Mademoiselle


“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”    Coco Chanel


Coco Chanel is such an inspiration to me. A strong woman who made such huge fashion statements. The colours black and white of Chanel and the intricate details such as beads and lace strikes me the most for Chanel's collections. So you will find these influences very strong in my Chanel posts.


 Lace Vest and Belt: Zara
Mesh Dress/Skirt: Zipia
Lace- up wedges: Shubar
Multi- strand faux pearl necklace: Far East
Short real pearl necklace: Gift from aunt
Black and White faux pearl necklace: DIY (check out my DIY post that is coming up!) 



Does it remind you of Chanel? :)

  8. It does! It's the pearls. But there's so much to love about this anyway, it's perfectly feminine. I love it c:
