Louis Vuitton has released their first ever TV commercial, shown originally on CBS.
The advert features Arizona Muse on a voyage across France's capital, Paris, passing iconic sites including Louvre's Mona Lisa, whilst trying to break away from a mysterious character lingering in the shadows. She continues to unlock a Louis Vuitton iconic trunk and uncovering a letter. The final clip involves her escaping in a hot air balloon...

Two icons together at last...

In 1960, George Belmont interviewed Marilyn Monroe on the set of 'Let's Make Love', speaking spontaneously about her famous quote; all she wore to bed was 'Just a few drops of No.5'. Thus bringing proof of the great association of the two icons; Chanel and Marilyn Monroe.  
Chanel has now released this film for the first time for all to hear. 
The two will be linked forever...

National Treasure


Emma Watson 

It is fair to say that this girl is truly a national treasure. 
We have grown up with Emma on the big screen and therefore have seen her bloom from the 12 year old Hermione Granger to the beautiful Emma Watson. 

She never seems to put a foot wrong in style: whether it is on the red carpet or at a festival... 
 for that we worship her.

Flutter those Lashes


“It’s no secret that I’m a complete beauty addict, and so designing my own range of lashes was a dream come true. My lashes are unique in that they are 100% natural hair, and the extra mild adhesive means that you can commit the cardinal sin of forgetting to take them off and still wake up looking gorgeous!” 
- Millie Mackintosh

Millie at the Launch. 

We have a MASSIVE style crush on Miss Mackintosh, so as you can imagine, we cannot wait to get our hands on some of the newly launched lashes...

Which ones to choose - this is the big question: 



See you there

LBJ Part 2









The Little Black Jacket, one of the most iconic jackets of all time! The exhibition was composed of  beautiful photos with the LBJ as the key feature in them all. However, each photo had a quirky and clever way of showing the jacket... in one they had even cut it up...if I am ever lucky enough to have one I would never dream of doing that! The stunning photos were full of famous faces...male and female. A simple but chic exhibition...much like Chanel itself.

Martha - Blazer: Zara. Top: Max C. Jeans: Topshop. Pumps: Milly. Bag: Mulberry.
