Image by The Fashion Wire

Chanel has recently launched it's avant-garde fall collection of metallic nail polishes. Inspired by precious rocks and minerals, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, Peter Philips, brings us an enviable selection of new shades. The collection consists of Graphite (shimmering metallic dark silver), Quartz (pearled brown) and Peridot (pearled green-gold). I want them. All of them.

Chanel, you've done it again!!

PHOTO DIARY: PARIS

Effortless Elegance: two words which perfectly sum up the enviable style of Parisians.

The late and great Coco Chanel once said "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." In Paris, we are surrounded by beauty- it's in street, the architecture, the parks and the cuisine.

The most undeniable thing is that in Paris, style is way of life. You will never witness a Parisian leaving the house in a pair of sweatpants. Never.
