10 REASONS I LOVE ANNA WINTOUR

 Before I start this post, I must share that we are having yet another massive snow storm here, errrrrr, another 10-15" expected with high winds and a temp of 19 degrees!!!!! Have y'all sensed my over this yet? The snow is piling up and the icicles on my eves are as long as my arm. I feel like I may be in a snow prison soon!!!! But it is pretty, I must admit, and I'm staying warm....like Anna....

Love her or hate her, Anna Wintour has definitely put her stamp on the fashion industry not only in the U.S but all over the world. Condé Nast announced that Anna Wintour would become the “artistic director” of the company and that she will be a consultant on editorial decisions with all of Condé Nast titles. Not only is she going to oversee Condé Nast’s fashion titles but their general interest publications as well which include Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker.

Already a institution in the fashion world as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, one of the largest fashion publications in the world Anna Wintour become a pop cultural icon in 2006 with the release of "The Devil Wears Prada" starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. I have always loved Anna which as you can imagine people's looks!!!! And the documentary September Issue is very entertaining to watch, I highly recommend seeing that.

 

 

1- Her creativity. Her ides for fashion spreads, with help of Grace Coddington are downright stunning. And her ideas and creativity have turned Vogue back into a powerhouse legend.

 

2- Anna is a very discipline woman; she has a routine that she follows every day: She is up before 6 am, plays tennis; she has her hair and makeup done and then she gets to Vogue's offices by 8:00 am. Sounds like my day...except the tennis. I have a work out routine I do.

3- She rarely stays at parties for more than 20 minutes at a time and gets to bed by 10:15 every night. I love that, She leaves a fashionable impression most likely and getting to bed that time gives one plenty of sleep...no wonder she looks so good. Sleep is important in aging.

4- Girlfriend  is a huge fan of “Fur” and let’s just say she is not PETA’s favorite person. While I am mixed on fur, I must admit to buying a few fur scarves, they are extremely warm in this harsh winter this year. If the animal is used for not only fur but also for other uses like food I'm fine, but killed just for fur, that's another story. But she does look great in it and can pull it off. She may have even dinned on a few PETA members.

 

5- Anyone, anyone, who can tell Oprah Winfrey to dropped the sweet rolls, back away from the table and dump the weigh to be on a cover of a magazine and she does it....that's pretty damn powerful, and a miracle.

6-She has been wearing her signature hair style ( a bob ) since she was 14 years old (she is 63 now), if you are doing the math in your head that’s 49 years, wow…now that’s impressive! And how sure she is not to give into a hair trend.

 

7- Anna Wintour is known for her unique editorial style of being aloof and demanding perfection from people who work for her. I think it's great to want perfection in the workplace and work, I can appreciate that in my line of work.

 

8- Having been dub the "unofficial mayoress' of New York City by The Guardian, Wintour is widely recognized as a power broker. Can you even imagine her tell New Yorkers their getting a dress code!!!!

9- Anna has been known to throw her weight around for causes she deems worthy like when she ordered Donald Trump to let Designer Marc Jacobs use the ballroom at the Plaza Hotel.

 

10- As of 2005 it was reported Anna's annual salary was at $2 million with perks like a chauffeured Mercedes, $200,000 thousand dollars shopping allowance, and the Coco Chanel Suite at the Hotel Ritz in Paris while attending the European Fashion Weeks,  and an interest free $1.6 million loan from Conde Nast to buy her new townhouse in Greenwich Village. Who wouldn't love that!!!! She's good.

ok so there is an extra one... 11- and I love her most for not giving the Kardashians the time of day. You can tell she is repelled by them and their morals and lifestyle, and I love Anna even more for not letting that fat ass Kim on a cover, and lets face it, who wants to waste extra print and paper and buy a double issue to even fit her ass on a single cover!!!! And love that she snubs her at events. That's my REAL LOVE for her!!!
