la belle et le desk job
-Helen Mirren
//
It all started innocently enough. Wall Street was Everest. Internships. 1st job. Sleepless nights, weeks, months... Then with years in the rearview mirror, it was time to step away and figure out exactly how far this breathless trek had taken me. Now this belle has made the leap into fashion. Here goes nothing!

Celine announced back in January that they’d canceled their fall 2012 show due to designer Phoebe Philo’s pregnancy (she’s due in April). Instead, Philo will host a presentation in Paris on Sunday. While some have questioned the label’s decision to forgo a fashion show (and all the hype that comes with it), many women feel even more attached to the brand because of it. A piece in yesterday’s Times quotes over a dozen working professional women who swear by Philo’s designs — indeed, the article basically reads like a list of women gushing about their Celine wardrobes — partly because they relate to her desire to balance motherhood with her career.

Just received these in the mail — Zara Thin Strap Sandal.
The looks were much more interesting than those on the actual awards’ red carpet. Where was all the personality earlier in the day?

“Critics used to chalk up Stella McCartney’s success to her famous name. Then she outworked them all.”
An inspiring NY Times article for hard-working women in any industry, and a reminder that you can be successful all while staying true to your values.
“This is a company of mothers. It’s a unifying trait. These are organized, efficient moms. There are not many men, and the few are usually stunned by the level of organization of the women.” -Frederick Lukoff

The VB team re-tooled the Frye Engineer 8R’s with an added sheen to the leather and python detailing on the buckle straps.
After spending a week working with her and her team for NYFW, I have a new found respect for her drive and the fact that she’s trying to balance it all as a working mom.
Josephine!
