Twice a year, one of the most beautiful cities in the world becomes even more gorgeous and magical due to the staggering artistry of a handful of famed fashion houses. In January and July, Paris hosts the shows that the members of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture stage for their most select clients and lucky members of the international press. These presentations are so much more than mere fashion shows, they are an exhibition of the staggering artistry, creativity, and craftsmanship that only a few fashion houses possess. The house of CHANEL is one of the few official members of this honored body and because of this, the spectacular collections the house shows twice a year can legally be called Haute Couture…
Fidelity Denim Must Have
I frequently talk about closet staples and what pieces makeup the basis of a great wardrobe. However, the two items that consistently top my list of must-haves have always been a pair of skinny black jeans and a black turtleneck. Not only do these two items pair together perfectly, they’re also wonderful pieces to build countless other looks around. These jet black jeans from Fidelity are a particular favorite of mine, not just in my own wardrobe but of all the styles the brand offers. They’re a midrise jean, so they sit comfortably above the hips which makes for a very flattering fit on all body types. Additionally, their slim leg and true black coloring also make for a totally flattering…
Preppy in Fidelity Denim
As I mentioned in my last post, since getting pregnant I’ve largely had an aversion to pants, especially those that are not of the yoga variety. However, the few pairs of jeans that I’ve found myself reaching for have all been from Fidelity Denim. Because of that, I’m so excited to have teamed up with this killer Los Angeles based brand to share two looks featuring two totally different styles from their Fall/Winter collection. With their mantra being “Devoted to Denim,” I always know that I’m guaranteed not only a perfect fit and perfectly on trend styles but also quality denim and quality construction with this brand…
Kicking Off the New Year in Le Chateau
A new year, a new host of Style Challenges with Le Chateau, and a new baby! 2016 is off to quite an amazing start for me and of course I’ve been trying to put my most fashionable foot forward. For the first Style Challenge of the year, I was tasked with showing just how I’m staying cozy and stylish throughout the winter months. This couldn’t be more à propos due to my changing shape and current aversion to most pairs of pants…
A Day in Bayeux
After attending the wedding of friends of ours in Loudéac, a charming little town in the heart of Brittany, we ventured on towards Normandy and checked into a stunning privately owned chateau. One of the towns I was most looking forward to visiting in the area was Bayeux. It was a center of Medieval life in the region and features the staggeringly beautiful Norman-Gothic cathedral of Notre-Dame. It was also one of the first towns liberated during the Battle of Normandy during WWII, so it’s quite rich in history. Another reason…
Signature de CHANEL High Jewelry Collection
I couldn’t think of a better way to start this week then by sharing the absolutely stunning new high jewelry collection from CHANEL. Premiered on Monday in Paris, the Signature de CHANEL collection was unveiled to the international press ahead of the house’s Haute Couture presentation this week. However, before I start waxing poetic about this latest collection, a wee history lesson. In 1932, Mademoiselle Chanel created her one and only fine jewelry collection…
