A few thoughts from a former Editor-in-Chief about producing the highly anticipated September issue. The biggest change? The collapse of advertising to support editorial budgets.

I missed one of the most important slides from my earlier post. When you have a job that others would kill for, a suit of armour is critical. #devilwearsprada#
The hazing when I took on my role was at a level I had never seen. Even Rogers executives were appalled- but it left me with a spine of steel to make the most of the coming years 💋 taken in Toronto, Ontario by @lisatant

Team Miranda 🙋🏼‍♀️
I spent almost nine years in a role similar to Miranda Priestley. Although the Canadian version was 10% of the salary, perks and office space, it was still really fabulous.
Go see The Devil Wears Prada 2. The cast is superb with all of the main characters back. The storyline makes sense in the digital world. And, best of all, the fashion is legit and not some non-fashion type’s vision of what fashion should be.

Sunday musings:
* Wear your best pieces for every occasion. I bought this @driesvannoten topper more than ten years ago. I wear it all the time.
* Watch for easy styling tips like the latest Dries show from Paris this week. SUPERB
* High / low styling is the most fun. I’ve paired my new Dries skirt with an old Gap denim jacket and tee
* Think like Jerry, 70, @jerryfayehall in the latest @graziauk
* Think like Yohji, 83, celebrating his birthday after his recent Paris show @yohjiyamamotoofficial
* Be political says @madamepremier It’s a privilege so use it
* Pick your partner wisely
* Live large. You get one chance, don’t waste it
* Lots of wise advice taken in Vancouver, British Columbia by @lisatant

I never lost the habit of back-to-school shopping 😂 Every fall, I buy one statement piece that I can mix throughout my wardrobe from work to weekend, with all of my basics high to low. This year, I bought a cotton pixelated pattern skirt by driesvan It’s super versatile and goes with so much of my wardrobe that I’ll have to post a part two when the weather cools down. All of the other pieces have been in my closet for more than a year 💋
I added one more option for the end of summer!

I loved working on the September issue of Flare. Every part of it was exciting - from negotiating the cover star to placing the ads and brainstorming with marketing. Here are some of my thoughts, as a former Editor-in-Chief, on Vogue’s biggest issue of the year.
