Chanel

One of the perks of having my car on campus is that I finally got to go downtown to see the movie Coco before Chanel. I've been waiting to see this movie forever fearing by the time I could see it would be out of theaters, but finally I got to! The movie not only tells the life of Coco before she started her fashion career but it's also in French, you truly grasp how she lived, felt and acted because you get see everything in French. It's a love story, a story about courage, a sad story, and the whole time you really fall in love with Coco (Audrey Tautou is wonderful as Coco), you fall in love with the way she started to wear men's suits, and clothing to go horse back riding, how she never wore a corset so that she could actually breathe, and how she glowed elegance with her hair tied up looking like a man.
Please go see this when you can!

I have never been a big fan of shoes of any kind, I don't like spending money on shoes but I could never really tell you why. For some reason I have decided I'm in love. With heels and boots to be exact. By who? Jeffery Campbell, the new love of my life.

Sunday consisted of a private screen of The September Issue, a documentary about Anna Wintour and the making of the September issue of Vogue. I was so anxious to see this movie and loved every minute of it. The movie shows you the ins and outs of the Vogue offices, and gives you an insight to Anna's life. I absolutely adore Anna and would die if I met her, but I have to say the movie reminded me of The Devil Wears Prada, only real. Anna was portrayed to be very cold, and not inviting to anyone she did not need in her life, which is how I imagined the editor of Vogue to be. However, I still love her.

Which reminds me Happy Birthday Anna Wintour!

I had the most amazing time, and learned so much from each seminar- my favorite being the seminar with Aoife Wasser, along with the seminars Teen Vogue gave us a bunch of free stuff including a Le Sport Sac tote bag filled with magazines, books, samples of make-up and perfumes and more! Teen Vogue did the most amazing job putting everything together, they even had events at night one being at Juicy Couture and the other at H&M, it was nonstop fun. Everyone that has the opportunity to apply and go next year defiantly should, it really did change my life.

I love you Teen Vogue

Teen Vogue Fashion U: Canon Brand Ambassador

Finally, here come the Teen Vogue Fashion U posts, I'm going to separate them since there is so much I need to tell you guys!

First I want to tell you all about being a Canon Brand Ambassador! I'll give you the short story - I was choosen with five other girls from all over the country (and Canada and Puerto Rico!). We all had to go to a meeting at the Teen Vogue offices the day before Fashion U started, of course I was extremely nervous and had no idea what to expect. I walked up to of course, a huge office building with "four times square" written on the side along with Condé Nast sign, walked in got my name tag and went straight up to the 10th floor. The elevator ride was so nerve racking, names like Vogue, GQ, Allure and more are along side Teen Vogue which covers two floors each shared with a different magazine (GQ and Allure). I waited in the gorgeous all white lobby between Allure and Teen Vogue with the other girls waiting to go in, watching the most fashionable people I've ever seen walk in and out of the doors.

Finally we were allowed in and went right into a conference room where we got to pick a brand new Canon Powershot SD1200, they were laid out along with a Jennifer Behr headband that matched. I picked the dark grey camera and headband (so it would match all my outfits better). We got instructions about what to do over the course of the weekend - basically take pictures of anything and everything, and wear our headbands everyday so all the students at Fashion U would know who we were.

The best part? We got to keep both the camera and headband, secretly I was more excited about the headband!

more to come of Teen Vogue Fashion U!
