More Coco Chanel...Oui!

I adore Paris Breakfast, a blog dedicated to Carol Gillott's love of painting and lovely Parisien things, which find themselves infused in her delightful watercolors. For her take on the famous French influence Coco Chanel, check out her post The Gospel According to Coco Chanel.

Coco Chanel

My love onces tried to woe me with those double "C" Chanel earrings... you know the ones I am talking about, no? Yet, those shiny little pieces did not impress so I had him return them... They just weren't me, and at $495 a pair, why not just buy me a flight somewhere?

Still, despite turning my nose up towards those earrings, I still have an interest in Coco Chanel (and my love!)... Her impact on fashion is broad and longstanding; she's an icon, after all. So the movie, Coco Before Chanel, definitely has caught my eye. Especially since it features Audrey Tautou as Coco. I haven't yet seen it, but am looking forward to it... it the meantime I found this article from the UK to be a nice interlude.

Have you seen the movie? Do you own any Chanel pieces? (As for me... I was so close to with those earrings... but as of yet, still do not).
