Helene M. Fashion Blog

Last week I set off on a fabulous vacation with my husband to the Dominican Republic.  While waiting to board our connecting flight in Newark I spied a conspicuously chic woman looking very much like Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, ready to pre-board our flight. As my second glance turned into full on gawking, it hit me that this was the real deal!  Ms. Anna Wintour in the flesh!  Only a few feet in front of me. We locked eyes, designer sunglasses shaded hers, but who would expect less? (Probably Prada, right?)  We stood a moment, face to face.  I believe it was adoration that flowed from me to her and I do believe she basked in it, before turning with complete composure to be seated in first class, of course. While my moment with the famous editor was brief and albeit undocumented, my husband noticed on our arrival to the DR that a golf cart on the tarmac was awaiting a passenger, so we waited for the fashion editor extraordinaire to exit the plane.  Ms. Wintour de-planed and de-layered, her tiny frame alert with purpose (clad in Hermes orange top and lizard loafers). Then, voila, whisked away a la golf cart.  Not before I got some photos of her, though!  Just had to share them with you all… And my vacation, ladies, was delightful!
