Taking a tour of the Chanel jacket

Well you can imagine how ecstatic I was to purchase this jacket on Friday at Mrs Stings designer sale. Considering brand new boucle tweed Chanel jackets retail at around £2500 and that I purchased mine for £100, it was the bargain of the century-plus it was nice to know that proceeds of the sale are going to UNICEF, so in effect it was a high end charity purchase!!

I have never seen a Chanel jacket that close to inspect or try on, so I have been poring over it very studiously. They are made with the finest details, pure wool boucle tweed, silk lining and mother of pearl buttons.
The jacket was made in France and according to the date code on the label 97P, I believe this to be from the 1997 Spring collection. The jacket is immaculate and may not have been worn as it is in an 'as new' condition.
All Chanel jackets are weighted with a gold chain so they hang properly against your figure.

This jacket is not yet vintage, nearly there!!! I will treasure this as its most certain I would not buy one at full retail price and jackets of these nature are like gold dust to buy second hand.
Thanks to Red Carpet Fashion Awards for sharing the sale and for WendyB-without her spot we would never have gone there in the first place-it was certainly meant to be, thats for sure!!

Having it All-The Perfect Day Ends with The Perfect Evening

Its very rare to have the 'Perfect' day, but thats what I did have yesterday, when I met up with my gorgeous blogger friends Wendy Brandes and Times of Glory, then onto the 'Perfect' evening with Wendys gorgeous husband Paul, taking us lucky ladies out for dinner!!
The day started with myself and Wendy meeting outside her London hotel-we then decided to get a cab to check out the designer sale 'Mrs Sting' was having-a recommendation from Red Carpet Fashion Awards that eagle eye Wendy had spotted before meeting me!!
To say there were designer bargains is an understatement-you name a designer, their clothes were there, at totally rock bottom prices, with all proceeds going to UNICEF-what could be better!!


Myself and Wendy with our haul of designer goodies!!
I bagged a Chanel jacket for £100(!!!), a Roberto Cavalli top, a Pucci top, a Jean Paul Gaultier top, a Versace day dress and a Burberry blazer-all for a total of less than £200!!!
Well Wendy and I were shopped out, so we staggered a few steps onwards to a lovely little pub, for a liquid lunch and flowing conversation! Times of Glory rang about 3.30, to check our whereabouts and of course wanted to check out the designer sale too!!


Our 2nd visit and Wendy looks stunning in this McQueen jacket, which she didn't purchase, as she had already bagged a totally gorgeous white crochet Dolce and Gabbana summer coat, a Zac Posen exquisite evening gown, a Versace black top and a totally gorgeous buttersoft leather Christian Dior jacket!!!

Well, onwards to Harvey Nichols, where Wendy bagged another superb bargain-some L'Wren Scott black sequin trousers that are totally and utterly divine!!! Another pitstop required, so we retired to the 5th floor at Harvey Nicks for a pitcher of Pimms-oh, how decadent of us!!!
Time was marching on, so a cab took us back to Wendy's hotel, where her wonderful husband Paul was ready to take us for dinner-but not before I captured some shots of Wendy in her stunning new Ossie purchase!!!

Wendy and Paul-Wendy looks fabulous in this Zac Posen gown-what a stunning find!!
Dinner was exquisite-I had smoked salmon for starters, veal for main course and coffee brulee and espresso ice cream for dessert-oh what luxury and decadence to end the evening!!!
A big, big thank you to Wendy and Paul for such a special evening and I've met a special friend in Wendy-our pub chat was a lovely way of getting to know each other more and also our mutual love of Ossie Clark ensured we had plenty to talk about! Times of Glory is another wonderful, sweet girl-another good friend and it was a pleasure to meet her-we all had a fantastic day-one I won't forget in a hurry!!

Favourite Colour+Favourite Vintage

With all the excitement of seeing gorgeous blogger friends Wendy Brandes and Times of Glory tomorrow, I've overlooked the other major happening for me this week-the purchase of my gorgeous vintage red Chanel bag!! I did have a scare as it should have arrived by next day delivery and it didn't!! I thought it had got lost-oh dear, I was having kittens, to say the least! Thankfully it arrived a day later and I'm soo pleased with it!!!
I previously had a Chanel bag, but I sold it about 3 years ago-it was too big really-this one is soo cute, it fits right under my arm!! When the weather is really nice, I will use it and show you it in action-I daren't get it out in the weather we are having-the rain will stain it terribly!!
