CHANEL Yourself

The mere name of Chanel evokes a sense of timelessness and class. Since its founding in 1901 by Gabrielle "CoCo" Chanel, Maison De Chanel has set the standard for class and style. Today it still remains one of the most sought after designer brands, under Karl Lagerfeld who took the helm as chief designer in 1983. Like Chanel, he looked into the past as inspiration for his designs. He made the point to incorporate the signature Chanel fabrics and detailing such as tweed, gold accents, and chains. Lagerfeld managed to keep what was signature for Chanel but also helped bring the brand into today's modern day fashion world.

If you're looking for a way to get your hands on pieces of this iconic designer, look no further! As many of you know, sister friends of mine, Camille Umland and Connie Dieb, own the illustrious Uptown Consignment located at the intersection of Fitzhugh and Cole in the Uptown part of Dallas. The selection of Chanel ranges from handbags, to shoes, belts, and clothes, and prices that are way better than the retail store.

And what better way to celebrate CHANEL than with a Bling Is The New Black off the shoulder shirt! You can order it in any style, just contact them at www.blingisthenewblack.com


I snapped a few pics with some of my favorite pieces while in my new shirt!

H&M and Tennis Pro Tomas Berdych

H&M signs long-term partnership with international tennis star Tomas Berdych

H&M is proud to announce it has signed a long-term partnership with the international tennis star Tomas Berdych. Currently ranked 6th in the world, Czech-born Berdych will be an ambassador for H&M both on-court and off, and will work closely with the H&M design team on a unique tennis collection which will debut in stores later on. Tomas is one of the brightest talents in a globally popular sport, who also has a personal love of fashion and style, which means he is the perfect partner for H&M.

“I am very excited about this partnership. This is H&M’s first foray into tennis and it is very flattering for me to be their first ambassador. H&M is young, cool and easy, everything I think clothing should be. I love fashion, and it’s great to now have H&M to help me develop my tennis and off-court apparel. I’m sure we will do great things together”, says Tomas Berdych.

“I am so happy to welcome Tomas to the H&M family. Tomas is such an exciting player, and he also cares greatly about style. We can’t wait to start working with him, to watch Tomas wear H&M on court, and to see our upcoming collection with him in H&M stores worldwide”, says Karl-Johan Persson, CEO of H&M.

Tomas Berdych’s partnership with H&M marks a new chapter in the relationship between sport and fashion. The partnership will see H&M clothing worn on court by a top-ranking tennis player for the first time and will bring a professional sports influence to H&M. As well as playing in H&M, Tomas will also be an ambassador for H&M off the court, wearing his pick from H&M’s menswear collections.

27 year-old Tomas Berdych is one of the most-watched players on the professional tennis circuit. Currently ranked 6th in the world, his biggest achievement so far has been reaching the finals at Wimbledon in 2010, beating Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the process and he was also pivotal in the Czech Republic`s Davis Cup victory in 2012. A great role model, Tomas is already one of the biggest stars of a sport growing in international popularity, both in terms of spectators and also those playing the game in their own leisure time. The growth reflects that of H&M, a growing global company which continues to open stores in new markets worldwide.

Italian Fashion Week Dallas

Wednesday October 24th was a wonderful evening at 121 Leslie.

The third day of I.T.F. was kicked off by an awesome runway show from Stella Jean showcasing vibrant hues and rich textures! I came in on the end of the show, so no pics to post, but i go some great ones for the next show!

My favorite from I.F.W. has to be the C.M.J. fashion show.

The leathers from this exceptional collection were supple and sumptuous and left me craving more!!

Pants and jackets were the trend with a rock flair. And the crowd ooh'ed and aah'ed over the gold leather pants. I need to get my order in stat! (I want the grey leather skinny pants and matching jacket!)

Here are my pics from the runway! 

Hope you enjoy
