The Best Things... COME IN THREES
Lately the Chanel powers that be have been bringing sets together for me without any effort. It's quite uncommon to find three separate matching pieces from the same collection in three different places, but it's happened twice. The main image is the bracelet, necklace and earrings from the Cruise Collection that was Paris-Dubai and the second image is the paint splatter or what some call the Jackson Pollock Collection. I'm selling them separately, but it's always fun to get a

Dear LBD... MEET YOUR MATCH
I used to think finding the
perfect "Little Black Dress" was the biggest fashion dilemma, but now
I know better. Finding something to wear with your LBD is a much more ambitious
undertaking. At first it was the shoe predicament until Louboutin changed our

Seriously Sexy... CHANEL SAUTOIRS
I just can't resist them! The extra long ones are my favorite and so is the versatility to wear it crazy long, double it triple it or even sometimes quadruple it. I go
so overboard layering them I get called Mr. T. I can't pace myself. To me they epitomize all that is Coco Chanel. Classy, elegant and timeless. There is a
complexity to their simplicity. Layering sautoirs is like an addiction. Coco
herself said, "When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put
on." I always ta
