Anna & Grace

I am not fashionable or trendy.

But I harbor a deep love of fashion.

And my inner fashionista gets downright giddy at the end of August.

I've bought the September issue of Vogue every year since I was a teenager.

The hundreds of pages of ads and articles offer a breathtaking glimpse into a beautiful fantasy world.

For me, reading this issue is a total escape. I find a distraction-free time to just sit and dissect every image, studying the models from the heels of their shoes to the coiffed ends of their hair.

Tonight I caught the BBC documentary about the 2007 issue.

What an absolute treat!

Knowing how much care and respect for fashion goes into every editorial decision makes me relish the experience even more.
