Plain and simple, I love chanel! From the logo to the quilted handbags to the fabulous ads! I've been wanting to post something about the movie, "Coco Before Chanel" for a long time now.

During one of my sick days last year that so happened to oddly coincide with a free week of HBO, I got to see the lovely movie. It's a story about her rise from obscure beginnings to the heights of the fashion world. I love how she didn't just follow a trend because it was a "trend" she was truly inspired by her surroundings and made her own clothes and hats (where she actually started her career). She's such an inspiration. Not to mention that they had Audrey Tautou play Gabrielle Chanel, aka Coco. Read a review or learn more about the movie here or go to the official site here.

Here are just some lovely shots of the movie and the brand (that I found on the official site)! I recommend watching it if you love fashion - but maybe not with your boy-toy, the movie starts off slow and I know how my hubby hates that...
