Girls Luv Guns?

Top Gun: noun; informal; one who has attained the highest status or rank in a field or position

Historically, showing off a firearm is seen as a power front. Ever since semi-automatic or automatic weapons existed, so did an image of strength and force that came with owning one. A gun expresses the power a person has, or a veil of authority they might possess. So what have metal firearms that shoot bullets at thousands of miles per hour have to do with anything? Well, I have noticed a semi-recent obsession with the guns in popular culture, especially among women in the music industry...

Those Chanel shoes Madonna has are fantastic!

Perhaps this current obsession with guns is bringing on the new image of strong women (I mean, Rihanna has at least 4 different gun tattoos)? Are the gun images in the media getting to be too violent? Or is it just some trashy, pop culture hype that will end when another media fixation occurs?
We shall see...

Karl Lagerfeld's REMEMBER NOW

This short film, only coming out to be 17 minutes long, was featured and previewed the night before the Chanel Resort 2011 Collection. The entire short movie was written, directed, and designed by Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel) and depicts the life of an assortment of glamorous people in the French Riviera hot spot, St.Tropez. The innocence reminds me of nighttime summers and running wild in the grass. View the beginning (Part 1) below.

Not if, but WHEN, you do see the end, you'll know what I mean when I say that the line "Yes, but this is Saint-Tropez" will never die.

I want this on DVD!

Summer is Here! Chanel's "Carefree" Cruise Collection

While on a hot summer's day in red wooden chairs in the middle of Saint-Tropez's famous Sénéquier, with the sun setting in the background, guests and uninvited onlookers on balconies got to enjoy this recent collection from designer Karl Lagerfeld. With lots of brown fringe, denim, flowing flower print fabrics, bikini tops, bare feet, and big floppy hats, these girls should have walked right off the runway and straight to the beach! There were a bit of mens clothing in the line as well; lots of white or beige sweaters and some sunglasses to top it off.




I know this collection depicts the fashion for Summer 2011, but I want to so badly wear some of it noooooow! Maybe I just shall.

What's so great about clogs?

Recently I've been seeing a ton of clogs on celebrities (from Ashly Olsen to Alexa Chung), and even more on the runway. I'm so confused -- I really don't get it (yet). I guess I must not fully understand the magnificence of the clog? Perhaps it's just a ploy of Holland's to increase traveling tourists? Or a joke on the fashion world?
Whatever it is, it's getting pretty popular...
