Furiously flipping through the pages of a magazine a few months ago I immediately stopped at a page with an image of Lip Color Perfection. This image:

Vanessa Paradis in a Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick campaign, her lips delectably tinted with Mademoiselle, the most delicious beige-rose shade I ever laid my eyes upon.

When I got to the Chanel makeup counter to ask about Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle, it was totally sold out! Apparently my idea of perfection seems to be in line with the rest of the world, ha ha!

(The last time I was so keen on getting a Chanel product was after seeing Uma Thurman’s deliciously dark, vampy nails painted in Rouge Noir in the movie Pulp Fiction. That particular nail color was also sold out everywhere I checked.)

Imagine my delight when I learned that Mademoiselle has been restocked. Soon, very soon, I’ll get my hands on you, Mademoiselle! *rubs hand in glee*

Mickey Mouse ears is the new Hello Kitty hair bow. There I said it . Now that that is out of the way…here’s Chanel 2010 Spring/Summer collection at Paris Haute Couture fashion week.

Karl Lagerfeld presents a delicious spread of dresses in cotton candy colors with trimmings of gold and silver.

Updated sharp suits in various shades of oatmeal spiced up with metallic accents.

Some in dusty colors. I’m not feeling these two.

Bows, big bows – loving the dress on the right.

Side note: I like the silver streaks in the hair. :)
