Influential editor, Carine Roitfeld announced Friday that she would resign from her post as editor-in-chief of French Vogue this coming January.  Roitfeld has served this post for the past 10 years and has "no plan at all" for what she will do after she ceases working at the magazine, most likely in March. Read more here.


In other slightly more baffling news, Chanel model and Lagerfeld protege, Baptiste Giabiconi has released his 1st single, entitled Showtime. 
  
I would say, "don't quite your day job" if I ever encountered this fine specimen of a man, but I would probably be too afraid of his spontaneously combustible super-powers to dare do so. What do you think of this video and his singing in general, and what do you think is next for Roitfeld and French Vogue?

Pressing On

Dress and Cami: Elle (Kohl's), Shoes: Calvin Klein, Chalcedony Earrings and Jade/Freshwater Pearl Bracelet: Type 0(-)

Dress: J. Crew, Shoes: Alfani (Macy's), Pearl Necklace and Pearl Earrings: Gifts, Wristlet: Coach

This was a very busy weekend!  Of course, because I was in such a rush to get ready, (or because I was waiting for people to get ready and therefore had no one to photograph me-i don't have a huge tripod either so no timer pics) I didn't have time to take a proper photo in the 1st outfit. So excuse the cropped side photo.  But I did squeeze in these other 2 photos in this J. Crew cotton dress that is good for wearing on 90 degree days (in case you find yourself needing a dress for an event in the dog days of summer).  I also really liked these cork platform peep-toe slingbacks even though they killed my feet.  I find platforms to be superior to shoes like the ones I wore in the 1st photo because they are so much sturdier so you're not wobbling all over the place like a little kid on a humungous bike (wow, what a simile).  The Elle dress has quickly become a favorite of mine and I've found that Kohl's is really vamping up it's contemporary collections with some cute stuff.  This dress isn't available at the Kohl's near my house anymore but there is a cute zippered tank top in the same print that I really like. Hope your weekend was great!   

P.S. It's summer.

I'm bAAAck!

Well hopefully I haven't lost my entire reader base by taking a break from blogging, but if you're still here you can take a look at what I wore to school on Friday (sorry for the blurry photo).  This batwing shirt is one of my favorite tops, but I find it a bit difficult to wear at times.  There are only a few things I can wear it with, as the sleeves are so exaggerated.  I bought these pants a while ago and they are very comfy.  They have a slight flair at the bottom.  I rolled them to adapt to the Spring weather.  Also, they have a satin tuxedo stripe down each leg which you can't see in the photo.  I promise to keep you updated on my outfits regularly again, so don't forget to check back!

Great song for chillin out on a Sunday afternoon:

The XX- Basic Space

Can't get you out of my head

 American Apparel , Abercrombie and Fitch , Sam Edelman   

Last weekend, when I was imagining myself in outfits I don't own (is this kind of pathetic? I don't know), I thought it would be cool to pair a lace T-shirt with a pair of ripped shorts and gladiator sandals.  Since then all I can think of is whether or not this outfit will look as good on me as it does in my mind.  All of these items can be easily procured in one trip to the mall.  The only problem is which lace shirt should I buy, the floral one (pictured 1st) or the El Salvador style? Decisions, decisions-- you can help me out though, comment and tell me which one you like better.  Then I'll need to pick out some cool undergarments to wear with it.  These shorts are pretty cute; they have little sequins stitched into the rips  If I do actually get around to buying all this stuff, I post some pics and we'll see how it looks!  

PS. I think that this is a good song to kick off the weekend!
