Pot of Gold

Well guys, I'm back. Or attempting to be back. I started yet another internship at Glamour Magazine for the Style Director and her assistant this time, instead of in the fashion closet. I'm learning so much about styling and so excited. Main points about my internship thus far: I was standing in the elevator next to Amy Astley on Monday, and I also (finally) saw Grace Coddington at her finest. The Conde Nast building, is the best building to walk in and out of.

I wore this to go out to eat with my boyfriend, surprisingly most of the outfit was free! (Perks of being an intern!) Thanks to my wonderful bosses. I got these wedges as a present to myself for making dean's list for Spring semester.

Genius Grace

Vogue's September issue has done it again, the best of the best is in this issue, and the most amazing editorials are gracing the pages of this magazine. I can't say enough about Grace Coddington and how much I love her styling, she is a genius.

Be my friend?

I have decided to start a post once a month about someone that I would die to be friends with, today's wonderful woman? Grace Coddington. Since The September Issue just was released on DVD, I watched it for the second time and really loved Grace in the movie, her humor, style, creativity and the way she can put an idea together into a photo shoot truly amazes me. In the movie they show pictures of her when she modeled for Vogue, she's gorgeous. Oh and it doesn't hurt that she's from Whales (the British accent wins it all).

In August 2008 Vogue did a shoot based off their own Creative Director Grace, the shoot even showed Grace's uncontrollable hair and love for cats:

Vogue also has an interview with her online, here are some of my favorite questions and answers on being in The September Issue:

"What was your reaction the first time you saw the movie?

Shock! Shock that I was in it as much as I was. I thought I would end up on the cutting-room floor. . . . It has happened before.

What’s it like watching yourself on-screen?
I’d much rather see myself in a still photograph than a moving one, because a still is more controlled and they can get rid of the double chins. I really thought I looked younger than that.

What’s the secret of surviving for 27 years in fashion?
Twenty-seven! Are you kidding? Do I look that young? Try 50!
There is no secret—just by absolutely loving what you do. Maybe it looks easy in the film to get great pictures. But there’s a lot more lead up, which you wouldn’t want to film because it’s boring. There’s all the wheeling and dealing to get the people to do the picture. There’s making sure you get the best clothes first, getting the right photographer and model, hair and makeup. The precise team is all-important. I do not accept second best. That’s my strength and my downfall, at the same time. Because I’m so stubborn I often do end up getting what I want. Even at school. On my reports it used to say, “Grace has a sweet way of getting her will.” I mean, I AM aware that sometimes I can be very annoying."
