Feeling Blue



There's nothing I love more than a Chanel fashion show. 
Seeing as this cold wont shift, I've taken comfort in doing nothing more then spend my Saturday night in admiring the latest Spring/Summer '12 Haute Couture collection. Ironically, given I'm feeling a little blue the collection itself was nothing more than endless shades of various blues. Now this cheered me up. (I lie, the entire catwalk show cheered me up). 

From start to finish, the catwalk itself was presented in a totally different way to what is usually done. Instead of the grand hall used to display large props for the show, this show appeared to be simplistic with a twist. Instead of your standard runway, Karl has opted for an airplane themed layout, including the seating position, background drop and colours. Not a hint of the famous locked 'CC' logo in site. 
As if this wasn't enough, watching each model present the latest collection got me a little excited. Why? because the entire collection was sophisticated, feminine and very Audrey Hepburn. Another reason I got excited? The entire colour palette consisted of Black, Greys, Whites and the majority Blue's. As most of you know, I'm rather in love with the colour blue, and when it comes to garments if its embellished, navy and detailed then i'll snap it up quicker then you can say Salvatore Ferragamo. 
What I found particularly stunning was the head-to-toe embellished gowns with large encrusted jewels and sequin fabric, with shades of  blue varying from sky to sapphire. Followed by the nude tights with various jewels embellished at the top, for me this really set off the collection. 
Now I'm a girl who likes to travel in style, and if it means travelling like this, then my wardrobe collection will be reaching new heights this summer...30,000ft to be exact.
