One of my personal goals this year was to begin reading on a regular schedule again.  I used to read a couple of books per week, but now I’m lucky if I can read half of a book in a week.    I still go to Borders and buy new books frequently.  Most of these [...]

It’s a lazy day for me and I’m on my way to a ball game, so I thought I’d leave with some musings:
What I’m Reading: In the Woods by Tana French.  It’s our current book club selection and I have until Monday to read all 400 something pages.  I started on Friday evening and now [...]

If you haven’t seen it already, Vogue Paris has created a very impressive 64-page spread in their August issue featuring 64 looks from 64 brands.  Each of the looks represents what the brand embodies and in my opinion, they do it quite well.   Shot by Inez and Vinoodh, the brands range from Balmain to Chloe [...]

As many people know, Vibe magazine, which was launched by Quincy Jones in 1993, shut down immediately on Tuesday.  There was a statement from Vibe Editor-in-Cheif Danyel Smith that was released  about the closing of the magazine:

So it seems the cover of the  Vogue May issue traditionally  features models has been revealed.  Liya Kebede, Natalia Vodianova, Anna Maria Jagodzinska. Isabeli Fontana, Stone, Jourdan Dunn, Raquel Zimmerman, Caroline Trentini, and Natasha Poly are the chosen ones to grace the cover.  To tell the truth, I’m not surprised by the [...]

Chicago Social magazine is a part of the Modern Luxury magazine group and I can usually find it throughout the city for free in various locations.  It’s not a magazine that I keep an eye out for, but I grab it when I think to do so.  Well I was looking through last month’s issue, [...]

Right on the heels eight Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire, the lovely Freida Pinto graces the cover of Vogue India.   Clothing by Louis Vuitton, makeup is by Gucci Westman.   However, I think the scene stealer is the beautiful necklace she has on.   Hopefully I can get my hand on a copy.   Also, below is [...]

I heard the rumors about Michelle Obama appearing on the cover of Vogue magazine, but I didn’t pay much attention to them.   As stated in my previous post, I haven’t really read an entire issue of American Vogue magazine  in ages, and I’ve found other alternatives and I’ve gotten fashion fixes in places such as  [...]
