I watched Coco avant Chanel last night and loved it! I know, no biggie surprise there....but still. It was a bit slow in the beginning, but quickly picked up....Audrey Tautou is gorgeous! and costuming is to-die-for brilliant. I have a new obsession with Chanel stuff too...Not that I have any to really speak of, except for a lipstick. I do covet the lipstick case though....What is it about those interlocking CCs? My vision is to own a 2.55 Chanel bag when I turn 40, which (unfortunately) isn't that far off in the future...My philosophy on Chanel clothing/handbags: They are items one cultivates into when they're "older"...By older I mean someone who's kind of lived a life of some sort....no teens allowed (that's just obnoxious). So I dream of my bag in the meantime....Next up is my powder compact. Who wouldn't want to pat down their shiny nose in public? Viva Coco!!!
Well, Coco is the Queen and I think everyone knows it. I cannot wait to see this movie. I totally agree with your Chanel philosophy. It really is for a different set. So sad that it is polluted with the likes of Paris Hilton and the Kardashians (2 names you will NEVER see again on this blog...I promise). I absolutely covet my nail polish...and I've only used Chanel blush for like 15 years. Beyond that...well, I'll just have to wait. While I do adore the idea of a librarian sporting Chanel...welll, I suppose there is reason you hardly ever see any with Chanel bags. Oh well, one day librarians will be paid like CEO's and everything will be right in the world.
ReplyDeletei totally forgot about my nail polishes! yes! they're brilliant w/ their color choices! i'm starting my chanel fund and will slowly add to it each month. god only knows i waste $ on stupid things all the time and maybe saving up my pocket change can actually amount to something! why can't librarians have chanel? if you set your mind to it, you can have/do anything! (i'm feeling particularly positive today)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm' inspired to start a Chanel fund too! Maybe I can donate to that fund instead of my daily Starbucks addiction (sorry Starbucks). We could be the first librarians to have Chanel!
ReplyDeleteOK: i've done the calculations....i'm going to estimate on a $2000 total (it might be a little less i think depending on fabric...or a bit more...but around there). so that means I have 23 months left, which means it's around $87 each month or $21.75 each week.
ReplyDeleteis it doable??? i think so! i'll need to create a cute "chanel saver" envelope for this!
So totally doable Ms. M!!! I can't think of a better way to spend 2 grand!
