Lily Allen for Chanel

I understand there is a little bit of a love/hate reaction to the new Chanel ad campaign featuring Lily Allen as the face of the Chanel handbag line, Chanel Coco Cocoon. Personally I think Lily Allen looks gorgeous and I'm loving the nod to the awesomeness that is Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned Karl Lagerfeld can do no wrong.

Chanel Fall 2009 Couture Collection

In my opinion Karl Lagerfeld is regarded as a genius for a very good reason. The all white Spring 2009 Couture Collection is as close to perfection one can get and though I don't believe this current Fall collection quite lived up to expectations, it did come awfully close. The lace tights, nude chiffon dresses, midnight blue and raspberry coloured sheaths, not to mention the jewelled shoulders, it's all breathtaking. I long for the days when I can afford Chanel.

All Things Chanel

I want.

My Current Obsessions

Gosh.

It's a Matter of Size

Big accessories have been seen everywhere lately, from Gucci to Dior, Dries Van Noten to Balenciaga and Prada. Oversized clutches, higher than high heels and my favourite, decadently embellished necklaces. The Chanel Plastron with resin and strass black necklace (top left) is the best I've seen so far. It's fantastically oversized, but not gaudy and the asymmetrical design makes it just the right amount of unusual. In all, the perfect statement necklace. Though not nearly as brilliant, Sportsgirl, Samantha Wills, Urban Originals, and Mimco all do their version of the embellished necklace and Urban Orginials in particular has a great collection available on their website. The All Things Sparkly silver necklace has to be my favourite.
