la belle et le desk job

"The hardest period in life is one’s 20s. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous and you’re physically in peak condition, but it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening."
-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!

Up to you to make every day as perfect as possible.

The real secret is being in love with life and realizing what you have.

dare to be different.

I’m really scared for my generation, you know. The thing that scares me most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn’t matter. No one gives a fuck about that shit. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they’re just taking these images and living vicariously through other people’s moments. It just kills me. Then you’ll meet them and they’re just the biggest turkey in the world. They don’t actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It’s scary man, simulation life that we’re living. It scares me.
Fall in love, or fall in hate.Get inspired, or be depressed.Ace a test, or flunk a class.Make babies, or make art.Speak the truth, or lie and cheat.Dance on tables, or sit in the corner.
Life is divine chaos.
Embrace it.
Forgive yourself.
Breathe.
And enjoy the ride…

Normal is not something to aspire to, it’s something to get away from.

I don’t think of myself as a powerful person. You know, what does it mean? It means you get a better seat in a restaurant or tickets to a screening or whatever it may be. But it is a wonderful opportunity to be able to help others, and for that I’m extremely grateful.
Anna Wintour, in response to “What does ‘power’ mean to you?”
