(Click Play - Chanel Spring 2009 Runway Show)
Does any fashionista not like Chanel? No, really...anyone, anyone? I'm sure there are some out there...but at least they must readily admit to respecting the empire that Karl Lagerfeld has sustained and recreated, tine and time again. I would have died and gone to heaven had I been at this show, above. Lagerfeld's designs echo femininity in all the right ways and frankly, Chanel is one of the most recognized names in luxury and haute couture fashion. Knockoff galore, everyone seems to want their little piece of Chanel...but I'm a supportive of purchasing only the real deal!
Moving on...it's no wonder that Chanel's Spring Collection was heavy with tweeds, bows and lace. A few eye-catching accessories were quickly noticeable by moi; the Chanel Shopping Bags recreated in leather were stupendous and the dual-tone tights (almost looking like trendy knee-highs) are a new creative spin on Chanel's Fall Double-Sided Tights. Take a peek at the looks below and know I was literally picking up my jaw because I yearn to wear the long, charcoal empire gorgeousness on the bottom right.

Yes, Chanel comes with a price tag that many cannot afford and will never own. But adding a little Chanel-inspired fun into your everyday wardrobe is actually rather easy. By mixing in sweet bows, pretty ribbon, classic tweeds and lace tights...you've literally done the trick! I've added a little Runway to Reality for you, below...I wanted to make sure and show you that a Chanel 'look-alike' can be had for affordable prices, too. Enjoy!
