The start of her career first began\u00a0as\u00a0a\u00a0writer for Bazaar\u00a0 (we all wish our modest beginnings could start there&#8230;), where she wrote her much renowned column titled &#8220;Why Don&#8217;t You&#8220;. There, she established her own position and perspective of fashion and the lifestyle of women: there was no need to lead a boring, un-fabulous life. Rather, the world of fashion was interesting &amp; meant to be explored. As was life. Thus, she would ask, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you own twelve diamond roses of all sizes?&#8221;, even prodding further to ask &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you be ingenious &amp; make yourself into something else?&#8221; Pourquoi pas? So why not? Why not ask yourself such questions, materialistic, deep, or simply just for fun? And why not actually do them (if tangible, of course)? Why Don&#8217;t You&#8230; &#8230;splurge on that Louboutin boot you&#8217;ve been pining for? &#8230;allocate your first paycheck toward a fund for that delicious, black Prorosus 35cm Birkin? &#8230;call sick into work\/school, bring out the truffles &amp; chocolates, and indulge while watching a whole season of Gossip Girl or SATC?&hellip;","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/lacouturiernyc.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/11\/why-dont-you1.jpg"}
