FROM THE EDITOR
Corporate chic: Thanks to Laurel & Wolf and Z Gallerie, my home away from home is functional and fab! Below, the design plan that inspired my office project.
Time to Hit Refresh!
WELCOME THE NEW YEAR WITH COSMOPOLITAN’ S EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, MICHELE PROMAULAYKO. FOR MORE, FOLLOW @ MICHPROM.
we’ ve all heard the saying“ look the part.” Usually, it refers to dressing in a way that’ s in keeping with a role, most often a job. But as I dove into my second month as editor-inchief of Cosmo, I started to think my office needed to look the part too! After all, this space is where I hold fun staff meetings, chat with celebs who happen to drop by, and host business mavens. It needs to be comfy and operative but also look damn goood.
So I enlisted the help of Laurel & Wolf, a supercool online interiordesign service, to dream up a look for my new work digs. When I told them the vibe I was going for— sophisticated glam with an edge— they suggested turning to Z Gallerie for furnishings. Good call! I couldn’ t be more excited about how it came out. Speaking of fresh starts, with the new year fast approaching and a new president about to be sworn in, change is definitely in the air. We’ re all deciding what we want to do differently in the coming months and who we want to be when 2017 draws to a close. January is the kickoff to all those optimistic plans— and for the vast majority of resolution makers, it’ s also the finish line. But you’ re not about to let your goals end in a # Fail, right? So whether you’ re looking to take your style, career, or lust life to the next level, we have crucial advice in this issue. Even if you’ re just looking to make a few fitness upgrades, such as sculpting an epic booty, we’ ve got your ass covered there as well. We teamed up with Cosmopolitan. com to launch the Butt Challenge, a 28-day regimen that will score you the rearview results you desire.
Not quite sure where to aim your energy? You could always flip to our much-anticipated annual Bedside Astrologer for inspo. At the very least, it will hint at what the stars have in store in key areas of your life. And IMO, when you feel a little stuck, sometimes it’ s best to take a deep breath and let the universe lead the way.
Have a happy, healthy New Year! P. S. I’ d love to hear from you. Hit me up at Michele @ Cosmopolitan. com.
