Lets talk about Chanel




Just a few humour filled and fun relations of Chanel.

Wedding Fever







So with Catherine Middleton and Lily Allen having already tied the knot this year, with Kate Moss and the Princess of Monaco due to do so this Friday and Bella when 'Breaking Dawn Part 1' is released, it's kind of hard not to feel infected by all the hype surrounding these weddings. It has been confirmed Kate Moss will be in John Galliano (typically the rebel, despite the fashion world shunning Galliano following his racist outburst, Kate remains a loyal friend and customer). It has also been confirmed that Bella will wed wearing Carolina Herrera and of course we know Lily Allen wore Karl Lagerfeld and Catherine Middleton McQueen.

Above are images that I think originate from the 1940s (I am not 100% sure of this). I think they are old Vogue classics and the third image is quite an iconic one. The final picture is to emphasise the importance of the back of the dress, as many designs do not take this into account. As proved by Kate Middleton however, the back is one of the most photographed parts of the dress and is a vital part of the wedding dress. Somehow, the above dresses don't look like a meringue, despite the fact they should. I think it's just the fact they suited the time and wedding dresses have evolved since then. Loving the green elbow length gloves (second pic), the swarms of fabric and the gorgeous hair styles.

What I thought






So around this time last year pretty much everyone was going mental for these Mui Mui mary janes. Now they've kind of dissolved, but I'm sure I'm not the only person still completely in love. If I were to buy a pair, the pair pictured top would be my choice. I love the chunkyness and the randomness.They're just the kind of clompy heels you can picture yourself wearing all the time, even if it's just to read Vogue in your garden whilst drinking lemonade. Sadly I missed out on River Island's high street adaption. Damn it!

Doesn't matter














I don't know about you, but I think black and white images are sometimes the most effective. They tend to have more meaning, whereas colour just spells eveything out for you on a plate. This mixture of pictures includes everything from an Oslen twin, to a Topshop ad, to Jessica Stam, to an origami dress to a creepy clown like face. Variety that showcases black and white at its best.

Today I don't feel like doing anything...








Feeling very lazy and this kind of dressing reflects exactly how I feel. Lose couldn't care less hair, barely there make-up, slouchy clothes, loose jeans, ripped mini shorts, careless layering, natural fabrics and a classic striped top. Second pic shows Audrey Tautou in 'Coco Before Chanel', a lovely film that until I watched it, I hadn't realised it was all in French. Unusual, but it really added something. Third pic I think is Sienna Miller who looks so casual and carefree. Love the hair in the last pic. So whatever. Wish my hair could look that good.
