Style by Coco

I am not afraid to admit that I find 

Coco Chanel fascinating.

Hers is a story that is both tragic and inspiring at the 

same time and reading her biography brings a better understanding of how childhood events 

can shape a child's future.  

That being said, Coco's life also proves 

that hard work, belief in self and 

a refusal to compromise your 

convictions can be keys to success regardless 

of one's beginnings. 

So, since I just finished another biography on 

the only fashion designer to make Time magazine's 

100 most influential people of the 20th century

I thought it time to give a nod to Coco Chanel, 

a woman whose name alone evokes 

images of a style that remains timeless.

"It's disgusting to walk around with millions around the 

neck because one happens to be rich.  I only like fake jewelry ... because it's provocative."
