I heart Chanel: Chic

The epitome of Parisian flair, the perfect mix of casual elegance, an inimitable talent for accessorizing...this is another facet of Coco Chanel that I will always find inspiring. {Photos: Mémoires de la mode: Chanel, Le béret by Phillippe Jouvoin}...

I heart Chanel: Playful

Spontaneous, sporty, gamine...this is the side of Chanel herself - not necessarily her designs - that I find hugely inspiring. No matter what she wore her own brand of chic was effortless. She knew that she didn't possess the standard...

Fall 2010: Richard Chai

Richard Chai Love[s] armwarmers, slouchy knits, long skirts and tiny tees and that really, really rocks my socks. Kinda commercial, yes. [Come on, designers have to eat.] But stylish, everyday wearable and fun to mix and match. Some clever girls...

Pre-Fall 2010: Viktor & Rolf

Pre-Fall 2010: Chloé

Like: Menswear details, nod to English countryside, plaid, touch of ruffles, higher waist. (Some of the skirts and dresses are at an unflattering mid-knee length, but the others are fab.) {Chloé @ style.com}...

Coco Generations

A very small sampling of my favorite Chanel jacket inspired looks, different decades, that I'd like to share with you. Reportedly, Coco Chanel was not a fan of the New Look, launched by Christian Dior in 1947, with its nipped...

<3 J.P. Gaultier's Spring 2010 Couture Collection
