Cropped Jackets to make Coco proud!

With the imminent release of COCO(...Before Chanel,) cinema's latest biopic on the woman behind the fashion power haus, we can expect that everything Chanel related is going to become vair popular on the high street. Well chickens, I have always loved her, even before I saw the film...before I was BORN even. Also, it's not just the hight street who love her again, the designer labels are getting in on the action -the picture above is from August's Glamour and shows a Louis Vuitton studded number. Very much Chanel styley. It's been beautifully accessorised with Vintage style jewellery. LOVE IT. Also loving it this month are Stella McCartney and Marcy J. However, if your budget doesn't stretch out to the thousands, you can replicate the look by perousing the High street.
ASOS.com is getting in on monochrome chic:

Here's another one above - this baby is for sale priced at an affordable £95.00 and is by Helen Berman. But my favourite, found at Gant, is £269 in red and black tweed.

The great thing about these cropped jackets is that they are fabulous transitional pieces that will take you from summer to Autumn. Lovely! Throw out your holey cardis and grab one of these babys...you'll wear it forever.

"I'm Chuck Bass"

I've been massively obsessed with Gossip Girl of Late and I can't wait for the third Season to air September. But tell me, dear readers, why is it that amongst all the good-looking, sweet, kind, oh-so-anxious-to-please fellas found within the series, that it is none other than Chuck Bass who gets my pulse racing?
It brings me to the age old question: Why is it that a waft of arrogance from any man is enough to make even the most level headed girl salivate? The thing about Chuck Bass, is that he seems to understand women - he understands what makes Blair jealous, and how bitchy women operate. He knows how to wreak revenge. But I'll tell you this: You know if you were the one he loved, he'd be a great guy to have on your side...

Chanello!

Well Hello,
I'm still getting use to this Blogging malarkey, so hang in there.
