the little black shoe

there's just something about a simple black sole.

rollin with the homies

i love the photos that tommy ton sporadically snaps of models and editors soldiering through fashion week. it's the mob mentality of my friends are more fabulous than yours  that have me so captivated and yearning to one day foray onto the Tuileries with my girlfriends, all clad in black, balenciaga and ysl.

Emmanuelle Alt is the new Carine Roitfeld

i'm going to swim with the tides and also make my own special announcement (already posted here, here, & here) that Vogue Paris' fashion director EMMANUELLE ALT is now stepping up & taking the vacant space that CARINE ROITFELD left as editor in chief, effective February 1. this comes as no surprise. Alt has been with the mag since late 2000, and after ten years of doing such a great job, she's finally getting to have her name at the top of the masthead in the April issue of Vogue Paris. wow, there IS such thing as moving up in the magazine world. i now have hope.

i've always loved her style, as seen in one of this blog's earlier posts, here. but in spirit of this new news, i'll do homage to Emmanuelle, part deux.
