Paris feels especially precise from the Prince de Galles, the Art Déco symmetry, the golden calm of the Suite d’Or, the sense that elegance here is simply part of the architecture.
Yesterday’s CHANEL show was, as always, a reminder that the house never stands still. And yet, I notice how naturally I return to the earlier language of the Maison, that quiet, impeccably composed kind of elegance that first defined its allure.
Perhaps the newest chapter simply hasn’t found me yet. But that, too, feels very CHANEL: a house vast enough for different rhythms of taste, different moments of recognition. And in a place like this, surrounded by Paris at its most timeless, the classics tend to speak the clearest.
My look: Black long vest with bow details (Look 62 – S/S 2021), knitted jumpsuit with arm warmers (Look 8 – S/S 2021), logo choker, long pearl necklace and matching wide pearl bracelet, small logo chain waist belt, large waist belt with logo letters, pearl metal hairband with CC logo, and rhinestone Coco handle gunmetal bag, all by CHANEL, and Kate 100 suede pumps
by Christian Louboutin.

Long time, no post. Life has been a wild ride lately! Ready to get back into the swing of things. After some time off blogging and Instagram, I am back with one of my favorite CHANEL looks of all time, that I wore to the S/S 2022 show in Paris.
My look: Jumpsuit in tweed with chain details (Look 13), ruched belt, rhinestone Coco handle gunmetal bag, and flap card holder with chain, (Métiers d’Art F/W 2021), pearls and crystals large script brooch (Pre-fall 2019), earrings and sunglasses, all by CHANEL, felt sailor cap 
by Saint Laurent, and Montana 120 stretch-satin thigh boots by Christian Louboutin.
I dated this post to the date, Christmas Eve, when I started my social media pause… stay tuned, as there will be many posts coming up from now…

Do you know this feeling? You have planned your day and the weather is ruining it. You think… please not today! This happened to me recently in New York City when we wanted to photograph this beautiful look from CHANEL’s Métiers d’Art Pre-fall 2021 Collection that took place at and was inspired by the Château des Dames. I am feeling like the queen of my castle in this unexpected combination. In general, I don’t wear head to toe looks from the runway but this one was just too perfect.
My look: Intarsia cashmere sweater, gold crochet skirt with built-in shorts, royal blue leggings, royal blue silk shoes, rhinestone Coco handle gunmetal bag, pearl necklace with chain and AirPods case, (all from Look 26 Métiers d’Art 2021 Château des Dames), layered pearl necklace with bows, (from Look 34 Métiers d’Art 2020 Paris – 31 Rue Cambon), and vintage blue sapphire earrings, all by CHANEL.
