Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel... I Adore You.

I’ve been out of commission for awhile, due to me trying to do a million things. So I apologize to the two people who read my blog. So two weekends ago (yes I know…delayed) the Coco Chanel movie debuted on Lifetime and I LOVED IT!!! However there were a few things that didn’t sit right with me and that consisted of the following:



• Shirley Maclaine was a bit scary to me… her makeup just didn’t sit right with me.
• I wasn’t a fan of the constant reference to her lover (who was scrumptious by the way) Boy Capel
• My appetite for a peek into Chanel’s life was left…hungry. Chanel is a fashion icon and I felt that the movie didn’t do her justice.

But I loved it none the less.

AND speaking of Chanel…this tweed jacket from the Chanel Resort 2008 collection is the perfect piece for embracing the chill this Fall.

Beyonce prepped for Fall earlier last month by pairing it with a pair of jeans and pumps. This jacket (or something similar for the budget fashionistas) would be the perfect icing on an outfit-it’s a statement piece that’s classic yet trendy. I can only dream of Chanel in my closet, sitting pretty on a sugarcoated hanger calling my name. For now I have to stick with perusing the Chanel boutique at Saks and ignoring the awkward stares from the sales associates when I say “I’m just looking.” But you know what..I don’t care, my love for Chanel is endless and I will continue on my “window shopping sprees” until I can do the real thing.

Updates on the Emmy’s later. Also…does anyone know how I can makeover over my blog?
