Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers! I'm squeezing in a quick blog post here before I jet off for a family turkey dinner. I saw this gorgeous Spring 2010 Chanel RTW show posted on Style.com and I wanted to share some of my favourite looks with you. I must say sadly I currently own no Chanel items other than makeup, but a watch and classic quilted handbag is most definitely on my list!
Karl Lagerfield created a collection for a youthful, coquettish kind of girl. The setting was a country barn where models walked across a hay-strewn floor, looking slightly devious. The clothes were for the upscale girl gone country, perhaps out for a romp and a roll about in the French countryside.
The classic tweed skirt-and-jacket sets were there, in nude and beige shades (very on-trend) but in very short cuts (also very on-trend). I was crazy about the clunky clogs and wedge heels, as well as the criss-crossed hosery.
I loved the fun and slightly naughty spirit of the collection, and these are clothes that I would love to have in my closet. I also really enjoyed the fuller shapes of the dresses, which further highlighted a narrow waistline.
The two looks below remind me a little Kirsten Dunst's world in Marie Antoinette - completely sugary and frivolous, but just the kind of eye candy I love.

I loved this collection! You picked some great looks. Karl does it again...
sigh, such a beautiful collection, totally brings out my inner girly haha
Loved the setting of this show! And of course Karl can do no wrong with his designs. Even though I find Lily Allen to be a bit annoying, I thought having her rise out of the floor to perform was a pretty nice touch. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving dinner!
Perfect quinessential Chanel.
Now THAT is a designer collection I can identify with!
Pretty dresses, strong colours, and a little saucy.
I LOVE IT!
Great find Liv :)
