CHANEL Spring 2016 FLY ME

/

Move over Delta, Chanel Airlines is here! Uncle Karl transformed the Grand Palais into the most chic terminal in the world. Remember the days when ladies and gentlemen dressed to fly? There were no pajamas or sweats on this flight! Chanel Spring 2016 continues to evolve the legendary label with its mix of modernity and classic. Lots of tweed alongside bright graphic patterns and prints. Layered pieces gave way to a more relaxed vibe, though it was first class all the way.

BELLA BAG's Luxury Pop Up at Doggies on the Catwalk

/

When luxury retailer Bella Bag, located at Buckhead Atlanta, contacted me about participating in Doggies on the Catwalk I was thrilled! If diamonds are a girl's best friend, then Bella Bag carries the designer handbags that hold them. On Saturday, June 13th, Bella Bag will be hosting a Louis Vuitton Pop Up shop during Doggies on the Catwalk! You're pampered pooch will be the most stylish 'doggie' in the city with their LV collar, leash and carrying case. Bella Bag will take orders Saturday night and will donate 10% back to the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption!

Bella Bag will have a prominent presence on the 'Catwalk' as well. They are pairing up Chanel, Celine and Dior, just to name a fabulous few, with looks from Theory, Helmut, Brunello and A+O! This is very exciting and kudos to Bella Bag and the participating brands for demonstrating neighborly fashion love.

Whatever is greater than thrilled is what I feel right now!! Make sure and stop by Bella Bag at Buckhead Atlanta, I think I hear a Birkin calling your name.

See you Saturday at 7PM at Doggies on the Catwalk! PS... remember to bring your stockpiled foreign currency. International Giving will convert to USD and donate to the cause! See IG at check-in.

What is it about Kristen Stewart that intrigues me, I don't know. Karl Lagerfeld does. He's been dressing her in Chanel for years. Uncle Karl shot this latest ad featuring Kristen and the new 11.12 Chanel bag. 

"For me the iconic handbag is just like the House of Chanel, fundamental and modern, two qualities not usually shared" Kristen Stewart was quoted as saying.

Chanel Spring 2015 Couture

/

Marie, Marie quite contraire, how does your jardin grow? Uncle Karl flexed his green thumb and gave everyone a glorious garden of couture for Chanel Spring 2015. The blooms, by the way, were mechanical! Season after season after season, the genius that is Karl Lagerfeld continues to evolve the legendary house from the past and into modernity. Classic tweeds embrace unconventional elements to create a "new" Chanel for today's times. He looks to the future by respecting the past and producing RTW and Couture collections that are inherently Chanel but are as young and fresh as a spring bouquet.

You just have to watch!!!
