Chanel: Business women… Sex and the City.

ChanelImage via Wikipedia

Well, Chanel doesn’t disappoint do they… This fall they broke out pure classics: Tweeds, furs and the most classic colors women could want in black, greys, taupe and beige. This fall, we can expect to see NYC business women and/or the classic woman dressed head to toe in Chanel. Why? We are seeing an array of fashioned up business suits in the form of pencil skirts and matching blazers. And I mean who DOESN’T look good in black and grey hues? Very St. John actually. But what sets these apart from the those St. John suits we see mostly on the 40+ crowd? They’re ramped up with ruffles on the bottom and the nice tight stitch around the hem of the skirts. Bit shorter, bit trendier. Nice short, petite blazer. Paired with a simple pair of Chanel pumps OR get the matching tweed ones in some cases… How much better can we get here?

I’m not a business woman by any means… I mean, the only pencil skirt I own is for job interviews! BUT… at the idea of prancing around in these Chanel suits? I would gladly succumb and adhere to the “cut throat, do anything to move up” motto of those we know and love in the city. Now all we need to go with the Chanel suits in the City? Sex… Oh wait… with Chanel covering your body and hanging on your arm… what better love and arm candy would a girl NEED??

Gucci and Gold: The Hysteria Collecion

The campaign photo for Hysteria

Well, here it is… my first post… I wanted to wait for something to catch my eye. If anyone has picked up this month’s issue of Vogue (July 2008), flip to the inside cover… Hysteria Collection by Gucci. Priceless. The epitome of “Gucci and Gold.” Purples and golds, with brown hues. Very fall. Very classic. Full of furs and suede. I’ve never been a big fan of monograms… So the simplicity of the suede and leather bags is a plus for me. However, the metalic Gucci monogram on the butt of those jeans? WOW. The oversized “carpet” bag is absolutely gorgeous… reminds me of Mary Poppins’ bag of endless treasures; gives me a little tingle =) I’m not usually about busy-ness but this bag is beautiful. Overall, I am impressed by this new collection by Gucci. Simple and classic. Something you could actually wear off the runway and not get masses of “what the hell is she wearing” stares! Way to go Gucci. You stuck to your somewhat eccentricity with the bags and fur but kept it classic with the monochromatic fall colors of purples, browns and golds; stuck to the monograms you are known for but toned it down by matching the monogram to the bag color itself. I would definitely rock the monogram in this collection… to where, if I had a few thousand dollars, I would run to my nearest Gucci store and fully stock up on the Hysteria line. Loved it.
