This London fashionista has it all matched perfectly: Romantic delicate flowery silk blouse mixed with a classic Chanel-esque boucle box jacket – as a further nod to Coco Chanel, she added a quilted chain leather handbag into the mix.
Now we come to the rock part of the oufit: Skinny Jeans with zipper details and nude suede wedges complete with wooden heel and studs – double wow!
This spring and summer 2012 is all about oh-so-pretty pastel colours on swining 50ies dresses. And a great way to rock this trend is to inject some colour in a classic Chanel Bouclé Jacket. Think lemon yellow as see at Chanel’s Spring / Summer 2012 collection, or petit-four-pink, or fresh mint!
My pink sunglasses complement the 50ies trend perfectly. They are from Fossil, Model “Jacky Berry”, PS3897649
There are some clothing items that are timeless and at the same time trendy, like the pencil skirt or the stripy shirt à la Marinière. The Chanel inspired Bouclé Tweed jacket is one of them. No season at Chanel without the classic, and Karl Lagerfeld manages to reinvent the classic item each year. These days you get many copies, for example at Zara. Mine is from TK Maxx in the classic colours navy and white with crème coloured frill border. My favourite look is to combine the jacket casually with jeans, but the jacket also rocks combined with a skirt or dress!
Es gibt einige Kleidungsstuecke, die sind zeitlos und auch trendy, wie z.b. der Pencil skirt oder das Streifenshirt à la Marinière. Auch die Chanel inspirierte Bouclé Tweed Jacke gehoert dazu! Keine Saison bei Karl Lagerfeld ohne den Klassiker und Karl schafft es jedes Jahr, die Jacke neu zu inszenieren. Heutzutage gibt es viele Kopien, z.b. bei Zara. Meine ist von TK Maxx in den klassischen Farben dunkelblau weiss mit crème farbener Rüschenborte. Lässig kombiniert mit Jeans gefällt sie mir am besten, aber auch zum Kleid oder skirt rockt diese Jacke!
