So the ‘It’ color of the season, Jade, is apparently sold out everywhere…everywhere but Ebay! So how far would you go, and how much would you spend to have this color on your filangies?

Ladies and gentlemen, we may have reached a new milestone in the world of accessories! Models in the Chanel Spring 2010 show sported a mish-mosh of rub on bracelet tattoos. For those of you who aren’t so fond of getting a permanent tattoo, this may be a new alternative to loading your wrists up with jewelry! If Chanel doesn’t manufacture these, I assure you, someone will…keep your eyes peeled and wrists ready to go!

Thanks JAK & JIL!

For Spring/Summer 2010, Karl Lagerfeld would like to take us to the Barn Yard…a giant replica of a barn was built as part of the Chanel runway. A threesome was also staged to make the show even more interesting. As far as the clothes, not quite Animal House chic!

This 39-year-old First Lady of Cameroon, Chantal Biya,takes Lady Gaga to the White House.  Chantal is known for her big hair and crazy getups, and actually trendsparks lots of looks in Cameroon.  The Huffington Post reported:

In the past, she’s mentioned Dior and Chanel as a few of her favorite European labels, while the traditional African outfits she dons are custom-made, designed, and sewn by tailors … In Cameroon her wardrobe has made her so popular she routinely launches trends and has a hairstyle, the Chantal Biya, named after hair.

I mean, who meets the pope in a pink lace and sequined dress? She does, apparently. What do you think of this diva’s style?

Lily Allen takes on a sexy image for her new Chanel ads. Less playful then her Aubrey Hepburn inspired series, these ads show another side of Lily. Karl must love all sides of the sassy Brit singer, because he’s once again the creative mind behind these ads.

The combination of black & white will always be a classic look. It is one that is shown at the house of Chanel season after season, as well as many other labels. Gareth Pugh was one designer who showcased Black & White Looks for his Spring 2009 fashion show but he certainly wasn’t the only one. Here is some Spring/Summer 2009 footwear that i love which follow the trend.

Those shoes are so cute! Chanel glasses? yes. On the Road is one of my favorite books, and although I think it’s a little strange that it’s an accessory to the outfit (along with the Blackberry, iPod, and Nikon), it works for this look (which I think is supposed to be some sort of school thing). Nice.

What if I told you rocking a designer clutch could be done for as little as $80? They might not be quilted lambskin or alligator leather, but Oonagh O’Hagen x Browns recently released three adorable totes with screen-printed Chanel, Hermes and Louis Vuitton clutches on them! Hey, might as well be glamorous while lugging groceries home from Trader Joe’s!

Though I can’t say I was overly impressed with the looks from the Elie Saab Fall 2009 Couture show (sorry folks, it had Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld written all over it), I was absolutely captivated by the simplicity and brilliance of the makeup used in the show. Models walked down the runway in what appears to be basic upper lash mascara and a white eyeshadow strip from temple to temple. It very well may be a “snow-queen” look, but I can definitely see the white strip look being very trendy during the fall and winter months. Subtle, elegant and beautiful!

Hadley Freeman, head fashion editor at The Guardian, had this sarcastic statement to say about why models oftentimes pose awkwardly. Brilliance: 

 ”Of course it is fashionable to look fey and feeble, because this suggests you do not eat much, which suggests you are thin, which suggests you can fit into Chanel sample-size clothes, which is the most important thing in the universe. And even if you can’t achieve this state of nirvana, if you pose in a manner that suggests feebleness — such as, say, folding your body in a pose that insinuates your bones have crumbled due to osteoporosis — you can fool onlookers into believing you are on the cusp of collapse. Malnutrition? Oh my God, like, such a good look.”

It’s that time again where big name designers tantalize us with flawless couture, forcing us to the shallows of wishing we were trust fund babies and had the means to rock haute Dior. Despite the fact that the recession has dictated the death of luxury, some of us still dream of flaunting a Birkin Bag and owning real Yves Saint Laurent cage heels. 

I applaud this ballsy individual who decided to carry a “couture” Chanel purse, constructed from a paper bag, a permanent marker and a chain. Although I really dig the sloppily drawn logo, you could get really creative and actually design your own luxury paper bag purse. And if you’re really into it, laminate it for multiple uses! 

I’m not the best sketcher. I can barely paint. My sewing skills aren’t the best. But this DYI, this I can do. This I will do. 

Thanks Fashion Copious!
