Coco Avant Chanel

















"When Coco Chanel uttered the now-famous phrase, "Fashion fades, only style remains the same", the French designer could not possibly have guessed how indelible her own mark on the world would be. As the woman who popularised the little black dress, the trouser suit and bobbed haircuts, Chanel's style legacy is unrivalled, and now, her personal narrative is up for grabs, with three biopics of the great designer currently either completed or in the pipeline. " -Independent.co.uk
I am so excited! What will the fashion world be without Chanel?! I am still waiting for the day when I can get my very own Chanel 2.55! & Audrey Tautou seems pretty awesome as Coco Chanel! Ah I can't wait for it to be out :)


Shirt - Far East Plaza
Skirt - Custom-made
Headband - Far East Plaza
Lego Belt - DIY
Stockings - Bugis Street
Shoes - Target
My outfit for the first day of the New Year! :) I don't think there is anyone else who loves polka dots as much as me! & I just ordered a pair of polka dots stockings! *beams & I am really trying to wear heels more often now because school is starting in 2 days! Bah.
So I'll end wit one of my favourite quotes by Coco!
" As long as you know men are like children, you know everything! "
So, so true ;)

    ohh I'm exited too for that movie. I've seen a tv version of her life and it's pretty sad, when her lover dies. :'(

    That's a cute belt, I once made a pendent with a small red one, but I don't remember where I put it. ^^

    Wait, are you talking about the Lifetme movie, or a different one? The actress looks like the one from the already aired movie. It was kinda of boring though so I didn't watch much =( It actually had bad reviews. If you are talking about a diff movie, I hope it's better!

    Somehow I don't like that masculine style on Audrey Tautou. It makes her look so old and masculine...
    That woman in the fifth picture has a similar smile to Keira Knightley!
    Coco Chanel really revolutionized the fashion world. I couldn't imagine what would be now if she hadn't been.
    I'm still craving for a Chanel 2.55 too! ^^
