|  C H A N E L ... I S H |



I really do have 'Champagne tastes and Lemonade pockets' . . . I love Chanel!  I have a couple of fab Chanel pieces but I would love SO many more but dropping several thousand on Shoes and Bags on a regular basis is not really an option for me.  So this is where Chanel . . . ish comes in.

The Shep bought me a pair of lovely Chanel signature earrings for Christmas last year and unfortunately the plaque on one the back of one of the earrings came off so I took them into the Chanel Store in Perth to be fixed.  While I was in there I had a look around (it would have been rude not to after all) and I fell in love with a pair of shoes.  They had my name written all over them . . for a start they were black leather boots with metal detail on the toes and that metal detail was GOLD - I do love a bit of black and gold (have too much of it in my wardrobe - but you can never have too much of a good thing . . . can you?).  However, again I needed to pay rent that month so they were not an option (I think the lady in Chanel may have been thinking the same thing when I looked a them - 'yeah I use tissues to blow my nose not $100 notes').





These lovely creations continued to haunt me . . . so $2,470 . . . hmmm I wonder how many weeks Chanel would let me lay-by these shoes for . . .?  So you can imagine my excitement when scrolling through Instagram, a pair of shoes just like these appeared in my feed - OMG I need to get them!!  To make it even better they were only $100 (more lemonade than Champagne so that worked for me).  Even more exciting I had found myself a fab new  website stacked with goodies Choies.

So you really can have Chanel . . . ish at lemonade prices.  Next on my hit list are these little babies:





Again not sure that Chanel Perth would let me Lay-by for SEVERAL months but not to panic I have found a lemonade version, enter Jessica Buurman 






I feel a new blog post coming on soon . . . .
