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!

The two biggest hassles for me? Moving my clothes/shoes and my huge collection of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar magazines. Don’t kid yourself, those monthlies weigh a TON. 

As I was moving the magazines, I had the opportunity to shuffle through a lot of the covers that I hadn’t seen in ages. But the one that stood out to me the most was the March 2008 one of Drew Barrymore.

Something about her dewy makeup grabbed my attention, and immediately the words retro and classic popped into my mind. In other words, while she looks stunning, this cover definitely feels dated to me.

Jason Wu Seberg sunglasses in Onyx.
Picked these up at the Bergdorf event last night. What’s more notable than the retro-80s feel, which I love? The fact that they are nose-pieceless (yes, I make up my own words), and they still fit my bridgeless Asian nose. Rare, my friends.
p.s. The designer, so sweet and gracious in person. Big fan <3
