I have to admit, I was a bit of a socialite for most of this week (hence the lack of posts). In the space of four days: I was in the hairdressers twice, got dolled up twice, slept about four hours for each of those nights. So, in other words-lots of fun!
This week, hopefully, will be more mellow and relaxing. I got this Coco Chanel book from my sister and so far, so good. I love reading about the somewhat mysterious legend that is Chanel; her life, her apartment, her inspirations and so on. Socialising doesn't allow for much fashionable reading, but I will more than make up for it this week. A nice bed time story, yes?
Have you read or are you reading this book, also? What do you think?

I've never read it but I love books like that, you'll have to do a review and let us know if it is any good!
xXx
I've never read that. I've got the other one by Edmonde Charles-Roux which is full of wonderful pictures too. I bet they're both lovely!
Ooh I should check out that book. And it's good to have a life sometimes, haha...I need to do that

I have never read that, but so exciting...

I have that book. It is amazing!!
Love.
Sounds like a great week to me!
Woow so pretty LOVE the book
Nice to be a socialite for a while :)The book looks like a good read.
No, never even heard of this book. But it looks fascinating. She was such a pioneer in fashion and a public figure, yet so private at the same time. I think her mystery was a part of her becoming everyone's obsession. Would love to read this book!
Fun pictures! Sounds like a very enjoyable week, too. I have not read this book on Chanel -- so far only the one from the Met exhibition a few years ago -- but I've heard it's very good. Enjoy! xo style, she wrote
I love this book.. Its on my bedside table..

No no no, Sarah, this simply won't do! You got dolled up TWICE and didn't take pictures to share with us? Unacceptable! :P
