    The Great Mademoiselle Chanel left us so much more than fashion.  Besides timeless fragrance and an inspiring bio, she left a certain panache we find in all things classy.  Here are just a few lovely things to remind us what the Chanel experience really means.  Special thanks to Chandra over at the Style Circle over at SMP for putting together these inspirations . . . ...

    We were so honored when Janel from Focus Photography asked for our help with her very own baby shower. Showers are so much fun, there are so many ways to incorporate sweet details that reflect the mommy and baby to be. We are even more excited that On to Baby, by Wedding Chicks loved the shower so much, they shared featured it today. Janel wanted a Chanel inspired theme, and  “Sweet Baby No1″ was such a fun event to help create. The guests enjoyed specialty drinks & bite size goodies – even a create your own perfume station!

    Source: Lucia Paul Design/West Park Photo via HWTM I have been super excited to share a Parisian Chanel-themed hen party with my readers! I think this makes an absolutely gorgeous, glamorous (and totally do-able) theme, especially if your bride-to-be is a sparkly Sex and the City type, or if you’re looking for a really grown up party. In fact, it works just as well as a birthday party theme, or even just a girly night out (who needs a reason, right?).

    The great Mademoiselle Chanel spanned several eras of changing fashion. Her most notable signatures are close fitting cloche style hats, halters, separates, jerseys and strands of many different pearl necklaces all worn at once. Until her retirement in 1939, she was the probably the world's most influential designer. She made a comeback in the 1950s ushering in her most enduring contribution to fashion, the Chanel suit still popular today. I see the Chanel bride of today much like Mademoiselle herself. Casual and classy, sophisticated and quirky. Above all stylish. The bride above is in separa...

    Genius! I love Massimo Gammacurta's Chanel logo-pops! Even though they're currently only part of a conceptual still life project by the Italian-born photographer, I think they would be so much fun for a bachelorette party! You can check out his book here - there's Gucci lollies, too! ;o) {Via A Mad Tea Party with Alis}...

    I was seriously blown away when I first saw these images that Jasmine Star took at a recent photoshoot I did with a bunch of FABULOUS ladies from the wedding industry.  The lovely Jaclyne of Heavenly Blooms asked me to be a part of the shoot and I was so excited once I heard the design for it.  She planned a flawless photoshoot along with the help from the talented Amanda from In the Now.  So many wonderful vendors came together to make this photoshoot such a gorgeous experience…thanks for letting me be a small part of it!  The look for the day was a Chanel inspired bridal shower & I...

    We love Axioo at Rock n Roll Bride HQ…and apparently so do you. You’ve gone nuts over their darling and sweet videos and innovative and adorable photo shoots. I can’t say I blame you, not with prettiness like this on show…and the giant Chanel bag pictures are almost too much to bear! The guys are traveling around the world over the next few months so be sure to get in touch if you want to be captured by them. You can see where they are going and when on their blog. Thanks David and the team for sharing as always! ...
