Et puis il y a eu Chanel...

and then there was...Chanel
Well ladies, if you haven’t already made the effort to seek out the spring/summer 2011 runway show for Chanel then you’re truly missing out!
This just takes runway style and design to a whole new level of fashion extravagance. From catwalk models to live orchestra stage left this dramatic show is a must see.
Unfortunately, I have to say the shoes were more than disappointing but with the architecture and theatrical presence of this show it’s hard not to fall mad in love all over again for Chanel...

Wynken, Blynken and Mod!

Wynken, Blynken, and Mod one night
   Sailed off in a pink Chanel shoe
Sailed on a river of Swarovski crystal,
   Into a sea of blue.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
   The Dior clerk asked the Three.
"We have come to search for the couture we wish
   That live in this beautiful store;
   Nets of Visa and Amex have we!"
   Said Wynken, Blynken And Mod
The cheeky clerk  laughed and worked those red heels,
   As the girls rocked out in their new frocks,
And the Visa that sped them all night long
   Ruffled their lacy locks.
The little threads that made that dress
   That lived in that beautiful store
"Now cast your Birkin wherever you wish
   Never afeard are we";
   So cried the men of the best dressed three:
   Wynken, Blynken and Mod…

As many of you know I adore online shopping!
Below are some of my favourite looks from http://www.modcloth.com/ which is one of my favourite online shops.
Please check them out and take a look at this super cute and girly store. It was created by highschool sweethearts Eric Koger and Susan Gregg Koger. All the items are cleverly named taking this online shopping experience to a whole new level of fun and entertainment. They also have a feature on their blog where you can choose the inventory and be the buyer for future merchandise.
