Chanel Pre-Fall Collection for 2008

Now this is what I like to see. These designs are scrumptious. I absolutely adore the coats, and the colors are perfect for fall. I really wish they had released this collection for this fall, as I would have loved to be sporting that long black overcoat. I really like the use of purple in [...]

Never Underestimate the Power of a Little Black Dress

It was more than 80 years ago that Coco Chanel brought us the fabulous and ever necessary little black dress. It was a simply designed, very unadorned dress that has since become a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. With the holiday season in full swing it is very important that we remember our little black [...]

Chanel Shoes for 2008

Okay, now I know I’ve already shown you the Chanel line. And I did rave about the shoes, but these deserve a close up. Now, I’ve tried to decide just why I don’t think that these shoes are ugly, but the simple truth is that I love them. The detailing and the work that must [...]

Chanel Spring/Summer 2008 in Paris

Now, normally I’m not one for clothes or even shoes that are highly odd looking. I do like things out of the ordinary, but too far out is just not really my style. But the new chanel line is great. Even with the odd combination of colors and the very odd shoes, I loved it. [...]

Getting Ready to Fall

Yes, they’re all styles we’ve seen come down the catwalks months ago, but it’s nice to see the fall ready-to-wear collections at a time of year where they’re actually starting to hit the shelves (I know, it’s still July, but I’m not the one with the marketing plan). It also got me excited for autumn [...]

Haute Couture: The Sequel

Yesterday, I was lamenting over Chanel’s boxiness, but don’t worry, there’s still hope for the curve. Check out Giorgio Armani Prive’s delightfully defined waistlines;

That last dress looks just about perfect for my hips. It actually seems to be based [...]

Haute Couture Wrap-Up

Well, Paris Fashion Week for the Fall/Winter Haute Couture lines is over. Sigh. I just love the fantasy of it all. Given that no one can afford this stuff anyway, I think all designers should be forced to only make creations like these walking cupcakes by Dior:

Wouldn’t you just die to try on one of [...]

My shopping-trip in Paris

It’s been five days since my last post, but I have a good excuse: my boyfriend and I went on a city(/shopping)-trip to Paris! We left on friday morning and returned yesterday evening and although I had my laptop with me (in my oh so stylish Pinder laptop case, thanks Daphne) I really didn’t have [...]
