I'm reading The Devil wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger, it's a real good read for all the fashonistas of today(I must admit I'm one of them).It makes you realise that all the designer shoes, bags and clothes can not make up for true happiness. This girl out of college basically gets a job as the assistant to the editor of Runway, the biggest fashion magazine of the world.The editor is a complete b*tch(hence the title) and this poor girl has to cope with her attitde, rudeness and lack of appreciation. I can't put it down!

lol...and this book if I'm not mistaken has made ms. weisberger an outcast amongst fashion journalist, because it's said to be about Anna Wintour (big chica of Vogue)...

 

[caala a.]

wuthering heights- emily bronte- a classic ( well i'm a senior majoring on comparative literature- what would you expect? i finish a book every week

 

[lainey_b]

I didn't know that fashion insider, do you think it's true? I don't know what Anna Wintour is like myself but if it is true , talk about a slap in the face!
