I admit that I’m hooked- I actually look forward to the end of my weekends now! I realized how bad it was when my DVR mistakenly recorded Rubicon instead of this week’s episode. Luckily, Mad Men fanatics like myself can get their 1960’s fix through other outlets as well… like Natasha Vargas-Cooper’s new book, inspired by her blog dedicated to dissecting references from the show. Even Maidenform is hip to the craze- Mad Men’s costume designer referenced Maidenform’s ‘I Dreamed I’ campaign in her style book and is now working on promoting the brand. Brilliant!

I worked at Mademoiselle magazine from 1995 to 2000, right before Conde Nast sadly shuttered its doors. It saddens me that it’s now been almost ten years since it’s been in publication. Of course I have all of the issues from when I was an editor there saved {at my parents’ house- sorry mom!} but I’ve also bought many vintage issues over the years, some of which I’m selling on eBay. {We have to make room for the newest addition to the family two months from now!}

My faves are this one, for it’s gorgeous and totally unique cover, and this one because of the great fashion career articles….

Riccardo Tisci drew inspiration from Frida Kahlo and her fixations with religion, sensuality, and human anatomy to create Givenchy’s elaborate, ornate Fall 2010 couture collection. Isn’t it amazing?
