Anyone who has been to Las Vegas will tell you that town is not low on glitz or luxury. Between the neon lights and desert sand, the town is always painted in gold. The Bellagio Hotel is renovating the Chanel boutique in its Galleria and to commemorate this event, Peter Philips has created “gold-plated collection and strews stardust over polyester dreams.”
Las Vegas de Chanel includes four items: Lucky Stripes, a compact with four shades of sand and bronze to be worn on eyes, face or cheekbones; Rouge Coco Shine in Brilliant, a sheer golden lip shade; Le Crayon Lèvres Vegas Gold, a gold lip pencil; and it wouldn’t be a collection without a covetable Le Vernis in Gold Fingers.
The remodel should be completed by the end of this month. I’ll actually be staying at The Bellagio mid-February when I go to some trades hows in Las Vegas and I will definitely check out the new space. And I hope to get my fingers on Gold Fingers!
December was a whirlwind and I took a much-needed break to spend time with my family and re-charge my batteries. While I was relaxing and filling my belly with holiday treats Chanel news had the interweb astir. Though some of it is a bit old news, I still found it worthy to include – so here goes – my massive Chanel link list for December 2011…
I love Chanel – but I wouldn’t go this far…would you?

Back in September, Chanel released the Knightsbridge Collection exclusively at Harrod’s to commemorate the Chanel pop up shop at Harrod’s. Well, for ladies in the U.S., today is our lucky day because the Knightsbridge Collection has made its way across the pond. Available now in the U.S., the Knightsbridge Collection can be purchased exclusively on Chanel.com. The four-piece collection is inspired by the English Rose (hence the rosy hues) and each item is named for a different neighborhood in London. Get those wallets ready quickly, each item is limited edition and I’m sure they will go fast!
What happens when you combine neon with Chanel? You get the Spring Summer 2012 collection. These pieces were not on the runway but a Spanish blogger was invited to a press preview in Madrid and posted some great pics of pieces from the 2102 Chanel spring summer collection.
I love the sneakers – especially the high tops – and did you see the tennis balls? So cute, but too cute to actually play with. We also get glimpses of new bags, shoes and neon jackets. It all looks very summery and fun – can’t wait to see it in stores!

Peter Philips created another gorgeous makeup collection to compliment Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Métiers D’Art Paris-Bombay 2012 presentation. The ubiquitous kohl-rimmed eyes so popular in the South East was reinterpreted for the runway and were the main focus on the face. Lips and cheeks were kept minimal and natural and all of the emphasis was on the very dark eyes.
Several limited edition products were created for the “Bombay Express” collection including POUDRE COMPACTE in Route des Indes de CHANEL, ILLUSION D’OMBRE Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Nirvana, JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush in Brume d’Or, ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Empreinte and LE VERNIS Nail Colour in Diwali. I am most excited about Illusion d’Ombre in Nirvana and Le Vernis in Diwali. Based on the glimpses we saw on the runway, I’m guessing that Nirvana will be black – though I’m wondering how different it will be to Mirifique. Diwali or the “festival of lights” is one of the most joyous celebrations in India. Based on the runway images Le Vernis Diwali looks goldish-luminiscent and based on the name I can imagine the color was inspired by lights. The Exclusive Creation Collection Chanel ‘Bombay Express’ will be available in select Chanel makeup counters in June 2012.
Here are the details from Chanel on the products used to create the look:

I took a much-needed few days off to celebrate Thanksgiving (and my birthday) but that didn’t stop Chanel or Karl Lagerfeld from making the news. Let’s play a little catch-up to see what happened in the Chanel world last week…
I’m not sure why everyone on the interweb is so surprised that Karl Lagerfeld makes a lot of money considering who he works for and the breadth of his projects – but he does, ok? WWD
Karl Lagerfeld will be donning a new hat - that of editor. In February 2012, “Lagerfeld will guest edit all Metro editions around the world. As part of the project, he will create a series of collectible sketches, illustrations and columns as well as choose the stories for the newspaper and give his notoriously provocative comments on the news of the day.” Metro
14 stars were chosen by 15 designers as their ‘muses’, and Chanel picked Yoon Seung Ah in Vogue magazine’s latest pictorial in the December issue. (Not sure which country’s edition of Vogue). AllKPop

Chanel launched an iPhone App for the J12 and among the features, you can “try one on”.
Back in July I posted about the pens and lighters that Karl Lagerfeld designed for S.T. Dupont – you can buy them now on the Colette webshop.
Blake Lively and Elizabeth Olsen looked gorgeous in Chanel makeup at the Chanel-sponsored MOMA Film Benefit in honor of Pedro Almodovar. Chanel celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin did Blake Lively’s makeup and Gita Bass did Elizabeth Olsen’s makeup.
Chanel’s spring 2012 makeup collection, “Les Harmonies de Printemps”, is delicate and accentuates a woman’s natural beauty. The collection features many soft pinks and peaches with some notes of deeper color like garnet and plum. “Les Harmonies de Printemps” will be in stores early 2012 in late January/early February. The collection is very pretty and is perfect for spring and summer when makeup tends to be lighter and more natural. I am a lip balm addict so I can not wait for the Rouge Coco Baume! I’m also excited for the June nail polish – looking forward to this collections release!
Levres Scintillantes lipgloss in Pétillant – peach with flashes of gold, Bagatelle – pink with flashes of silver; Le Vernis nail polish in April – highly luminous garnet of wild berries, May – intense pink, June – pastel apricot
Rouge Coco Baume – Lip Balm enriched with oil and cane sugar known for its restorative properties; Rouge Coco in Paradis – coral pink, fresh and sun-kissed , Destinée – intense and enigmatic plum , Chalys – orange coral with shimmering reflections; Rouge Coco Shine in Candeur – pastel pink, Flirt – tender and vibrant coral.
Les Quatre Ombres eyeshadow quad in Eclosion – peach, gold, grey beige and intense plum; Ombre Essentielle in Tigerlily – orange-toned shade with flashes of gold, Rose de Mai - delicate pink; Stylo Yeux Waterproof in Grenat – velvety wine.
Poudre Universelle Compacte in Jasmin- luminous beige pigmented with gold, limited edition; Blush Horizon in Eclat Douceur – five colored blush, limited edition

Chanel has a fun new app on their Facebook page promoting the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick. It’s a photo booth where you take 4 images, and then customize them with a color filter and a lipstick name. It was quick and fun and probably the only time Chanel will ask for your picture:) Try it out on the Chanel Facebook page!
