la mode est une religion, en voici la bible

I looooooove fashion, and I so enjoyed The September Issue.  What a treat to get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Vogue, especially the record-breaking September 2007 issue! Grace Coddington was perhaps the most fascinating person in the movie; this is a great article to read in conjunction with the movie.  

Of course, I was also watching the interiors.  Many of the Condé Nast offices are more utilitarian than anything else, but there are flashes of fabulous.  Anna Wintour's office chairs bear a striking resemblance to these Tolix cafe chairs. Do you think they are comfortable?  (It's not like Anna has any padding of her own.  As I ate my movie popcorn, I wondered whether she's ever let a kernel of such pass her lips!)  Anyhoo, I've totally been trying to talk my sister into using these as indoor dining chairs in her very casual breakfast area, but she's not convinced just yet.  Don't worry; she'll see the light eventually!

slightly off topic, but so what?

This might be slightly off topic, but hey, I promised to blog about all things chic ... and I do love fashion, whether it's for home, myself or my children.  I just feel so much better when everything is in order and attractive.  It's a problem being a perfectionist!  I still dress my twin boys alike (I know, I know, when they are old enough to tell me they don't want to dress alike, I won't make them), and when they were babies, I would have to change them both if one spit up.   My issues haven't gotten better as they've gotten older; it about killed me to send them to summer camp in screen-printed t-shirts!  The good news is that I've already marked my calendar for the Divine Children's Show, which - this fall - is filled with trunk show and boutique overstocks only.  It's October 8th and 9th here in Charlotte.  Check out their website at www.dcskids.com for more details!
