pickI couldn‘t sleep last night so I decided to finish this one. I‘ve been trying to do better about reading nonfiction and next year that is going to be a reading challenge I do for myself. Kinda wish I‘d saved this one for that but it‘s all good. This was a really well written and insightful read. It‘s also part of Time magazine #Times100bestreadsof2022
Yes, im in the midst of 3 other audiobooks but I‘m not feeling them …so I‘m following a recommendation from @DivineDiana and listening to this one ♥️🎧 So far, im loving it!!!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was fun, and very much in keeping with my current streak of gossipy nonfiction. I know very little about Anna Wintour except for the character based on her from The Devil Wears Prada., but thought the author did a nice job of fairly portraying her and putting some of her decisions in context. If you also enjoy gossipy nonfiction, this is worth a read!
pickEver since I was a teen and devoured fashion magazines, my dream job was to be the editor of Vogue Magazine (USA). It was Anna Wintour‘s dream job as well. This is a well researched book about what it takes to make that happen, and what is necessary to hold on to that crown. Her father was a prominent journalist, and she wanted him to be proud. A peek into the life of corporate wealth where your wildest ideas come to life. I loved it! #booked2022
“Developing a creative eye or developing taste,I think that‘s something that you have within you from a very early age but it is also something you can develop through exposure to culture, to the arts,through reading,visiting museums, looking at what‘s going on in the world around you.
Creative exposure,cultural exposure, I think it is so important to spend as much time on that as you possibly can.”

“Anna was also particular about the food, though at tastings, she barely tasted. “She would make sure it looked beautiful,”said Winston Wolkoff. She banned chives,garlic,onions,and parsley,which get stuck in your teeth and make your breath smell.”
The Met Gala is over, but I can‘t wait to dig into this book about the current Queen of Fashion, Anna Wintour! Hot off the presses, I was so happy that my local Library system had purchased two copies. Lucky me. One was available! #librarylove
