It's Funny How 2 Little Letters Can Make Most Women ...








Why is it most women are fascinated with Chanel?  No matter what decade of design from this amazing designer one favors, they are all super chic and seem to have a common thread... fabulousness!  I am particularly fond of the 90's when Mr. Karl Largerfeld took the lead.  I think I relate in particular to that time because that is when I recognized my true love of all things fashion!  I loved that you could turn any page of  Vogue and find Christy, Claudia or Naomi dolled up in couture, and usually Chanel.  (I also loved the 90's because they used Supermodels on the covers of fashion magazines.)


Chanel for me is the design house that directs all fashion trends, from the classic to the funky!  As I sit here with my baby on my lap typing away in my slippers and jeans (vintage Calvin's, if that makes it any better) I look forward to the day I find that perfect Chanel piece to add to my wardrobe.  Which I must say as of late is more like a museum collection gathering dust.  


In the meantime I can still look through my mags, use my must have Lucky stickers, and know someday I too will own and wear those two letters!

Channeling Chanel


I love everything Chanel!  But who doesn't?  I especially find myself loving many of the pieces from the collections of the 90's... the chunky gold chains, the pearl charms and large sparkly crystals and gems!  And that is what inspired the following pieces. 


 The above piece is 26" around.  It is $35 and available on my Etsy shop.  Or you can email directly for purchase and I will send you a Paypal invoice.  




The above bracelet is one of my favorites!  It is 8" long with a heavy weight gold chain.  $45.  Available on Etsy or send me an email.  Check back for more pieces from my collection.  Thanks for looking!
