Real Girl, Real Vintage in Chanel

I Love White.  I Hate White.  White.  Oh no, there is a little splash of my lunch on my white.  Ick, how did my white turn this color after I washed it?  Where did this yellow come from?  

I have had less a love affair with white and more of a torrid relationship.  I say yes when I mean no and I say no when I mean yes to white.  But there white was all over the fall 2014 runways in NY, taunting me and I find myself torn between a dream of a crisp white wardrobe and the more dingy reality.  

So when I acquired a pair of Chanel resin cuffs for RARE vintage, one in white with black CCs and one in black with white CCs, I thought this is a wearable white, a forever white.  Well, they did not stay long at RARE vintage (and no, not they did not find their way into my closet : ) although I seriously thought about it...

I loved seeing a similar cuff on this lovely girl during NYFW with red  nails, red lips and, gulp, a whole lot of white...  Real girl, real vintage in Chanel cuffs:

and at RARE vintage...

Chanel black and white resin cuffs with CC logo.  SOLD.

Chanel Black and White Cuffs

"Women think of all colors except the absence of color.  I have said that black has it all.  White too.  Their beauty is absolute.  It is the perfect harmony."

Coco Chanel

Just in at RARE vintage: a pair of Chanel glossy resin cuffs with signature CC.  I love that they are the mirror image of each other.  Black and white. Timeless.  Classic.  Forever.  So Chanel...

Santa Baby!

Have you been a good girl?  I think I have been a good girl, so maybe someone will slip a little Chanel under the tree for me.  I might even be my very own Mrs. Santa Claus and slip myself a little something by Chanel.  I do have my eye on something at RARE vintage... but don't worry there are three of them so there will still be two available ; )  I will show you tomorrow.  Very Marie Antoinette via Chanel.

I LOVE these Chanel bracelets from the late 1980s.   I love the classic leather woven chain bracelets and I especially love the colors - so perfect for resort.  So perfect with jeans and a tank top.  So perfect for a bit of glamorous edge to just about any outfit.  That is also what I love about the Chanel chain pieces: a nice little Catholic girl like Coco Chanel put a touch of S & M naughtiness into her jewelry and bags.  Always a lady but never a boring lady.

Now let me tell you about the large chain cuffs woven with silk velvet ribbon.  The ribbon is an antique ribbon and these were only made for the runway show.  So they are very rare and special.  And very RARE vintage don't you think?!  Makes me think of The Pretenders, Brass in Pocket.

Cause I'm going to make you see - there's nobody else here
No one like me.
I'm special, so special.  The Pretenders

So enjoy a little music while you ponder these Chanel beauties and remember Chanel sells very quickly so don't ponder too long.
