5.7.19

When cats are camouflaged, does that constitute 'catouflage'?

Today's Paris illustration sees a carefully curated cart of flowers and foliage by Chanel with some not-so-curated kitty cats on board.  Luckily for them, they sport the brand's iconic black and white colour scheme, otherwise they might be given a not-so-gentle nudge up the CHANEL N°5.  And on that note ...

Happy Francophile Friday to you!

Fashionable Furry Friends Friday : Karl and Choupette Furever

22.2.19

The world lost one of its very brilliant creative souls when Karl Lagerfeld passed away.

And a very sweet kitty cat lost her adoring Papa. 

Karl Lagerfeld is quoted as saying, "I am not the most important person in my house. I think Choupette made me a better person — less selfish.”  For those of us who share our lives with animals: we understand well what he's saying!  And on that note ...

We're having some fun today ... Margot Robbie dazzled recently in this fluffy black and white ruffled confection by Chanel ~ and now that Ella's has arrived by registered international carrier pigeon after a special fitting with Karl, we're wondering what you think ...

Who wore it better ?

Choose carefully, as Ella has a memory built to last through all her nine lives!  And on that note ...

Happy Fluffy Fashionable Friday to you !

Throwback Thursday: Ruffled Vintage Glam

5.3.15

I haven't yet scored Chanel at my local animal welfare thrift shops, but I have been lucky with a Max Mara shirt dress.  Much as I tried, I had to concede gingham is not really my best friend so I donated it back to make an animal-loving gingham-fancier's day.  But I scored a keeper in a black Lacroix knit with ribbon ties in strategic places so I can gift-wrap myself for our Hugh or his fun and fetching doppelgänger when he dances along with pet dogs in tow. 

On the heels of last week's vintage Dior, today's fashion illustration is very loosely inspired by vintage Chanel and Christy Turlington back in the 90s.  I took a lot of poetic licence with the top, as it just looked black, black and black to me.  I don't wear much black while the sun is up nowadays, but come nightfall, I'm still a helpless schmuck for its bewitching siren call.  Perhaps you'd like yours in deep purple, cafe au lait or charcoal-grey?  Pop behind the screen and when you're ready, we'll match our ruffles with gold-foiled truffles.  {The chocolate kind ~ not the pig-snuffled kind.}  And on that note ...

Happy Throwback Thursday to you !

Fashionable Friday: Cruising with Chanel

19.10.12

Today, I thought I'd try something novel and follow a train of thought rather than being distracted by something shiny and sparkly.  As luck would have it, I found the two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive when I decided to continue our sojourn with Chanel for a little longer before changing the channel.  {Sorry, I used up all my resistance to putting 'Chanel' and 'channel' in the same sentence last week...}  The blessings of Pinterest saved me having to scan a magazine cutout to show you.   I tried locating it directly on Chanel's site, but it was inevitable that I'd pass out instead from the controversial new Brad Pitt/Chanel N°5 ad {Part 2} currently on the home page. {I don't get the ad at all and I want him to cut his hair, but I didn't mind the distraction.  Momentary distraction.}  As wearing a cuff alone would attract the attention of the constabulary and an entirely different set of cuffs, please ~ let's attire ourselves accordingly.  Gratuitous pretty kitty here.  And on that note...

Francophile Friday: Little Black Dress

12.10.12

Illustration of Chanel's Boutique Cambon, Paris, by Shell-Sherree: ink & watercolour

Last night, I went to a concert and had a simple choice ~ not whether to wear a little black dress, but which little black dress to wear.  This kitty cat has an even simpler choice ~ her little black dress is built in.   She was wearing a string of pearls but remembered Coco Chanel's advice and took one thing off.  {She's perfect as she is.} I'm always fond of black and white, but even more so at the moment.  And even more more so while drawing and painting today's illustration of Chanel's boutique at 31, rue Cambon in Paris.  In the face of so many choices and so much busyness in our everyday lives, there's something soothing about this palette.  Please, hop on our private jet and join me there so we can window shop for the perfect black: matte, satin or tweed.  You can powder your nose here.   Then we can go someplace and invest our funds in some colour co-ordinated macarons and donations to a charity of our choice.  And on that note...

Happy Francophile Friday to you!
