A few things this week that I will be posting. First check out Staness with the Fashion Flash.

And..

I had the opportunity this past week at MAGIC to meet Charlotte Smith, author of Dreaming of Chanel.

Charlotte Smith discovered that her American godmother had made her custodian of more than three thousand pieces, dating from 1790 to the 1990′s, including originals by Chanel and Dior.

In her book, Charlotte offers a glimpse inside wonderful pieces that every woman would love to own, with entertaining back stories behind each piece. The illustrations are by Grant Cowan, and are so breathtaking as each piece tells its own story.

Below, I asked Charlotte what she thought about today’s fashions.
