The Magic of Chanel


The Chanel show is the most magical of the week. Karl Lagerfeld's set designers always construct an awe-inspiring facade in the middle of the Grand Palais, right on the Seine, and excitement actually buzzes through the air.


He casts the best models - Karen Elson, Jourdan Dunn, Sasha Pivovarova - boasts the most impressive front row - Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto, Lily Allen, Kate Moss - and gives the best gift bags - Dragon Red nail polish and Candy Pink lip gloss.


The black and white clothes weren't too bad either. Mid-way through the collection, Lagerfeld tossed green and pink accents onto his neutral tweeds before throwing in all green look on Jessica Stam and head to toe pink knits on model Lara Stone. Plastic covered Chanel bags came stocked with compartments for perfume, lipstick and even an iPod.


After Karl stepped out of a trap door to wave hello at the end, the audience skipped out into the Paris rain assured that all was well in Chanel-land.

Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of Manhanttan in New York City. Between 34th street and 59th street, it is also one of the premier shopping streets in the world, often compared to London, Paris, Tokyo, and Milan. Fifth Avenue serves as a symbol of wealthy New York. The wonderful, amazing street was made in 1862 by the wealthy people of New York. Between 34th street and 60th street, Fifth Avenue is lined with luxury retail stores, which include Tiffany Co.,Cartier SA, Lord & Taylor, Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, BVLGARI, Armani Exchange, Coach Inc., Escada, Christian Dior, Juicy Couture, Lacoste, Fendi, Versace, Kenneth Cole, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Put your shutter shades on.


Today is one of my personal favorite days of the week; Wednesday. At our local Cypress Bay every wednesday, or as we like to call it "shades wednesday", is when the whole population is showing off their shades, so our pupils within the eye doesn't get damaged (Yeah, that's a great joke). I just recently bought two pair of sunglasses for this fabulous event. But of course ladies, how can we forget, spring break is almost here and you know what that means- OUR LONG SUNNY DAYS IN THE BEACH!! One of the most important accessories to go with our fun in the sun and to protect us from dangerous sun rays that can ruin our beautiful eyes. I personally love the brands Ray Ban and Diesel, a touch of the classic oldies. Ray Bans never get old and Diesel are bold and dynamic. They're always in trend. What's your choice of shades, modern big or classic oldies?
