A little crush

I live dangerously close to Sloane Street.
Every day I find myself gazing into the glossy, frequently sparkling windows at the elaborate displays they conjure up to lure us in.
Usually I resist, but Chanel has been testing my resolve.
You know that girl teetering in her high heels, peering at the woven jackets with her nose pressed against the window?
Yea... that's me.
The new Spring/Summer print campaign is not helping at all.





Effortlessly cool, pretty white dresses teamed with pastel jackets & little white socks.
It's enough to melt even the coldest fashionista's heart.
The behind the scenes video is what really, really gets me though.


Lagerfeld, why must you break my heart? 
The combination of waves crashing, little white suits & coral inspired shoes has my credit card shivering in the corner. Poor little thing. 
Though my January budget wont quite stretch to a new wardrobe, I can at least attempt to emulate the styling & the makeup! 
I've written a wee blog post for Whats In My Handbag on how you can get the look. 


If you're interested, pop over & take a look. 
I'll just be here, sobbing over my magazines. 


Ps. If you're American & you don't know what Sloane Street is, lucky, lucky you. 
Don't look here... or here.
Just don't.

  1. Chanel has always been one my favourites. If only I had the money... When I lived in Berlin and was walking around Kurfürstendamm ( a street you might as well wanna avoid if you ever go to Berlin ), it was me who pressed her nose against windows. I can totally relate to your situation.

    Oh my! My heart literally skipped a beat when that model was about to step into the water wearing that gorgeous feathery number haha!

    On a another note - Rosie, I have just recently stumbled upon your blog and can confirm that I am officially a fan. You seem like such a cutie, inside and out!

    Take care and sending kisses your way!

  9. Haha, that would be painful. Glad I'm not anywhere near there. it's bad enough I have Harvey Nichols near me. If I was in London, yes I would probably be more stylish but I would also probably be a lot more broke! Haha!

    Good luck resisting temptation!

  25. Oh the monochrome-photo staple of chanel; just one look at them and I feel quite nostalgic. I even had to endure a full 20 pages this exact campaign of ELLE! You can imagine my disappointment when I realised half the magazine was compiled of it... Xx
