Chanel's Russian Treasures

These are the latest exquisite creations from Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Paris-Moscow collection. The accessories are a collector's dream. Perhaps he read my blog and went to go see the Czar exhibit at the V&A museum and was inspired. My first love of the collection was the black matryoshka bag with the pretty gold face and pearl flower embellishment. My second love - those heels! What a mix of architecture and fashion. Lagerfeld is a genius!
My third love is that black leather bag quilted with the Moscow skyline. I want all three.

I don't have a spare couple thousand dollars in my pocket at the moment, so I think I shall have to find a way of making at least one of them. Keep posted.

Which is your favorite that you'd like to make?

Chanel Czars

Thank you Rachel of the wonderful online shop Mother Goose & Gear for the lovely web award! Do take a look at all of her adorable baby clothes. There's some cute doggie pictures on there as well.

With ascot season approaching, I keep thinking about hats. I absolutely adore Karl Lagerfeld’s creations for Chanel. The man with the ponytail is an absolute genius. These are just a few of the hats in his Paris-Moscou 2008-9 collection. Check out the rest of the sumptuous millinery and gorgeous gowns here.
Right, now to make these hats. First, buy 5,000 pearls, gold lame, and a glue gun.


Only joking. Just save your pennies and pence and give Karl a call.

If I could, I would buy the petal shaped hat and wear it to Ascot.

If you could, which one would you buy and where would you wear it?
