Chanel-Esque

Chanel, Pearl, Grace, Gold, Classic Appeal

If I was going to have to choose a favorite brand, it would undoubtedly be Chanel. I love their timeless, classic appeal and am inspired by Coco Chanel's own story (which you can watch a series of stunning videos about on their website). 

For my media coursework I had to write an essay on gender representation in advertising, focusing on a particular type of product. I chose perfume and then decided to focus more specifically on a particular brand- Chanel (natch). We then also had to create our own adverts, based on the product we had been researching, and these are my results. 

My perfume 'Pearl' by the brand 'Grace' was, as you can probably see, heavily based on the Chanel N°5 campaigns- I even used the N°5 bottle and just re-branded it. I sincerely hope I did the brand proud.

Suit Cravings

Classy grunge, Slim cut, Simple, Pinstripe, Grey check and Black, Topshop

I'm a real sucker for some great fashion photography and Topshop is one of my favourite brands- I honestly think they could sell me a potato sack if they styled and photographed it well. Hey, at least I'm admitting to it! These are some of the best shots I have seen from Topshop in a good while and needless to say, I am now craving a suit and have thought of a whole host of places/events I can wear it to. 

My heart has been stolen by the grey check suit, although I'm not sure I can justify the price tag of £150 for it, so I will be hunting around. Wish me luck...
