Drumroll, please...

We know at last! The new editor in chief of Vogue Paris is none other than Emmanuelle Alt, former fashion editor for the magazine. I personally think that she's a lovely woman with a very defined personal style and, that sort of determination could prove essential in the blossoming of the magazine. She is very young (early forties) and has worked in fashion journalism all her life. She was even named fashion editor at ELLE magazine at age 20!


Most seem satisfied with this choice, however Karl Lagerfel has spoken some doubt in the matter:
“Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out (...) I personally like her. She’s a handsome French woman. She has a style, but is it enough to make a whole magazine?”


Only time can tell weather this was a right decision, but for my part, I wish her all success in the world. I would really love to see Vogue Paris grow exponentially.
One last question remains... With her resignation to the magazine affective as of February the first, what is Carine going to do now? We'll have to wait and see!

Karl does know how to sell himself!

He's the only one who can pull this kind of stunts! Really, who else could design a collection for Macy's while being the designer of Chanel? They are complete opposite brands and yet, he makes it work. He's a master of adaptation. He has a knack of the here and the now like no one else. Everything "today", he does and he's to be admired for it. I guess that included cars this time! He rocked that ad =)

Carine Leaves Vogue!

I was so saddened by the news. I couldn't believe when I first read it in Twitter. I thought it must be a prank. But, it's as real as her nose, she's resigned, effective in a few weeks. I'm so sad to watch her leave! She is so edgy and cool. She has such a young and daring view on fashion... and, most importantly, she's such a nice person! You don't find those as often as you'd like. Anyways, she'll be missed. All that is left now is speculation... who will replace her? My hopes go for Anna dello Russo, of course!!

R.I.P. my beloved dress

I'm mourning the loss of a dress... I left my university dorm for holidays at home but, in the middle of the stress of finals, I forgot a dress. My favorite dress, that I wore to my 21st birthday party. I had a friend look for it in my closet... but it's gone! It probably got stolen. I'm so depressed. I loved that dress! A minute of silence, to remember the beauty and happiness that it brought to my life in the short spam of time we were together...


On a different note... I don't know whether to laugh or cry... look what I found in Bershka last week:


Am I crazy or those look just like:


And finally, I leave you with an invitation to check out the new Lady Dior short film. Marion Cotillard, stunning like always. I must confess I much prefer Chanel's films, but I'm very biased in my opinion. I love Chanel.

Anna dello Russo+H&M+Lanvin = Love

Yes, Anna dello Russo modeling Lanvin for H&M... could it get better? Oh, yes, she has a dog walking the runway with her!...



I, obviously, love the dress... but no H&M in Mexico so... I just have to enjoy it on her...

On a different note, I'd love to share this image with you! That's just Alber Elbaz and Suzy Menkes at the IHT Luxury Conference. Nothing special about it, I just really like them both!
