“What I do, Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it’s up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be.” – Karl Lagerfeld on Coco Chanel Looking at the Fall 2014 Chanel collection, whether it be from the resort collection or the haute couture collection, the details are magnificent.

#NYFW State of Mind
Fashion vs Style. New York Fashion Week is a kaleidoscope of both fashion and style! Of course, I’d love to say that I have attended a Fashion Week in New York, but I have only drooled over the fashion pics that flood the internet and Pinterest, and wished upon star after star that I would get the opportunity one day to attend Fashion Week.

All pins are taken from Pinterest, but the original source is cited. My Luscious Life blog featured this fabulous double “C” logo in what I would imagine is an entry way. This logo would be perfect in any Chanel store. I would love to have this logo in my dream closet in my dream home in Colorado! Photo Source: http://mylusciouslife.com The Saved by […]
My Week in Pins
“My Week in Pins” returns this week after a brief (one week, I think) hiatus. This week I have been burning up my iPad on Pinterest “pinning” everything from recipes to purses, much to the chagrin of my husband who also like to use my iPad to peruse eBay for car parts, farm equipment and the like. This week, I’d like to focus on “statement pieces”, such as jewelry, watches, etc. First up is this bracelet, which can be seen on Etsy. I like it because my name means “butterfly”! When I saw this watch, I immediately thought that if […]
