21 Things I'm loving in Glamour

Well, as I mentioned here, my favorite magazine is Glamour, and according to my readers, at least the ones who participated on the poll, they agreed; 70% of voters preferred Glamour. The other votes were equally divided in 10% for Cosmopolitan, Lucky, Allure, and Self. So to show my devotion [and also my lack of something to do around here] and to give my readers a sneak peek, if they haven't bought it or received it yet. Here are my favorite things for September's issue.

 

1. Tiffany and Co.'s ad. It isn't new but I love those damn little keys!
2. Calvin Klein jeans's ad. It has Eva Mendes on it, what's not to love?
3. Coco Chanel's ad for Coco Mademoiselle. Keira Knightley looks ah-ma-ZING! Just completely flawless.
4. Givenchy's new fragance ad. I think the name of it is Play. However, this is a must have for any men in your life, OK, maybe not your dad or your brother. It smells like sex waiting to happen. Buy it.
5. "206 Ways to Dress Chic Now". Just looking at the pages was fascinating.
   
6. "The Real Way to Romance a Guy". I actually rethought a couple of things.
7. "Think You've Had a Bad Date?" I was literally laughing out loud!
8. "Crazy but Genius Ways to Get a Job Now". This one's a must read.
9. "Seven Right-Now Rules for Being Happier at Work". Goes hand-in-hand with #8.
10. This month "Hey, it's ok!" Have I mentioned this is my favorite section? It is, I love it.
11. "Life Do's and Don'ts From the Youngest Female Senator". WOW! She suddenly became my hero.
12. "Life, Death and What You Owe a Friend:". This story had me crying for a while, and it makes me sad just to think of it.
13. I'm not a huugee fan of Jessica Simpson, but her interview is worth reading. Oh, btw I love her shoes!
14. "You Can Afford It!" This makes me want to get my shop on. No worries, I know I can't...for now.
15. "Twilight Beauty". Forget Team Edward, or Team Jacob or whatevs. This ladies are the ones we should be teaming up with. I was joking about forgetting about Team Edward and Jacob. Jijiji.
16. "Secret's of Happy Couples". Awwww. Note to self: memorize all of this.
17. "How to Dress Like a Woman in Charge". Ok, the only thing I need to say is that Diane Kruger is the model for this. I love her, and she is fab on this.
18. "Your Money!" [An Exclusive Glamour Guide]. Read this, learn it, and do it.
19. The article "Sex With a Stranger", is both fascinating and scary at the same time.
20. "How to do Anything Better Guide". This recipes OMG, they made me soooo hungry!
21. "10 Little Things to Add to Your Life List". I love these little things.

Designer on my Thoughts

Balmain

With the wide, padded shoulders trend everywhere, is barely impossible not to be thinking about Balmain. The amazing label carries the name of its original designer, Pierre Balmain. Pierre founded his house in 1945 right after WWII. European royalty and Hollywood stars, like Katherine Hepburn admired his looks. Sadly, Balmain passed away in 1982, his assistant Erik Mortensen took over until 1993. This was when Oscar de la Renta came in the picture. After that, there were financial hardsips, more designers, financial help, etc. Today, its current designer is Chrsitophe Decarnin, who has been working there since Fall 2006.

Balmain's product line includes handbags, shoes, fragrance, and jeans. Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow are current clients. You can find more about Balmain here. Below are three pictures of his Fall 09-10 collection.

Aren't those pieces must-haves??! They're so wearable, like I could just put them on right now! I'm so in love with this brand. Here are some Polyvore sets from fashionistas who also love him.

Yves Saint Laurent

This designer has been popping here and there all week long, so it was essential that I write this post about Yves Saint Laurent. The Milanese designer, Stefano Pilati, is the brains behind all these amazing objects.

 

Stefano Pilati 

The label has product lines such as beauty, fragrances, eye wear, handbags, accessories, clothing and of course shoes! Some of his clients include Dita Von Teese and Renee Zellweger. You can click here to find out more about Yves Saint Laurent. 

Here are some pictures of the items that have been really popular lately. 

  

Cage Boot

Those cage booties are everywhere!!! It's so cute that I found the matching belt, or should I say, Cage Belt? Here are some Polyvore sets also, that feature the boots, so you can get an idea of how to wear them, or not!
