So by now I am certain you are obsessed with bringing a little Birkin bohemian style into your closet asap.  And to answer the call for crochet we have this perfect summer LBCD (little black crochet dress) from a master of 70s boho glam: Giorgio di Sant Angelo.  

1970s Giorgio di Sant Angelo.  RARE vintage

What I especially love about this dress is that it has a little cardigan with it so it could easily take you from day to night.  Or from a plane ride to Nice to Jimmy's in Monte Carlo : )

The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld

The little black jacket: A Chanel classic.  Timeless. Iconic.  Forever stylish.  An exhibit for the new book, The Little Black Jacket, recently opened in Tokyo.

And yesterday Chanel launched a behind the scenes look at The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld on their website.  

I am thrilled to see Vanessa Paradis featured in RARE vintage in the book!  She is wearing a 1970s Giorgio di Sant' Angelo white lawn Victorian-esque ensemble from RARE vintage paired with a Chanel black jacket!

Love the little parasol!  What will you wear with your Chanel little black jacket?!
