Vote on a challenge for Angie

Hi everyone! Below are the three most popular ideas from our "let's challenge Angie" thread. Please vote for one of them by submitting a reply with the numeral. We'll tabulate results on Monday night and issue the challenge on Tuesday.

1. Angie Goes Global: one outfit interpreted three different ways to reflect the style of three of Angie's favorite global cities

2. Angie's Autumn Trends: an outfit that incorporates several of the hottest fall trends, interpreted in Angie's own trademark style for REAL women

3. Angie Channels a Designer: an outfit that reflects the spirit of a certain designer's fall line. My suggestions are Marc Jacobs and Vera Wang; if you vote for this option, please feel free to suggest a designer. Angie will choose the designer from our suggestions.

Thank you, Angie, for being a good sport and agreeing to play along! This is such fun!

1 definitely sounds the most "Angie" to me and also the most interesting to see. That gets my vote. Does Angie get to pick which cities? I don't know if it's on the favorites list, but I think it would be interesting to see how she interprets Tel Aviv since it seems so different from her own style and the style of other cities. I'd be curious to see how she makes it her own. Remember, we're challenging ANGIE so I think it's okay to make it a bit harder

Okay! I like the progress! Thanks, Laura. I can count on you to NOT dilly dally about.

Do I get to pick a favourite too?

De

(Angie's interference in these threads is just cracking me up! )

I have no idea what to vote for, as I'd like to see all 3 of these challenges. Hmm...

I vote for number one, too. And Maya, I think Angie should get to pick the cities. The cities chosen would be interesting in and of themselves.

Angie, I don't think you get to vote. None of us got to vote for our challenge. :-p

Alecia, my intention was not to vote. Quite right, that would not be just! I wanted to share my favourite….right at the end if anyone was interested. But I don't need to share that either if it's silly.

I think I'm also voting for number 1. Angie always mentions how much she loves the "global element" of YLF, and personally, her streetstyle/travel posts are a favourite of mine. I think it would be really interesting to see how this one unfolds, whichever cities were chosen.

Now I'm really curious which one is Angie's favourite!

Here's another vote for no. 1. I think forum members should be able to pick one of the cities she interprets and leave the rest up to her.
And I'd love to hear Angie's favourite, but maybe after the results have been announced?

I vote #2. I am dying to see what Angie can do with the new fall looks.

Angie, I would like you to tell us at the end which one was your favorite; in fact, if your favorite doesn't get select, you could even do them both!

Steph

I vote for 1. I was torn, but I'm sure we'll get a bunch of posts from Angie on the new fall styles.

i vote for #1, but want the cities to be really obscure ones...<evil grin>

Joy

I like all the suggestions and hope Angie will share her favorite at the end. I'll vote for #3 just because I'd like to see how it's done and suggest the Vera Wang Lavender label or Fall RTW for 2009. Chanel would also be interesting for this fall (lots of Russian influence).

What do you think of a fourth challenge for consideration?
Angie is invited to the Oscars and will walk the red carpet and be photographed along with the other celebrities. I would love to see what Angie chooses from her own closet for the occasion.
Of course Angie's date Greg will be dashing in his tux that she has picked out for him.
I would love to see Angie's picture all over the media the next day with her outstanding, fabulous, red carpet look.
Fun, fun, fun.
This would be my vote, but if it is too late to add it to the list I will vote for #1.

Maya

I like that idea in theory San but I wonder if it can really be expected that someone has an Oscar-worthy dress at her disposal? Even Angie. When I think Oscars, I think the ultimate in glamor and it's one of those things where you would buy the dress *just* for that occasion, not pick something from your closet. Although now I too want to know what Angie would wear

I'm also thinking in terms of what would make the best blog post. I foresee plenty of posts on upcoming fall trends...some of which Angie might model for us, like her spring update posts :).

