BR does Chanel

























Chanel. Timeless. Classic. I am waiting for the day I can invest in a Chanel jacket. In the meantime, I am working to build a worthy collection of Coco-inspired pieces. I found this on the sale rack at Banana Republic. Black and white, raw edges, zipper pockets, and great details. I can't wait to wear it with shredded denim, skinny black pants...anything really, it's a classic.

French Dressing

























Some things last forever. Diamonds, Chanel quilted handbags, true love...

In an effort to simplify my life, I am making more investment purchases than I have in the past. Adopting the European philosophy of dressing has revolutionized the way I feel about my wardrobe. Maybe this is what gives Parisian women that je ne sais quoi?
