It's Confirmed! Michelle Obama is on Vogue's March cover!

After a lot of speculation and rumors that first lady Michelle Obama will appear on the March issue of Vogue magazine, the news has been confirmed today.

The first lady was photographed by famous photographer Annie Leibovitz at the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, where the Obamas stayed before their historic Inauguration.
Michelle Obama will be the Second first lady to be featured on the cover of Vogue after Hillary Clinton who appeared on the cover, in Dec. 1998.

For the reason Anna Wintour chose Michelle to be on the cover, she said: "Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama's election campaign, though I don't think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama's wardrobe."

The Issue, which will be released today, Michelle is wearing a Jason Wu dress, who designed her inaugural gown.

March Issue of Vogue is the Spring/Summer issue, it's one of the best and most popular issues of the year, along with September's issue. I can NOT wait to have my copy of this issue, as it also features Queen Rania in "Super Powers". This issue is going to be a HIT :D

will update you as soon as I get it.

People I want to meet...

There are some people in this world that I love and look up to because of their work, talent, looks, products, mind, vision, position and many other things.

Im going to list some of them and what would I want to ask them, advices, help,... lets see.

Lets start with Queen Rania Of Jordan. I've always been a big fan of the Queen, because of her ultimate elegance, charm, great looks, nice smile, nice taste& being gorgeous.
If I meet Q. Rania one day I'll ask her: who picks your clothes? who goes shopping with you? whats your favorite brand other than Prada? would you wear young (amatuer) designers creations? would you accept a dress, as a present, from a young Jordanian talented fashion designer? and how can I work with you? How does it feel to have your world turned upside down over a night by becoming the beautiful, great Queen you are now? I sooo would love to talk to you about this!

Tom Ford. Tom ford, hasnt only been a role model, and someone who impressed me for a LONG time, he's been like... gorgeous talented man, a geniues businessman and great visionary! If I meet him, I'll ask/tell him: I need your advice in starting a business, creating an image, how were you able to be the mastermind behind gucci for 10 years, and creating designs that remains till this day, a great success? how can you be so gorgeous at 46? would you be my mentor? and I want to tell you that I dont usualy wear suits, but looking at your mens wear line, made me want to have a suit made by you. You are such a great person, I hope I'll be able to meet you one day! :)

Anna Wintour. When you mention her name, you get the feeling that people are scared! are you that scary? Anna wintour has the ability to left a designer soooo high and make him/her so famous by one article! :D I really appreciate her support for young fashion designers, that means she appreciates talent, and is willing to help. I would like to ask you, how is it possible to run such a great huge magazine, and be this person who you are? I really admire you.

karl Lagerfeld. Ok, well I said alot of things about Tom Ford and how he is a role model, but Karl Lagerfeld falls into a totaly different category! I mean i doubt really I'll be able to describe how I look at this man. Not only it would be a dream , A REAL DREAM coming true to work with you, but cant actuly describe it :) I want to ask you, how, on earth, can your designs be so modern, so trendy, so up to date with the latest trends, yet you ALWAYS keep the CHANEL identity? each collection you amaze me, to the point where I start day dreaming! :) I've seen couple of documentaries about your work at CHANEL, I watched them a 1000 times, and I can never get enough! I salute you from the bottom of my heart, I love you, and I dream of the day I will meet you! :)

Amanda Harlech, How does it feel to be the muse of the greatest fashion house in the world? do you feel like you are the luckiest girl ever? do you actuly realize that when you wake up? when you are alone, do you say "OH MY GOD I'm the muse of Chanel and Karl" ? If you do, I wonder how that feels! I would really love to know.

Marc Jacobs, I do NOT have to remind about this, but you are the CREATIVE DIRECTOR of LOUIS VUITTON. do you realize how powerful this is? :) how does it feel to be able to walk in their Champs Elysees store and literally pick up anything and just walk out? well this is probably not comparable to being the designer of this brand, AND being able to have anything LV custom made for you! :) you are so talented and I look up to you just as much!


I'll let u know if I ever get answers to the questions and make sure not to go crazy and keep my cool when I see them. wish me luck! ;)

I want to be Victoria Beckham's daughter!

Yes, I want to be her daughter! :)

This morning on the radio, I heared that Victoria Beckham said that she would like to have a daughter! And for a second I thought, how lucky would that girl be!? :)
Fashion wise ofcourse, she will inherit, or have access to, one of the worlds best wardrobes EVER I think! :)

The first thing I thought of was her mom's collection of Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags!
Reportedly, she spent £56,000 on her Hermes bag collection. The Hermès Birkin bag is an exclusive product that costs as much as £8,000 and has a waiting list that ranges from 6 months to 6 years, depends on how well you are connected! ;)

Other things will be , her contacts in the fashion industry, her mom is friends with karl Lagerfel, Domico and Stefano, Giambattista Valli, and many many other!
she will travel with her around the world, attending front row, the biggest shows, socializing with masters of the this field.

