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…

CHANEL Métiers d’Art “Paris in Rome 2015/16” Collection
It’s no secret that I have a deep (and according to Darling Husband, expensive) love of the legendary house of CHANEL.

Under the direction of fashion powerhouse Karl Lagerfeld, the house has only continued to remain at the forefront of the luxury world…
RUNWAY REPORT: Backstage at CHANEL Spring-Summer 2016
While the major international Fashion Weeks might be over, I would be remiss in not sharing these incredible backstage images from the epic CHANEL Spring-Summer 2016 show. The ready-to-wear collection was presented at the famed Grand Palais which Karl Lagerfeld transformed into the most elegant airline terminal in the world.

Runway Report: CHANEL Haute Couture Presentation

Each time I would sit down at my laptop, I would have trouble finding just the right words to express what a special and spectacular experience it was to view the CHANEL Haute Couture Automne-Hiver 2015/16 collection while in New York for Fashion Week. I’m going to preemptively apologize for the gushing that will ensue, but please believe it is all genuine.
