I would love to shop in the Vogue accessories closet. Working in the retail industry for ten years made me appreciate fashion. A replica of the closet was created in the movie The Devil Wears Prada. I’ve always wondered, “How can I go shopping in the Vogue accessories closet, and not get caught?” I’m still working on my master plan!
