CHANEL Spring/Summer 2017 Ad Campaign


If you’ve been patiently waiting for the “Data Center” CHANEL Spring/Summer 2017 collection to arrive in stores, today is the day…the pre-collection hits the stores! Which means we still have to wait until March for Spring/Summer 2017 collection to arrive. But you can still enjoy the colourful and playful ad campaign shot by Karl Lagerfeld, featuring that coveted (and adorable) robot minaudiere.


“The silhouettes combine striking pieces and an accumulation of pieces of fine jewellery. A silk jacket with a hypnotic print is embellished with sautoirs and necklaces in white or yellow gold, diamonds and multi-colour cultured pearls, and with rings and earrings in white gold and diamonds, from the Plume de CHANEL, Sous le signe du Lion, Camélia and Ruban collections. The high-tech aesthetic of two J12 watches in white ceramic completes the look.

A series of resin and silvery metal cuffs accessorise a patent leather jacket worn with the BOY CHANEL handbag, the iconic House handbag revisited here in a perforated white leather version. A fanny pack nonchalantly clashes with a multi-colour cotton tweed jacket and skirt ensemble worn with a yellow crêpe de chine blouse.”


I’m going to be popping into my local boutique today to check out some of the pieces from the pre-collection in person, but what I’m really excited about are those camellia sunnies, though if you had a chance to peruse the CHANEL app, you probably have seen the really cool jewelry from Spring/Summer 2017 pre-collection too. Being good is going to be very, VERY hard today.

Shopping: CHANEL FW 2016/2017 Ad Campaign

chanel-fall-2016-2017-ad-campaign10
I’ve been waiting and waiting for CHANEL Fall 2016/2017 collection to finally arrive in stores, and today it actually happened! FINALLY! I’ve had a CHANEL gift card burning a hole in my pocket since my birthday, and at last, I used it to pick up a cat-shaped CHANEL brooch – so purr-fectly me!

But don’t fret, if cats aren’t your thing, this collection is chock-full of other amazing things, from fun accessories to timeless bags. Pieces will continue to arrive in stores, so if you don’t see something at the store right away, make sure to ask a sales associate to do a quick check. Persistence definitely pays off.

In the meantime, check out this playful CHANEL Parade ad campaign, created by (who else?!) Karl Lagerfeld, and showcasing some of the pieces from the Fall 2016/2017 collection. Share your fave pieces after the jump!

Lily-Rose Depp for CHANEL No.5 L’Eau Ad Campaign

lily-rose-depp-chanel-l-eau-perfume-ad-2016
Last time Lily-Rose Depp starred in an ad campaign for CHANEL was for the pearl eyewear collection, and I am still kicking myself for not getting the pair that was featured in the photos. Well, this time around, Depp is the face of CHANEL No.5 L’Eau, and she looks like a beautiful mini-me version of young Vanessa Paradis. Good genes run in the family! I am totally loving the new generation of CHANEL girls, including Willow Smith…even if it makes me feel just a little old.

Kristen Stewart in CHANEL Metiers d’Art “Paris in Rome” Campaign

Chanel_ParisRome_AdCamp_DP.indd
CHANEL muse and ambassadress Kristen Stewart has yet another CHANEL campaign under her belt – this time in support of the “Paris in Rome” collection. Photographed in black and white by Karl Lagerfeld, Kristen is posing as a sultry Cinema Italiano star wearing the pre-fall 2016 collection. It’s always good to see Kristen dress up, since her everyday style is so casual. The ads are slated to appear in magazines sometime in June, but you and I don’t have to wait this long to check out the stellar new images thanks to the power of internet!

First Look at H&M x Balmain Collaboration Ad Campaign!

hm-balmain-ad-campaign-gigi-hadid-kendall-jenner
H&M x Balmain collaboration is only about a month away from hitting the stores and now we have this first look at the collection’s ad campaign, and OMG – it’s epic! It takes a lot to take attention away from beauties like Gigi Hadid, Jourdan Dunn, and Kendall Jenner, but in all honesty, I don’t care who the models in this ad are, because all I can see are the clothes and accessories! The jewelry! That dress!! Those blazers!!! I have a feeling that line-ups for this collab are going to be insane, so I think you’d better start strategizing.

Shopping: H&M Studio Fall 2015 Collection Lookbook

hm-studio-aw15-collection-lookbook6
I wrote about H&M Studio Fall 2015 collection back in March, and now that the September 10th launch of the collection is mere days away, we have campaign images, as well as photos of the entire collection! And while you may not want to think about fall just yet, some of the pieces are bound to sell out, so planning ahead is a must.

For me, standouts from the collection include outerwear, leather and printed pieces; I also love the strappy camis that would be a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe. I will be previewing the collection later this week, so watch my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the up-close-and-personal pics!

