Bonjour comment ca va?  Perhaps you might enjoy a little show and tell for your viewing pleasure. Every chic young bright woman needs a few chic companions at her disposal.  May I recommend a classic Gucci Hat and Burberry bag.   Investment pieces, such as designer pieces are timeless and can be passed down in the future.  My lady Dior bag inherited from my grandmother is an extra special. Every time I wear it reminds me of her.  Adore  and love  the high end pieces in your accessories repertoire season after season to create an effortlessly chic ensemble.

LILAC LOVE AFFAIR

Happy Saturday Amies, hope you are enjoying some fun and rest!  

Thought you might enjoy a peek at a new edition to my Herve Leger dress collection.  Voila, it is a Leger Couture dress. Llilac is my new obsession. Somehow it just feels so right at the moment, nearly effortless.  Lilac like rose hues are quite complimentary for a woman's complexion to enhance her best assets!

An evening out also calls for a little glamour, so why not try a dress in the shade of lilac or rose for your next rendez-vous!

BONNE ANNEE ET BONNE SANTE AMIES

~Bonne Annee et Bonne Sante Amies~

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season with all those you hold dear.   My holidays were filled with much love and affection from all my loved ones both friends and family.  Thanks as well for all the lovely gifts it was so kind of my friends and family to treat me to a few lovely things. 

To celebrate the New Year I opted to update my classic and elegant make up.  Instead of red lipstick, 2013 is the year of the cranberry lip (pour moi). Well at least for the winter time, or until I feel it becomes a trend.  Time only knows since ass time passed so to did my penchant for red lip, being replaced by a great admiration for Rose, soft pink shades, and shocking cranberry.  

Today my lovely Chanel associate Amie, helped me decided on a few products to update my look!

After a few hours at the Chanel counter.  Time always moves so fast whilst you are enjoying yourself n'est pas!   Then voila, after much deliberation and though, we opted for a classic twist on my chic and minimal signature makeup.  

For the EYES we selected a lovely Les 4 Ombres palette in 33 Prelude 

CHANEL Les 4 Ombres - 33 Prelude

and the lips we choose a Rouge Coco in the shade 17 Orhidee

CHANEL Rogue Coco in Orchidee

For your viewing pleasure the results 

VOILA!

(insert a drum roll please)

LIPS - CHANEL ROGUE COCO 17 ORCHIDEE

 A note, if you have blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair this shade is so complimentary. It brings out your natural beauty so well!

Hope you will have a lovely and restful Sunday evening amies

With my best wishes for the new year!

Hope you will have much joy and success...

Affectionately,

A CHIC MINIMALIST
