"Coco" Color Palette

Karl Lagerfeld outdid himself this year with Chanel's Fall 2012 Haute Couture Show in Paris's Grand Palais. The garden party featured white wicker chairs, gardenias, and macaroons... ahhh swoon.

I felt like I was being swept off my feet when my eyes scanned the "new vintage" themed collection composed of classic pieces with modern twists (i.e. the tweed jacket). I found the collection complete on account of the classically Coco color palette and the stunningly intricate details. Are you dying over this collection as much as I am?!

Haute Stuff

Twice-a-year models grace the runways of Paris's Haute Couture Shows. I think many of Paris's Haute Couture Shows are the most fun and daring shows of the year and they always exude grandeur and magnificence. While I am swooning over the runways this season, I am also stunned by the street style being captured by photographers and bloggers in Paris.

Stay tuned for a post featuring a Paris haute couture runway show!

Hydrangea Hysteria

Giambattista Valli hit a home-run on the runway in Paris at Spring 2012 Couture Week.

I love the surprise element of the hydrangea inspiration visible on multiple models. I have also been pouring over the cinched waists as well as the structural elements and three-dimensionalality of each and every breathtaking piece.