Shopping: Andrew Coimbra Fall 2015 Collection Ad Campaign

andrew-coimbra-fall-2015-ad-campaign
I don’t often write about menswear on the site, but Andrew Coimbra’s designs don’t just work for men – a lot of the pieces from his collections can actually be worn by both sexes. Andrew, who’s worked with such renowned Canadian brands like Pink Tartan and Philip Sparks, and interned with Proenza Schouler in New York City, is a talented young, who certainly should have a bright future ahead of him. His modern cuts, stellar prints, and tongue-in-cheek details should earn him all the accolades he deserves, but as is often the case in Canada, we don’t start supporting our homegrown talent until they have already made it abroad. Here’s hoping Andrew Coimbra can achieve that here on home turf.

Lily-Rose Depp in CHANEL Pearl Eyewear Collection Campaign

lily-rose-depp-chanel-pearl-eyewear-collection-sunglasses-2015
Lily-Rose Depp has just landed her first CHANEL Campaign, so it’s safe to say that if you didn’t know who she was before, you will now. With parents like the forever-chic Vanessa Paradis and once-upon-a-time heartthrob Johnny Depp, this is certainly not the last we’ll see of the beautiful young actress, but what a campaign to debut with!

Karl Lagerfeld had this to say about choosing the newest CHANEL ambassador for the Pearl eyewear collection campaign: “Lily-Rose is stunning, she’s a young girl from a new generation with all the qualities of a star”. She certainly is. Some actors just have that je ne sais quoi, and Lily-Rose has it in spades – the looks, the charisma, and now, that coveted CHANEL campaign!

Speaking of CHANEL…the Pearl eyewear pieces are just stunning! Round frames embellished with pearls and finished with rose-coloured tint – I’m already obsessed!

So what do you think of Lily-Rose as the face of CHANEL Pearl eyewear collection? Are you loving the sunnies? Share in the comments.

Beauty: CHANEL CHANCE Eau Vive


Today’s the day! The latest in the line of CHANEL CHANCE fragrances, CHANCE Eau Vive is hitting the stores today and you should definitely stop by your nearest boutique to give it a try! I had the chance to check out this delightful perfume created by perfumer Olivier Polge a couple of months ago, and have to say that it’s the perfect scent for the summer! This fragrance is energetic and fresh, with notes of grapefruit and blood orange, as well as jasmine, white musk, and fresh vetiver. Its floral scent lingers lightly and doesn’t overpower my senses when I wear it.

Fragrance is a very personal thing, but I do think that CHANCE Eau Vive is going to be a popular crowd-pleaser – a refreshing burst of energy that adds a bit of pep to the day, and literally makes me smile when I smell it.

The new Jean-Paul Goude campaign for the fragrance is equally energetic and fun – cute models bowling with giant perfume bottles, welcoming the new girl to the CHANCE team. After watching the cute 30-second film, make sure to check out the behind-the-scenes “making of” video below, to see how this film was created from concept to final product.

So tell me, are you a fan of CHANEL CHANCE fragrance line? Will you give CHANCE Eau Vive a try? Share in the comments!

3 Bags and 3 Muses in CHANEL’s Latest Ad Campaign

vanessa-paradis-chanel-girl-bag-campaign-2015
If you’ve been waiting for that promised ad campaign, featuring Kristen Stewart, Vanessa Paradis, and Alice Dellal, your patience has finally been rewarded, because CHANEL released these images of the new (and not so new) CHANEL handbag muses, wearing three iconic bags from the brand. Shot by Karl Lagerfeld, these images feature some of the coolest it-girls around, and I have to say that I’m obsessed with Vanessa’s photo, especially since she’s not a twenty-something ingenue. I love that Karl continues to work with her, and that she continues to be the face of CHANEL many years later.

The idea behind the campaign was to feature each woman with a CHANEL bag that best embodies her – Vanessa with the Girl, Alice with the Boy, and Kristen with the 11.12. As a huge fan of the brand, I do find all three bags dreamy, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Boy. Besides the romantic story behind the name of the bag, I love how easy that bag is…how it can be dressed up or down, with a comfy strap that can be worn cross-body, or on the shoulder…CHANEL Boy Bag is definitely a fave of mine.

kristen-stewart-chanel-11-12-bag-campaign
If you were curious about what the three muses had to say about their bag choices, here’s a little insight into their faves!

Dellal on the Boy: “Since discovering the Boy, I have found it a permanent fixture in my wardrobe. It’s a ‘fuss-free’ bag; it is very modern! The Boy bag was my first job with Chanel, it was the beginning of a unique journey.”
Kristen Stewart on 11.12: “For me, the iconic handbag (the 11.12) is just like the house of Chanel, fundamental and modern, two qualities not usually shared.”
Vanessa Paradis on the Girl: “I like the fact that it blends in with clothes or against the skin with infinite gentleness.”

And there you have it…three CHANEL muses, with three stunning CHANEL handbags. Which one is your fave? Share in the comments.
