No. No. Noooooooo!!!

I just read this on The Zoe Report and I am hoping it's not true!

Is Karl Lagerfeld Retiring?

Karl Lagerfeld


According to reports by Page Six, Karl Lagerfeld may draw the curtain on his illustrious career after Chanel’s upcoming Cruise show in Cuba next month. Rumored to be 83 years old, the designer began his work at Chanel in 1983 and Fendi in 1965 and also found time to design for beloved French brand, Chloe. In today’s current climate of designer musical chairs, Lagerfeld remains somewhat of an anomaly, designing multiple collections a year for Chanel, Fendi and his namesake line, while also acting as photographer for all of his campaigns and additional editorials. Insiders claim the powerhouse is getting tired (who can blame him), but Lagerfeld has never hinted at a desire to retire and we wouldn’t be surprised if he followed in the footsteps of Coco Chanel, who remained at the helm of the company until she passed away in 1971. Regardless, all eyes will be on his Cuban fashion show on May 3rd.

Christmas Wish List ~ Coffee Table Books

I adore beautiful coffee table books.
In fact they are one of the few things I collect.
This year I have four coffee table books on my Christmas list.
Any of these books make a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys fashion and style, as well as the perfect gift for yourself.



The Little Black Jacket, Chanel's Classic Revisited By Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld

I am pretty much obsessed with Carine Roitfeld and everything she does. My Christmas List is topped with this gorgeous book celebrating Chanel's little black jacket. Her partnership with Karl Lagerfeld always yields the spectacular, and this glorious tome will not disappoint.
Order it here: The Little Black Jacket

Oscar De La Renta, The Style, Inspiration And Life of Oscar De La Renta

Somewhat bittersweet with his recent passing, this updated version of the 2002 book celebrates Oscar de la Renta's milestones in the world of fashion and style.

“Oscar completely understands who he is and who he is dressing… He’s never tried to be avant-garde or difficult. He just does really good clothes, never overtly sexy but attractive, colorful, and feminine,”  Anna Wintour.

Over 160 images in a beautiful hard slipcase.

Laetitia Casta and Choupette Lagerfeld

Some days I merely enjoy crazy,
other days I beyond delight in it!

Laetitia Casta and Choupette Lagerfeld

And this has so many layers of crazy attached
that it is completely making my day!

Model Laetitia Casta stars along with 
Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette,
in this BDSM inspired story in V Magazine,
styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele.
I honestly can't stop laughing - its so ridiculous!


Apparently "the girls are doing BDSM on each other"
and I also read that in describing the shoot
the term "incestuous bestiality" was used.
Hahaha!! The madness of it!!

I don't know if I feel more sorry for Laetitia or Choupette??
The best part is the look on that poor cat's face.

Laetitia Casta and Choupette Lagerfeld BDSM
The only thing that would have made me laugh harder
is if they had old Uncle-Creepy Terry Richardson shoot it
and used Cindy Crawford, so that she could bang on some more about how she is so happy to have been modeling 
back when it was still meaningful.
 
This makes me feel so mind-bendingly sane...
