Karl Lagerfeld sketches Chanel

Coco Chanel.

I hope my post a few days ago about Chanel’s lovely new shoe line has everyone inspired to strut in style! If you’re going to make one splurge buy, I always say stick with shoes or bags – in most cases, they’re pretty difficult to outgrow! (Fine - if not shoes or bags, maybe some goodies from Hammacher Schlemmer... see my most recent post!) Anyways, who doesn’t love shoes! A great pair of shoes in itself make an outfit. All of that aside though, it’s time to give some kudos to Chanel’s fantastic line of jackets. From the classic tweed blazers to new looks that are boyish and fun, everyone needs a great jacket for work (and more obviously, for the nights after work!). No words (or even pictures) can replace the glories of a real Chanel jacket so classy that it will never go out of style. Karl Lagerfeld does a pretty awesome job though, sketching images that I can't help but share. In my mind, his art is perfection, capturing the glamour, sophistication, and timelessness that is Chanel.

(And notice how they all showcase such faaaabulous jackets!)

Cool stuff to make you smile!

Gotta give a little shout out to Hammacher Schlemmer for always bringing a smile to my face and mischievous plans to my mind. For those of you who have not visited the website, Hammacher is a goldmine of gifts for the people who already have it all. Today's feature on the homepage: the Land Sailor. (We admit, it's totally ridiculous. But who wouldn't want one!?)

Of course, my favorite goodies always come from 'THE UNEXPECTED' tab, which yields simple pleasures not limited to Hot Tub Boats and Productivity Boosting Nap Pods.

 For the more practical among us, there are things available like Solar Insect Zappers and Bed Bug Thwarting Sleeping Cocoons.

Hammacher Schlemmer is an adult's toy store, full of nonsense and expensive gizmos that no one possibly needs, but then again, why not. We can't spend it all on shoes, after all.

Yogi Fashion

Women's Health recently published an article showcasing

some of the hot new up-and-coming yoga clothing brands that

are adorable and affordable. The spread was SO GOOD that

not only did I make a few guilty purchases, but I feel the need to share

the love!! Below, behold the yoga brands of the future!

The tops at Nux USA are trendy, affordable, and won't get in the way 

during your work out:

From ALO, I'm completely obsessed with the Core Pant!

(So cute - and it comes in so many colors!!)

At Lucy, most of the yoga pants are reversible!

(That's like getting 2 pairs of pants for the price of 1!! SCORE)

 Finally, there's SOLOW, which I love for their unique colors and cuts that you can't find anywhere else!

Coco Chanel

 Chanel, tu me tue.

But seriously. 

Chanel's timeless and ruthless moves in fashion are truly killer, 

making the brand one of my all time favorites. This year, 

Chanel has done it again, going beyond the traditional lines 

of fashion to achieve l'extraordinaire.

For me, it's the shoes that do it! 

But worry not - this is the week of Chanel, 

and I will showcase the many beauties of the 

2013 collections that will leave you mind-blown and moniless.

(Join me soon for an exposition on Chanel Jackets!)
