One of the things I want this blog to be is a mood board for whatever is currently inspiring me for the whole wide world to see. What is inspiring me right now? Mademoiselle Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. What a name, am-I-right? ( "And it rhymes!" says the inner "poet" in me) Raised mostly alone in a catholic orphanage and constantly harboring dreams of rising to fame and achieving grandeur, Coco was actually not all that much of a role model. She lied, dated married men, and considered herself fashion itself. Her arrogance was legendary. And yet, I can't help but swoon a little bit when I see some purse with an interlocking C's logo or when I see someone at school wearing a pearl necklace.
