PARIS JOUR QUATRE: THE ORIGINAL CHANEL ATELIER, 31 RUE CAMBON

The day after being a witness to the madness/glamour of a Chanel Haute Coutre show in Paris, I went to Chanel's original Atelier and Apartment. Chanel opened her first shop in 1910 at 31 Rue Cambon, and there was no way I was going to Paris and not stopping by to say hi. Really I just wanted to see the building for myself and the window displays :) Ah, Paris...

MY FRONT ROW MOMENT



Playing paparazzi outside the Grand Palais in Paris on Tuesday July 5th was one of the best fashion moments of my life. A special thanks to my amazing fiance for hanging out while I got swept up in the fantasy of it all. I love you.

PARIS JOUR TROIS CONTINUED: AN EVENING OF PLAYING PAPARAZZI OUTSIDE THE CHANEL FALL 2011 HAUTE COUTURE SHOW

Before I went to Paris on vacation, I had read on twitter Chanel would host their Fall 2011 presentation at the Grand Palais on Tuesday, July 5th. It was Haute Couture week when I was there so my amazing fiance and I made it down to the Grand Palais to style and celeb stock. Or at least I was, my boyfriend was commenting on the cars.. LOL It was an amazing event, I'm still so thrilled and impressed my man stuck it out with me I can't believe the people I saw and said "hi" to.



Carine Roitfeld!!! Former Editor and Chief of Vogue Paris.



Hilary Alexander below, another legend/icon of mine.. I was weak in the knees at this moment, and these were the first two celebs I saw. Off to a good start.. :)



Grace Coddington bottom right photo. She zoomed right in, didn't stop for anyone but can't hide with that hair. I wish she would have paused to say hi..
