PFW: Chanel SS '15 Handbags



Paris is one my my absolute favourite cities in the world (big surprise) and one of my dreams is to one day attend Paris Fashion Week (PFW). Unfortunately, until then I will have to suffice by live streaming the shows from the comfort of home. Chanel is a one of the most iconic french designer brands and always a must see show. Chanel has products to help everyone look their best from head to toe but my favourite Chanel products are easily their handbags.


At the Spring Summer 2015 Chanel show the runway was dressed as a parisian street with models strolling down the runway chatting to one another as they showcased the new designs. The finale even included a protest with models carrying picket signs with phrases such as "Ladies First" and "Make Fashion Not War" with an overall message to fight for women's rights.



There are beautiful and delicate floral designs on some of the handbags which are perfect for the spring and summer. There is a trend of white handbags in the collection which paired perfectly with the floral designs. I love the fact that many of the bags are larger and crossbody bags which I find are a lot more practical.







This black and white weaved leather and chain detail on this bag is classic Chanel. The chevron stitching is simple and elegant and the metal feet and full zipper keep the bag practical and functional.



These mini colourful clutches are so much fun and different. Leave it to Chanel to make math fun and fashionable with this cute red and pink clutch and make a statement with the "Ladies First" clutch. The bright yellow makes a great contrast to the black background of the bag. Both bags feature the signature CC logo as the closure and a simple chain strap. 



Which bag do you like the most?

Favourite Fall Lip Colours



September is coming to an end, which can only mean fall is in full swing! As the cold weather approaches, I am slowly beginning the transition of my wardrobe and my makeup bag from warm summery colours, to cooler fall/winter tones. One of my favourite ways to change up my look is by mixing up my lip colours! Lipstick is such a fun and simple way to transform your makeup, and I have picked my favourite lipstick shades I like to wear in the fall.

My first pick is a beautiful pinky brown shade from Chanel, one of my absolute favourite fashion brands. The colour is called Mademoiselle (05) and is one of the Chanel Rouge Coco lipsticks. I love this colour because it works for both day and night. Mademoiselle is bit darker than a nude lipstick and I think it will look great with any fall wardrobe! The texture of this lipstick is so smooth and hydrating. The pigmentation is great and it lasts for most of the day. 

My second pick is a classic red colour from MAC. MAC is famous for their fabulous lipsticks. There is so much variety in terms of colours and they have great pigmentation and texture. MAC Red has a satin finish and is described on MAC's website as a "vivid bright bluish-red". This colour is such a classic and looks great on everyone at any time of the year. 


My final pick is a stunning dark berry colour by NARS. The shade is Scarlet Empress and it's a semi-matte lipstick. This colour is great because you can apply it on it's own for a dark berry hue or you can sheer it out with lip balm or gloss to create a pretty raspberry colour. The formula for this lipstick isn't drying and lasts for the majority of the day. 
Check out my swatches of all three colours below!
