Vintage Elle Magazine

A few months ago, my sister was vacationing in France and stumbled upon an old French Elle magazine from the 1950s at an old bookstore. Knowing how much I love fashion and appreciate vintage she bought one copy as a gift for me. Needless to say I was over-the-moon!

According to wikipedia, Elle was founded by Pierre Lazareff and his wife Hélène Gordon in 1945. The title, in French, means "She".

As I skimmed through its old and delicate pages, I really felt like owning a piece of fashion history from what is now the world's largest fashion magazine! The magazine also makes a fantastic inspiration for people in the industry, there’s lots of great fashion photography and fantastic advertisements. I was surprised to see how huge the trend of wearing plaid was back then. Fashion really goes through the same cycle huh?

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
