And while I vowed to get back in the swing of all things vintage, I am still incredibly grateful to Madewell for making it even easier.

Valentino’s been an utter disaster since Valentino left. So yesterday the company announced they were bringing back Carlos Souza, the former model and current PR whiz to whip it back into shape.
