CHANEL dreams = "Chanelarella"

I clicked through - twice - the Fall/Winter 2013 slideshow for Chanel last night and had patent leather cuissardes* dreams 'til dawn.  Some beautiful jackets, coats and perfect silhouette images kept them company. 'Still glowing. In love, in love, in love.  
Of course a good Karlism came with the glorious package, "I've got my feet on the ground, but this collection is up-to-earth, not down-to-earth."

My favorite dress, worn with impeccable grace here by Stella Tennant, is so Barbarella + Chanel it can only be dubbed Chanelarella, don't you agree?  Add a wacky space gun....

Jane in all here splendid glory

 

*Cuissardes - a fancy French word I've added to my vocab courtesy of Style.com.  It translates to "waders",  although I doubt Karl had anything so odoriferous as fishing attire in mind when he conjured them.

Cuissardes - commit it to memory, we're going to see a lot of them...
