1955 statement

In the Winter on 1955, Coco Chanel created her famous leather quilted bag. The iconic bag has made millions over the years and has been a fabulous fashion statement. I decided to pair mine with my creme coloured trench coat, lovely floral dress and my mother's lovely pearls. And, -- how exciting is this?-- this is my 90th post! I would also like to thank again for everyone's lovely comments, they are so sweet! 

how to find: The Perfect Handbag

Shopping for a reliable handbag that you want to go with everything can be a complex process. But here are a few useful tips that will help you find the perfect handbag:

• Stick with multi-functional colors like white, cream, tan and black.
• Before you go shopping decide what you want in terms of size, pockets, fabric and shape, or if you want any particular design. 
• If you don't have at least a vague idea of what you want to purchase, this could create serious problems. You could get carried away in your favorite bag shop and end up buying something totally different to what you actually need. (known from experience) 
• Found the perfect bag? Before you buy it, make sure you actually try it first. Get in front of a mirror and see if it suits you. 
• Most of all, will it comfortable on your arm or shoulder for long periods of time?

Chanel S/S 2010

I really like this collection of Chanel S/S 2010. I think it really captures the elegance but subtle Gothic vibes Coco created. I also like the essence of Spain they've incorporated into this campaign. What do you think?
