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."
