CHANAILS! Miss May 2012 Chanel Manicure, Vintage Gift Wrap & Camellias

MISS is back again with more CHANAILS for their MISS Nails Did 2012 calendar. Nothing says spring like flowers and if you’re going floral – whether on your jeans, kicks or nails – they might as well be Chanel-inspired. Since color is huge for spring, and in particular for 2012, we opted for bright vintage Chanel gift wrap for our background and authentic Chanel camellia brooches to accompany our CHANAILS. I hope you’re having a great spring and let’s get ready for summer!

Fashion In The Streets: Chanel Citings in San Francisco & The Alameda Point Antique Faire

I’ve been sitting on these photos for some time, I must admit that I see a lot more Chanel on the streets but I don’t walk around with my camera and/or phone out all the time so most of the time the Chanels just walk on by… But sometimes, I get lucky like I did at the Alameda Point Antique Fair. It’s hard to know what faux or not – some are definitely fake, and some I just don’t know but I like seeing anything Chanel inspired….

Likely real.

Very likely real.

Faux, but really cute.

If they’re piled on the floor, I’m guessing they’re fake.

I also saw some gems in San Francisco like the blue purse, metallic ballet flats and the very fake (but very funny) sweat shirt…

Chanel Links: Big Giant Update!

Lots of Chanel news the past month that I didn’t get to post for one reason or another but is still post-worthy – check out my round-up of not-to-be-missed Chanel news….

Not everyone can afford Chanel – here’s how to make your own. The Londoner

Jennifer Anniston wore Chanel to her Walk of Fame Ceremony. Socialite Life

Rose Byrne wore a dazzling Chanel cuff to the 2012 Academy Awards ceremony. Jewel Snob

Lindsay Lohan kept warm this winter with Chanel ear muffs. Daily Mail

Last August I mentioned that Coco Chanel’s vacation home, La Pausa, was for sale. Well, it’s been scooped up off the market for an undisclosed amount but the property was listed for about €40 million. Riviera Times

There has been some controversy about the crystal cuffs shown at the Chanel Fall 2012 show – some say that Chanel ripped off Pamela Love. I don’t think they did anything intentional but Chanel has refused to produce the cuffs. Whatever. I don’t think the Pamela Love cuffs are all that original – they’re fancy versions of flea market crystal jewelry (just my 2 cents). Fashionista

Word on the street is that Chanel has received approval to design a new store on Bond Street in London that will also be the new U.K. headquarters for the brand. You can bet there will be some cool exclusive product and parties when this boutique opens up. Vogue UK

Chanel Premiere Tourbillon

Earlier this year we posted an image of the Chanel Premiere Toubillon and now we have a Chanel video of this gorgeous time piece. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Première watch, Chanel offers women the opportunity to enter into the world of high mechanical complications with the Première Flying Tourbillon. The watch is currently being presented at the International Watch Fair at Basel from March 8th to 15th , 2012.

Chanel Fall-Winter 2012/13 Ready-to-Wear Collection Details

Last week Chanel presented its Fall-Winter 2012/13 Ready-to-Wear collection and accessory-wise this was not my favorite show – don’t hate me, I’m just being honest. I found that the cuffs with large crystals sometimes read a little bit New Age-hippy-dippy to me. That said, there were also spectacular pieces like the collars/chest plates, the sexy line of the shoes, the mesh gloves (and the length of the gloves!) and the handbags (not counting the crushed velvet ones). I’m sure as more detailed images are released I will find more to love. For now, we’ll have to content ourselves with these…

Vintage Chanel Jewelry on Yoox.com

I don’t know where all of this stock of vintage Chanel jewelry is coming from but it seems like there’s a vintage Chanel jewelry sale every week. The latest is on Yoox.com and I’m jealous of anyone that buys anything from this sale. I always manage to want the pieces that are out of my price range – hopefully you’ll find something in yours.

Chanel Joaillerie Spring 2012 – 80th Anniversary Collection

Chanel Joaillerie Spring 2012 Chanel Cosmos watch open

Last month I posted about Chanel Joaillerie’s Spring 2012 collection which pays homage to the 80th Anniversary of Coco Chanel’s 1932 Bijoux de Diamants collection. I happened to find more images online and each of these pieces is breathtakingly beautiful. I have never before seen such exquisite jewels. Each piece in the collection is one of a kind and is set to tour the world in a traveling exhibition. I hope the exhibition comes to a city in the U.S – I would love to see these pieces up close and personal.
