Today I channeled style from the continent. Parisian to be exact. I wore two of the french fashion giants, Chanel and Louis. Chanel supplied the footwear in the style of there best selling ballet pumps and Louis Vuitton supplied the accessories with their Speedy 45 bag. I don't want to give off the impression that I am some big earner that swans around town in the latest High priced goods. I have a few classical pieces some of which are sure to feature in my blog in the near future.

I went for the Monochrome look of the moment with a white top and black jeans, I added a cheeky twist by wearing a black bra so it stood through the white. The white top is really baggy and the sleeves create a sort of more manly shape so i pinned them up to create a more feminine look whislst still retaining the masculine cut of the top. The jeans were high waisted and together it created an effortless but tres chic outfit. I also added a pop of colour in my lips by wearing Mac's Russian Red lipstick because you can't channel Parisian chic without a bit of colour. 

The Chanel pumps however are something of a sore point. After paying £370 for a pair of ballet pumps you would think they could stand the test of time. Well unfortunately not. After a year, of not wearing them everyday, they look slightly tacky. They after a bit scuffed, the heel is worn down and the soles are growing thin. However they are Chanel. As worn out as they look I would not hesitate to buy another pair again and again. Louis Vuitton on the other hand is my favorite and must trusted piece in my wardrobe. It's a good 5 years old now so was a bit cheaper back in the day as a post to the £600 ish price tag they now come with. It is the largest one they do and therefore sometimes comes in useful as luggage as a post to a handbag. That is absolutely flawless, which sort of annoys me as I like handbags, not shoes to look worn. No matter how rough I treat it, it still manages to look as pristine as the day I bought it. Sigh.
