Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton

From locomotives in the Fall to checkers, escalators, and bows in the Spring, Marc Jacobs wowed Paris yet again on the runway of the Louis Vuitton show.

Paris Fashion Week: Christian Dior

While the Christian Dior show had its fair share of blacks, blazers, and metallics, my favorite looks consisted of stripes, vibrant colors, dramatic hemlines, and ladylike silhouettes.

Of course, the show was punctuated with floor-sweeping skirts worthy of a ball. Are you dying over those chiffon accordian pleats, too? Swoon!

Paris Fashion Week: Chanel

Pearls, pearls, pearls! Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel show took the cake at Paris Fashion Week, if you ask this lady! Ladylike perfection amid a runway of wind turbines...

Black, pale pink, tweed, bows, pearls, and that famous little jacket...how very Coco! And who could forget those hats? Tres chic!

Signature Scent

I have a perfume life plan. Is this strange? 


Currently, Chanel Chance is my signature scent. However, I have decided that I will age elegantly with Chanel...Chance in my twenties, Mademoiselle in my thirties, and Chanel No. 5 in my forties and beyond.  

"A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future." - Coco Chanel

What is your signature scent?

Black, White, and Polka Dots All Over

This Fall, I am seeing spots and Kate Spade agrees! I just adore the black and white polka dots covering these pieces...don't you?!

Shop dots!

Aerin

Ever since I discovered Aerin Lauder's new line while flipping through my Vogue, I have been dying to do a post. The ladylike packaging (pale pink, gold, and ikat!) and lovely shades of makeup stole my heart. "Girly and pretty" are the words Aerin herself uses, and they describe her line to a tee. Her inspiration is her grandmother, the Estée Lauder, who could "put on lipstick perfectly without a mirror. She did it quickly, with an effortless sensibility...It was about having a truly beautiful experience in everything you do." - Aerin via Vogue







Did I mention that Aerin looks gorgeous in all the photos?




This is one line I cannot wait to try.
