Who wore it better, the mannequin or Chanel Prestige eyewear ambassador Claudia Schiffer?

Here’s a little hint as to what I was up to this evening. Not good at guessing games? Okay, fine, I visited the Chanel showroom and got a preview of this year’s (because it is updated annually and all) Prestige eyewear collection.

Don’t worry, I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow.

One of the best, if not THE best part of my job..

Just unloading a new shipment of CHANEL.. never worn.. heart be still. This stuff will be on the site in.. oh-let’s say a couple of weeks.

There are so many events to contemplate Friday, but here’s where I’ll be..

Brace Yourself, It’s True.. CHANEL is now officially out of this world, expensive

The rumors of a price hike were put to rest today, and prices have gone up another 20-30% across the board.

Medium Classic: formerly $2600, now $3400
Jumbo Classic: formerly $2995, now $3795
Jumbo Reissue: formerly $3600, now $4200

OBSESSIVO..

Generally not a huge fan of Drew, but lovin that Chanel necklace. No idea how much it costs because they don’t sell online.
