okay, this may be a little controversial.

I really, really enjoy that we have a gorgeous first lady that wears more than just an Oscar de la Renta suit from the 90s or has no real fashion sense. Really, I do. I think Michelle Obama is wonderful, and definitely has a great sense of style.

But why are her daily fashion choices big fashion news?

Literally, every single day, I see a post that goes something like... "Omg, Michelle Obama wore J. Crew yesterday!" or "Michelle seen popping her collar at blah blah blah event."

I just don't understand why this is such a big deal. When she picked that gorgeous white Jason Wu dress for the Inaugural Ball, that was news. Mostly because all of the fashion elite was competing for her choice of design and the chance for her to wear it at one of the biggest events in our country when celebrating a newly elected President. But before that I swear I read hundreds of posts about every stinking detail leading up to the big reveal.

Dare I ask again, why?

She graced the cover of Vogue last March, and now the upcoming Glamour issue. She looks to die for, but I hope we can stick to that as the coverage of her fashion sense rather than a daily tidbit that really does not matter in the slightest. I know she's great, but I don't care what she wore to the Bronx yesterday or to the World Series Game. Thanks.

not too sure.

The new cover of November Vogue has surfaced.

Honestly, I love Annie Leibowitz. But these women are seriously gorgeous. Why all the blatant airbrushing? For real.

I'm pretty much obsessed with all the gowns, and with Marion Cotillard...and with the musical Nine [the reason for the four seemingly random girls to appear on the same cover], even though it isn't out yet.

I guess I'm just partial to Carine's idea. Models on covers, not celebrities. Ugh.

the most ridiculous thing i think i've ever heard.

We've all heard the rumors. Fresh new college graduate with big dreams [soon to be me...terrified screams...] walks into the offices of his/her dream job for an interview, probably sweating bullets or about to cry.

Now for my sake, and for this post, let's pretend you are walking into the 12th floor of 4 Times Square. Aka, the fashion mecca itself...Vogue Magazine.

If you've gotten this far, you must be some kind of goddess. Or at least done something right for the past 15 years of your life.

However, to my shock, a recent interview with Anna Wintour [if you don't know who that is, you should either a) look it up or b) stop reading this blog] that came out has her saying that she actually interviews people that have never read Vogue in their lives...

...

I've totally heard that joke. Not reading/knowing anything about the job that you are attempting to get. But seriously. You're going to walk into the office of Anna Wintour and just pretend to know what you're talking about? Do you wish to leave with a) a job or b) your head still attached to your body?

Oh, I'd like to show these girls a thing or two...or seventeen. I'm offended. With 2 f's.

overkill?

So Fashion's Night Out was last week. And I babbled on and on...and on about it.

However, all the good stuff from the night has slowly been coming out, and it's only fair that I let you all in on the stuff I find right?

I mean you are reading my blog, after all.

Here's a video from my mecca, Vogue, recaping some of the highlights. Although I'm not sure you can get better than Oscar, Bette, Barbara and SJP singing...maybe.