Everything is just waiting for her! Houses in London, LA, the world will be her small town. Aside from all that, her daddy will spoil her so much because she'll be "daddy's little girl" :D

So yes, I want to be the Beckham's daughter! :D

CHANEL ...

Yesterday was the Chanel SS09 Couture show, and ofcourse Karl never disappoint us (or me at least). Every time I look at the collection I think, he is repeating himself, the famous Chanel suit, the black and white contrasts , the pastel colors, the Camellia's and so on, but every time I look at the details and see the collection again and again,I realize how much I Love it!

The more I see the details, the little details,I love it more, and this happens all the time! for every collection! :) first look I think...mmm.. its nice, but then I compleletly change my mind! :)

Maybe I like Chanel because , I'm a person who likes original, classical yet timeless designs, and ofcourse Chanel is a big example about this. I like the fact that sometimes people say about my designs "oh its very Chanel..."

Anyway, I liked the fact that this collection was all white, almost.
As Sarah Mower from Style.com put it: Karl said he'd cleared everything away and "started with a clean sheet of paper." For more about the show and pictures please click here.

Alexandra Tomlinson almost fell on the runway, and a member of the front row helped her up.

You can find more Info. and updates about Paris Fashion week on Style.com.

Till next time...

PARIS... Je t'aime!

This post is dedicated to my favorite city in the world, Paris!
Since I am a Fashion/style-holic, Paris has always been the place to be, the place where fashion dreams can come true. I've always dreamt of visiting this magical city, and last July I had the luck and great chance to visit this city.

All the time before I got there, I felt, this can not be true, is it real? am I really going to Paris? that easy? as simple as that? because for so long going there was almost... Not impossible, but very very out of reach. And I was at the Airport in Pisa Italy, waiting for boarding, and looking at all the people around me thinking, "how can they be so cool" and I am very close to jump over the seats from excitement! :P

well anyway I arrived at around noon, and headed directly to my friends house where I was going to stay, didnt see the Eiffel tower on the way, I got there, fell asleep at around 5, thinking, what am I doing sleeping in Paris, I got up, got dressed and went out directly! :)
I got the Bir Hakim ( Tour Eiffel) station, and I was walking towards the tower, and there it was, La Tour Eiffel! I was over the moon happy! and for a second I told my friend " we are in Paris , do you understand what this means" :D
and I stayed out, roamind the streets till 2 am that night! it was an out of this world feeling.

Well, The reason why I love Paris because its home of Coco Chanel, YSL, Christian Dior, Lacroix, and many many others. Reading magazines ever since I was a kid, and reading about "Paris Fashion week" made everything I love, associated to Paris. And that's how the love affair started! :)

When I was there, I passed by the Grand Palais , where Chanel have their Fashion shows, One Chanel show made the Grand Palais famous for me, was their SS 06 Haute Couture collection, with the amazing staircase in the middle, the show was magical.

So I looked inside the window and looked at the exact space where Chanel models, Chanel creations and the Master mind himself, Karl Lagerfeld walked, the place I've always only seen in magazines and on the web. That was fantastic!

Late 2007, I had ran into Giambattista Valli in Amman, Jordan (what are the chances? I KNOW!) I went over , introduced myself and talked to him for a while( it was weired, talking to him so cool!) and he gave me his email& the studio phone no. and said "whenever you are in Paris, let me know, try to make it in January, during the fashion week" and I was like thats FANTASTIC! :D so I call them later to tell them that I'll be coming to Paris during the summer and they were very nice and suggessted I got see them , the design studio , the workshop, and I was hoping to land me an intership there, now that would have been ... simply unreal! but unfortunatly, I couldnt make it, I tried to call several times, Mr. Valli was travelling for meetings , and they were off the whole month of August.

I also wanted to visit Chanel's famous workshops at the Rue Cambon, and maybe send a message to Chanel's Studio Manager Virginie Viard, telling her how much I'm in love with Chanel and maybe take me for a tour, sounds a bit crazy, no? :P but anyway I didnt, but I'm still hoping for Next time! :D

I know it is so hard to find a job in Paris, esp. in the Fashion field, BUT I'm still hoping that one day I will travel to Paris and work there, and make this dream come true!

I will be obssessing more about Chanel later on, and talk about a documentary for the brand called Signé Chanel.

Bride Wars

Yesterday I went to see the new Comdy, Bride Wars, and I LOVED it!
Its a light Movie about two in separable girlfriends, who's been planning for their perfect wedding since they were kids.

20 years later, they face the problem of having someone book their wedding dates on the same Date and Venue, and how this turns into a war, literally! :)
Its from the directors of The Devil Wears Prada, an all time favorite movie as well.

Anyhow, I also Loved Kate Hudson's wedding dress! not just LOVED it, im even obssessing a little bit about it! :P well the dress is by Vera Wang, from her Spring 2007 Collection with few changes that included different fabric for the bodice and more layers of tulle.
Well Anne Hathaway's dress was also from a previous collection by Vera Wang as well.

Those were the only pics I found for the dress from the Movie and from the Runway.



let me know what you think!
