I don’t think this person requires an introduction. However for those of you who have been living under a rock this is Carine Roitfeld. If however, you still can’t recall who she is, do the words glamazaon, the French Anne Wintour, cold hearted fashion bitch, and style extraordinaire ring a bell? Carine Roitfeld is after all the lady who marches through Paris in Yves Saint Laurent pumps creating the next big look. Her style is something I have always admired. Perhaps it is the tendency that she has to stick with neutrals, rather then opting for brighter colors. Or perhaps it is her chic, classic style which has the defined the Parisian look. Sometimes she also sports the Paris street style look which is the reason for her continues appearance on blogs such as jak&jil. Nevertheless whatever it is, I love, as you may have guessed, her style. Wearing black all the time isn’t hard; as a matter of fact most people do follow this trend. But the ability to wear black with coquettish elegance is a talent many people cannot attain. No wonder she is the editor-in-chief of French Vogue. 2010 will mark her 10^th anniversary as the editor.

Table Books

We all have our favorite books, but what about table books? Aren't the fun? i mean all of the glamorously chic pictures which can inspire even the most uninspired person.

this one is a classic. it has pictures by some of the most noted photographers from around the fashion world.

You have followed his blog, copied his pictures, and now you can have his book. yup the sartorialist is out with a book. YAY. i am actually really excited that this book is out. cant wait to get my hands on a copy when i have time to make a trip down to Barnes and Noble.

A know how to careers in the fashion world. a must for every girl (and guy) who plans to throw her (him) self into the hands of the devil. HA.

how can you NOT like this book? i mean come on, need i say more?

when i was little my parents helped stimulate my brain by showing me Louis Vuitton monograms. LOL. the other ones (the black and white polka dots brain stimulator's) are very nauseating. do you get what i am trying to say here?

The true fashionistas of the world. well there are other girls, but these two have been working since they were in their diapers. did you know New York magazine named MK as one of the most powerful women in Hollywood? wow.
