Aaaaah, gosh I love the chanel collection. I guess chanel is a bit like a really subtle, good joke - you don´t get it at first, but after a while you love it. Last seasons long, swingy skirts were phenomous and the hair and make-up was young & freaky (green nails with fake lashes on the lower lashes). But this season totally rocked it. It was so girly, fresh and a bit tough, but not in a strict kind of way more gentle and flirty. Okay, so you don´t have to love the clogs. I don´t - but I still think it fits perfectly and gave the whole collection something quirky and new. Because - this is my opinion - in fashion it´s always changing from opposite to opposite. So now we had stillettos (don´t worry, we still love and have ´em) and that´s why the designer felt the need to do something fresh: big, unelegant shoes. If you want to try the trend (which I would only recommend if you have long lean legs and a bit of courage for the sound they produce) go for the Zara version, they have done really nice ones which are quite high and don´t remind me too much of swedish milk maids.
But, anyway - this colour! I would love to touch the fabric, it looks so elegant and light at the same time. I love the shoulder part (thank god, shoulders are still sort of in) and the kind of white tights too. It´s also new and fresh and it is refreshing to see something else than black opaque.

Oh my gosh - this is so chique and sexy. I´d kill for this suit, or at least rob a bank!
And, you gotta take a look at the bags: the old 2.55 was styled up with nature-inspired fabrics and little flowers - so sweet.
As always, the nail lacquer was trend-setting: I love this elegant taupe nuance, because it is fashionable, but not over-done. Let´s not forget about the whole tattoo thing every magazine was crazy about: yeees, they have done something like that, but I still think - although I agree it is a fun idea - that it shouldn´t be more important than the clothes, because the tattoos wouldn´t work without the pretty suits and dresses to toughen them up.
I love this outfit, although I always dislike Lagerfelds take on the darker tones - in my opinion, he is always over-doing it by adding lots and lots of gothic-inspired elements (cuffs, tattoos, gloves,...), but this look sort of works. Maybe it´s because of the sheer headscarf dree hemingway (which is the model and grand-daughter of Ernest Hemingway, she is kinda a socialite and really stylish, which is kind of obvious) is wearing with it. It breaks the strong and strict theme of the suit and softens the shoes. I also adore the tutu-ish skirt under the a-line jacket and the round neck with the black ribbon just make me happy. This is a outfit I´d wear to every occasion which might come up, beginning from wedding to grannies b-day to funeral (spitting three times behind me and knocking on wood and no, i am so NOT supersticious! ;)).
