Coco Cocoon - Lily Allen

No self-respecting style or design blog would be complete without a mention of this simply tres chic campaign by Chanel. Lily Allen, in my opinion is perfectly suited to a modern day Holly Golightly, albeit a slightly more street-smart version. Truman Capote would approve.

Lily Allen is the face of Chanel’s “Coco Cocoon” Line: the stylish British singer has been chosen by Chanel to head the campaign with bags from their new line of cushioned bags.

Styles in this new range include a shopping bag, bowling bag, suit bag and a trolley bag, in fabrications of nylon or lambskin and colour options of black, beige, chocolate, burgundy, taupe, grey, gold and red!

Available now in CHANEL boutiques. 

Marie Antoinette Inspiration

 

Despite the knowledge of the gruesome events that took place or the inequality in the streets of Paris and the massive social change that took place, I love these laces, shapes, colours, girliness. I would have hated to live then but the "look" ofthe time in Versailles is so beautiful and opulent.

Stylish Ladurée of Paris

 

Ladurée is a luxury brand of cakes and  pastries, known for the double layered macaron, fifteen thousand of which are sold every day.

 

Ladurée made the pastries for the film Marie Antoinette, directed by Sofia Coppola; its famous macarons can be seen in a scene between Marie-Antoinette and Ambassador Mercy.

The flagship tea rooms are located on Ladurée Champs Elysées and there are numerous locations across France and worldwide.

Tiles Inspiration

I just found "Cocotte at Emery" & Cie:

 

 

 
"The word evokes memories of childhood and images applied to any surface as if by magic ... obviously long before the days of “stickers... It is the meticulous precision that interests us. Certain motifs are incredibly laborious to reproduce by hand, such as the “Méchants oiseaux”, or virtually impossible such as the lacework in the “Cocotte” ..."
