Leave it to Chanel to make a fashionista’s heart leap with joy. For this year’s Fashion’s Night Out, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Makeup, has created three gorgeous matte lipsticks with matching nail polishes in chic, sophisticated tones of plum, pink and beige. The so-called collector-worthy “Les Twin-Sets” collection will arrive in Chanel boutiques September 6!
Rouge Allure Velvet for € 30.50 each
Le Vernis for € 25 each
“Infidèle” is a saturated rose pink. A great colour that suits most skin tones.
“Provocation” is a rich deep plum that will work perfectly with the season’s dark luxe trend.
“Délicatesse” is a muted beige, ultra-sophisticated and elegant.
Another gorgeous limited edition from Chanel for the 4th edition of Fashion’s Night Out, just like “Les Jeans de Chanel” (2011), “Les Khakis de Chanel” (2010) and “Jade” (2009), the stunning mint green nail polish that has started the nail polish hype of the last years.
And no end in sight! Stay tuned for more.

This was my look last week for a lunch meeting in Zurich. I love the colour combination of pink, brown and light grey – always preppy.
You might remember the dress because I wore it to the Gucci S/S 2012 show last September in Milan. For the previous, more colourful look, please click here. Good news is that this pink dress is on sale 50% off now and with its vibrant colour a great investment piece for the next season.
My look: Two-tone silk crepe de chine dress, alpaca and wool gilet, grey python bag, brown leather boots, all by Gucci, pink bleached denim scarf by Louis Vuitton, ring Diorette by Dior Haute Joaillerie and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis.
On my lips: Rouge Allure Velvet 37 L’Exubérante by Chanel, a wonderful matte pink tone.
LoL, Sandra
I love this bleached denim scarf from Louis Vuitton’s S/S 2010 collection.
