,from Vogue UK December 2010, left me breathless. Not only are the pictures beautiful but each sign is symbolized in a very unique way. So far, this month I've been very impressed with all of the photo shoots from Vogue UK and I definitely think this issue is worth buying.  You can see my other post on the editorial Seeing Stars of Vogue UK here.

What's your favorite sign? I guess it's hard to chose when you love them all but I think my favorite is Virgo.
