Friday with Chanel

I am addicted to Chanel.

There could be worse things to be addicted to....such as....those plastic Croc shoes or those hideous Very Bradley handbags. And you know what? If you didn't like Chanel, didn't know Chanel and didn't even care....you'd be addicted too. Why? Spend a Friday afternoon with Chanel and find out.....

This was the event that I couldn't WAIT to go to. As a member of the Museum of Fine Art's Fashion Council, this was the ONE get together I couldn't miss. No matter what.

A Spring Luncheon.

At the home of the Museum Director.

And....

A private Chanel fashion show.

Just for us.

I carefully picked out my clothes for the event. Enhanced my outfit with my silver Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes and of course...a Chanel handbag. I chose my large black quilted leather tote with the hot pink interior with the CC logo in black on the front. Just enough to show my admiration.

What I wasn't prepared for was how AH-MAZING the show was. The clothes, the shoes, those boots! The accessories and oh yes...the HANDBAGS!

The show took place during the luncheon. The models would come out one by one, walk around the tables, let us ask them questions about what they were wearing. So no, I didn't eat a thing. How could I? Surrounded by Chanel I swear I died and went to Chanel Heaven (which is how I want to be buried. Head to toe in Chanel, just in case any of my family and friends were wondering).

Everything was from Karl Lagerfeld's Pre-Fall Paris-Moscow collection. And everything was perfect. The white and black top made with beautful pailettes paired with a black chiffon skirt. With the boots I HAVE to have. Mid calf black leather boots with mongolian fur at the top. Loved it!

The Russian Red wool suit with the black piping paired with over the knee boots. This BRILLIANT red that was subtle with an attitude. I loved it. That was on my list of favorites. I kept that poor model at our table for at least 15 minutes asking her questions and examining the outfit.

Even after the last model strutted around our tables, the show wasn't over yet.

Another room in the house was set up to display all of the fabulous creations we just saw....and there was more. They set up a mini Chanel store. A dream come true! I got the scoop on some of the handbags Chanel will debut for Fall. I got to look at the beautiful clothes and try on some of the jackets....I could have stayed all day.

Alas my Chanel fantasy had to come to an end. ***Sigh***

Oh wait...I guess it never ends does it? Just two weeks later I was at Neiman Marcus buying one of the handbags I saw in the show. A fire engine red Chanel tote. Did you really think I would have walked away from that with nothing? Ahh...you know me so well.
