Vogue

For the past few weeks I've had the great opportunity to watch the busy people of Vogue do what they do best. It was definitely an eye opener. I knew there was a lot that went on, but I didn't realize what attention to detail was put into making a magazine.

While at Vogue I got to observe how they choose which girl to use for each shoot and how they determine which editor was going to work with which model. I had the privilege of watching the photo department painstakingly finding the right location for a shoot and placing the pictures with the text so that it looks just right. I was able to watch the girls in the beauty department, and how they make sure the product is shot just the right way. It was also in that department that I discovered the treasures of beauty closet! I was even spoiled and allowed to go into the archive library and see one of the first issues of Vogue ever printed. In Accessories I had the chance to see all the hats, purses and shoes laid out so that the editors could choose what they would use on their shoots. While with the Fashion department I was even lucky enough to go on a few viewings of pre-collections with the editors.

There was so much that I got to see in the short amount of time that I was observing there. I will admit that being around the office was a little nerve rackin, but without this experience I wouldnt have had the opportunity to realizing truly how hard it is for Anna and the rest of the team at Vogue to come up with bigger and better ideas for upcoming issues.

I take my hat off to them, they most definitely are the perfect group for such a job.

Tim Walker

I just stumbled across this picture shot by Tim Walker a few months ago and was so excited to show it. Why? Well Tim is known for rarely (if ever) using photoshop, which is very unusual in his profession. This is in fact a real miniature greenhouse with miniature pots, flowers and ladder.

Oh and the green house is for sale, or so I'm told. The link below gives you all the details on how you can obtain it:

I'm not sure how good I will be at posting but I will give it a go.

The Coco Pop and I

So many of you may be familiar with my mom but I'd like to introduce you to my dad.

Meet the Coco Pop.

Trevor Haines is his name, joking around is his game. This is our song and I thought we'd share it with you. Can you tell we're related?!

P.S I don't know why but my blog has cut off half the video, better to go to youtube and watch it instead.

Who knew model Coco Rocha was such a maestro with makeup? On a recent visit toVogue’s Beauty Department, fashion’s favorite muse ventured inside our Beauty Closet—a room stocked floor-to-ceiling with every company’s newest products—to do a little summer shopping. Here’s what she found:

I’ve been to Vogue on numerous occasions, and I’ve found myself in the Fashion Closet on many of those visits. However, the other day I found the Beauty Closet. That, my friends, is a whole other ball game. . . . I never knew it even existed. I was overwhelmed. Wall-to-wall cosmetics, with every imaginable brand and product. You name it—it’s in the closet. I headed straight forSmashbox, as I have this eye shadow called Pearl that I use all the time. It’s a yellow shimmer, great for highlighting any part of your face you want to accent. Then, moving to my right, I found YSL. I already had an idea of what I wanted to try: I had to get myself a Touche Éclat—one can never have enough of that. Then there was the wall of perfumes. My mother is in love with Marc Jacobs’s fragrance, so I got her a bottle (I think she will be pleased!). I then retraced my steps and started at the very beginning of the closet—which is organized alphabetically by brand—and found myself checking out Bobbi Brown. I’ve always wanted to get that concealer palette all the makeup artists use. Not that I need all those colors, but I find myself doing my friends’ makeup quite frequently, and it will be put to good use. Next up was Chanel, which is always a good line from which to get a little bit of everything. For me, this included more concealers, the No 18 perfume, and a few eye shadows. Finally, there was Dior, where I was drawn to what looked like a small wallet with a black bow. When I opened it, it turned out to be an eye-shadow palette with black cream eyeliner, a great must-have (Jazz Club Palette in Smoky Jazz). And, of course, their new cover-up (Diorskin Nude): my new favorite thing in the entire world. There is so much more that I could go on about, but before this turns into a novel about cosmetics, I will stop!
