New Wave

Chanel Pop of Colour

Nouvelle VagueAfter the success of Chanel`s latest nail polishes “Jade” (mint green) and “Particulière” (taupe), a new hype will start when the “Les Pop-up” collection for summer is going to hit the stores in April / May. So ladies get yourselves on the wait lists now! The new limited shade to have is an electrifying turquoise blue called “Nouvelle Vague” reminding me a lot of Andy Warhol.

The It-colour for lips will be Rouge Allure in “Génial”, a wonderful fresh coral tone. Peter Philips, Chanel`s creative director of cosmetics, used the bright pouts already on the Chanel Haute Couture S/S 2010 runway. See for yourself how beautiful and vivid it looks.Genial

Something else caught my eye at the show: The futuristic shiny silver on the models` nails, looking almost liquid or foiled. Obviously, the holographic polish was the revived Chanel Duo Platinum Silver which was only available in the UK in 2007. Hopefully it will be our turn now.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Cheche

CIMG4397I am welcoming spring today with my new Louis Vuitton Bohemian Monogram Cheche cross body bag. The textile is very soft and comfortable with dazzling hints of coloured leather that comes in red (like the one I am wearing) or blue. The fabric is innovative due to a new weaving process that creates the black-on-beige jacquard pattern with fluorescent and lurex threads woven through. The lining is made from bright soft calfskin leather and so pretty. On the runway the bags were presented with long attached tassels that are available seperately. Today I am finishing off the look with the matching colourful Monogram Cheche stole and a nautical dress from the cruise collection. It feels unbelievably fresh and summery.

Below you can find all different models of this line. I tried them all and my favourite was definitely the Bohemian. Which one will be yours? Have a look at your nearest Louis Vuitton store.

Probably you are wondering why I have been showing you so many Louis Vuitton bags recently. This season they are my absolute favourites. Great shapes, innovative materials and extraordinary colours with that little edgy New Age twist convinced me right away.
