A reflection of a passing motorcyclist is captured in this photo of a Chanel vitrine on rue Cambon, Paris. The rhinestone-studded pins are part of the abundance of jewelry adorning Chanel models for spring.
Short-sleeved mesh tops with a hint of irridescence top full skirts. Pearl bracelets, chain necklaces and belts complete the ensembles.
The mesh top is paired with a lightweight wool pleated plaid skirt with a fringed hem.
The traditional Chanel quilted bag in gold leather. Pearl suspenders are attached to a navy skirt.
Patent leather two-toned platform Mary Janes and leather t-straps with striped, knitted ankle-bands accompany the spring skirts at Chanel.
It all looks great. If I had the wealth to shop Chanel I couldn't anyways, I'd never look that good in a short skirt. They don't go on THIS body anymore!!!!

I love seeing what's coming for the next season -- and I'm so eager for spring (who isn't?!)....I have noticed lately in every shop I've visited that in the last few months and as we go ahead into the spring, there is a very 40s vision in fashion.

Love those shoes! And I love the faces on these mannequins! Wow, they are beautiful, and so European looking.

I always love your window shots and these Chanel ones are fabulous. No wonder the French came up with that great expression,licking the windows. . . I'd be drooling on them!

So very old is new again, statements from Channel. I love the idea of the sequin mesh tops paired with the plaid skirts! Retro and what we used to call poor taste are now in! Humorous and wonderful!
