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!

don’t be fooled.

the vogue shape issue editorial was great, but this video brings it to life. joan smalls is quickly becoming one of my new favorite models.

Not a fan.

Ever since Harper’s Bazaar’s use of a recycled image of Jolie for their July 2009 issue, I continue to see any covers with her as the subject to be a pure marketing play — rather than any sort of artistic expression or reflection on what’s currently inspirational in fashion — and I expect much more from a publication such as Vogue.

When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I felt it fed me more.

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.
