Joanna Coles editor in chief of Marie Claire for past 8 years, one time reality tv star and of course are occasional project runway judge,mentor and one time client is involved in the next shake up Which is the biggest of the year so far! By the way all these shake ups are really giving me major head ache! 2012 will totes be known as the year that wouldn't stand still! So back to topic Joanna Coles is leaving Marie Claire for Cosmopolitan! Really she must have gotten major salary boost cause I would never have left marie claire one of the top intl fashion mags ( even though i never read it and kinda of mock it for being like so insignificant and dosnt compare with vogue,elle and the baazar!) for cosmopolitan! So this leaves us with a vacant position at marie claire and an unemployed former editor of cosmopolitan! Heres there statement "(coles) great success in television and social media, her sharp instinct about women and what they want, and her experience working on a global brand make her an ideal choice for the editor role of cosmo," just as i was typing that statement i thought wonder what nina will do with joanna then I thought omg Nina should totes be editor! then maybe i'll take nina's job ;)
Another week another scandalous Karl Lagerfied comment, and this time involving Pippa Middleton! What he had to say was quite bitchy as always, he allegedly said "kate middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back" so basically karl loves everything bout kate and thinks Pippa is ugly but has a nice bum! Don't know if I agree with Karl on this one cause Im totes in love with pippa and I can sort of get what he means about her face because at times it doesn't look good but most of the time she's fabulously styled and looks totes stunning, her look is so "London Posh Girl" and i'm totes in love with that! I always take much pleasure in reading Karls quotes if he published a book of them totes gonna be best seller ;)
Finally a reason to watch the absolute cheese feast that gives me such a headache, GLEE! I never watch it due to the amount of cringe it cause's me but now that the one the only Sarah Jessica Parker one of my fav style icons is making a cameo as the editor of vogue.com I will be certainly tuning in. But theres more not only will SJP be in Glee as the editor of vogue.com i mean could it get better? Well the greatest woman like eva, Anna Wintour will be styling her!!!!! :O So yes this is major deal! The character is described as being "sort of frazzled,eccentric and hilarious" how fab does that sound! This news as really got me totes excited and cant believe im saying that I cant wait for glee which will be airing in september 13th so I may have to wait a while before watching due to fashion season, glee certainly isn't a priority ;)
