Monochrome Jacket – My-wardrobe – Monochrome Blazer
Jul 29, 2009 celebrities, fashion, homages, my wardrobe
My love affair with Chanel-esque ‘homages’ continues as I count down the hours till ’Coco Before Chanel’ and have found a stunning monochrome jacketfrom Jaeger!
Available from My-wardrobe, the Wing Collar Cropped Tux is a soft beige, cropped tuxedo style jacket with black braided edging. It’s modern, open fronted design looks almost like origami - providing great contrast to the black ribboned trim.
For maximum impact, team this monochrome jacketwith an all black ensemble – either over a structured shift dress or black top and cigarette pants for a strong silhouette.
Currently in stock at My-wardrobe, this monochrome jacketis a Chanel-esque must-have!

Following on from my post about channeling the ‘Chanel style’, I’ve seen a great Chanel homage bag at Miss Selfridge. The shop has just dropped shipment on this gorgeous bag, but with such a reasonable price tag I doubt they’ll be in store long!
In keeping with the Parisian design houses’ signature style, this Chanel homage bag is quilted and monochrome – making it the perfect accessory.
Simple and elegant, this Chanel homage bag will go with almost anything and it’s practical too! Roomy enough to fit in almost everything (with perhaps the exception of the kitchen sink) it’s a nifty rucksack that will be useful for an afternoon’s shopping, college books or would serve very well as a work bag.
A monochrome must-have, it’s in store at Miss Selfridge now!

Jul 27, 2009 celebrities, fashion, homages, marks and spencer
An iconic following for many years and with the release of the new film, “Coco Before Chanel” it’s no wonder everyone’s going coco crazy!
Setting the benchmark for chic Parisian fashion, it was Coco Chanel’s simple attitude towards high fashion, her mantra that to achieve classic elegance it’s simply a case of ‘less is more’ has ensured that the signature Chanel style has remained enduringly popular…
To chanel your Chanel style, have a look at the wonderful high st ‘homages’ on offer – my favourite being the Chanel-esque jacket from Marks and Spencer. A simple dogtooth jacket inspired by French couture, this Chanel-esque jacket would look great teamed with a pair of skinny jeans or wide-leg trews.
For a more authentic Chanel style jacket take a look at the 125 Years Boucle Jacket - simple, stunning and currently on sale!
