Wishlist: Chanel Whimsy

If you know me, chances are you know that I like all things red and “heart-y”. I always end up buying quirky pieces that feature red lips, red hearts, fun shapes and prints. Lately, though, I’ve been trying to go for more grown-up jewels – something worth passing down to my kids or grandkids. But, when I saw some of these pieces over at Some Kind of Style, from Chanel Spring 2010 pre-collection and Cruise 09/10, my heart fluttered.

I still don’t know whether I love them enough to make a leap, or if I should stick to grown-up pieces…perhaps these are too fun, and maybe even designed specifically for celebutots like Shiloh and Suri? I don’t know, but they definitely caught my eye, so I thought I’d share them with you!

What do you think? Are these worth the Chanel pricetag or should I forget about it?

Heart to Heart

Ok, so how do you know when your style has become predictable? For one, it’s when your friends instantaneously think of you when they see an item that looks like something you already own and know that you are going to love it. Instead of thinking that you already own a similar thing, you run to the store and buy it!

I’d already confessed my love for dresses, I love them and wear them religiously. Other 2 things that I adore are red hearts and stripes. Stripes are probably more dangerous than the hearts, because surprisingly there aren’t many designers that go for the heart pattern in their clothing (Marc Jacobs did go there last season, but it was way too expensive). Striped shirts though, are everywhere. Wearing a white tee with black/navy stripes reminds me of Coco Chanel and evokes the effortless chic-ness that she exuded. As cliché as it is, I always bring a striped shirt to Paris every time I go and can never resist buying yet another one to add to my ever-growing collection.