The global style posts seem to be very popular, both with us and Angie herself! Now, of course, I cannot speak for Angie, but I want her to have fun and enjoy the challenge and knowing how much she enjoys travel and worldwide style, I just thought it would suit her the best. I am fine with her picking the cities, or us picking one city and her picking the other two. Whatever works. As long as each city really has a distinct style so they don't overlap too much.

I am torn and would be thrilled with any of the challenges but if I have to choose it is #
3. Coco Chanel, any era. I know it is right up her alley but I think she would pull out all the stops. I would love to see what she creates.

Anonymous

Yes GG I would love to see Angie channel something Coco Chanel but the wording in the challenge being about a "fall line" threw me off.
Maya, perhaps the Oscars is the wrong event for the reasons you give, but I would love to challenge Angie in a way to have her ultimately decked out in the Angie way. I would love to see that.

Oh San, you are right, I missed the "fall" part. I guess I would vote to not specify season. That probably confuses things more.
As I said, whatever gets the most votes will be just perfect.

I vote #1. I'm always very interested by Angie's posts on "global style," and love to check out blogs like the Sartorialist and Jak and Jil to see what other people are wearing in other countries (even though the photos aren't always of "everyday" people). I would love to see Angie's interpretation of 3 different cities. Does it have to be one outfit though? Wouldn't it have to be 3 separate outfits to reflect the differences in style of those places?

EDIT: Oh, I think I misunderstood the challenge. You mean one outfit interpreted 3 ways meaning one outfit for each of the three cities, right? Sorry if I'm being obtuse (like a triangle!).

I, too, vote for #1 in honor of YLF's global community. I always enjoy Angie's travel reports from different cities around the globe. Any variation of the global challenge is fine with me.

sinead

I'll vote for #3, just because I would love to see her take on some of the designers mentioned. At first, I was gung ho for #2, but then realized she'll be posting about those soon.

Angie, you're a sport for agreeing to this!

devin

I vote for #3. I would like to see to maybe Alexander McQueen, Badgley Mischka, and Oscar De la Renta.

I vote #1, I think that challenge sounds very Angie. My vote for the cities are Paris, Milan and Hong Kong.

April

Number one gets my vote.

A.) it's THREE outfits, and I always love Angie's photos of herself.

B.) I agree with Steph, presenting the fall looks will be done exquisitely in Angie's blog posts.

C.) With clothing as with food, I'm more interested in what people are actually doing in their day-to-day lives than in the rare and spectacular. I don't really want to know, for example, the ten-page recipe for a breathtaking haute cuisine dish, but adore discovering something wonderful and good for you that can be made at home without a staff and a professional kitchen. So too with clothing. Give me something I can learn from over a designer fantasy any day.

What can I say, I'm a practical woman...

Thanks for the input, ladies. Never a dull moment :0)

Laura, when will you draw the vote to a close and when can I spill MY beans. I am bursting at the seams with what I want to share about ALL the challenges that have been mentioned, and the ones that have NOT been mentioned (on this thread too):

I also vote for #1.

I would love to see #2, but I agree with April (and everybody else) - I am quite sure that it will be covered in the blog posts anyway.

And of course, now I am dying to hear what Angie thinks of the challenges! Can we close the vote sooner, so that Angie can spill the beans? (just kidding)

HannahC

Forgot to say - I would be thrilled if one of these cities is Tel-Aviv, and another one is Paris ... Just saying ...

April

Veteran

How about [insert any medium-sized city in the US with a reputation for bad style -- you know who you are].

What would you give to see Angie in ankle-length capris, a slightly oversized crewneck tee with a bar logo on it, a shapeless nylon windbreaker, crocs, and a fanny pack?

Okay, that's giving me an anxiety attack. Back to reality...

I would love to see 3 but with a limited budget, because, as we all know, that's the difficult part!

So far it's 12 votes for #1, one vote for #2, and 5 votes for #3. As it looks like we have a clear winner, I will close the vote sooner ... I was going to wait for tonight, but let's say noon today, so people who've been gone over the weekend have a chance to vote.
