Celebrating Coco Chanel

Today would be Coco Chanel's 123th birthday. She was born in France at around 16:00hrs (Yes,I am that obsessed about her) on the 19th of August in 1883. I don't know what more is left to say about Coco Chanel that hasn't been said before. She was and remains totally amazing.







Her most valuable lessons that I will personally be eternally grateful for are:

  • Be one of a kind!
  • Be bold!
  • Be inspired!
  • Leave a strong impression!





Thank you Madame Coco for giving us fashion and for giving many fashion lovers around the world hope that it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, if you want it bad enough, you will have it.

"It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice." — Coco Chanel


Joyeux Anniversaire Madame Coco Chanel!


Long live her legacy!!

25 & GRATEFUL!







I thought growing even a single day older than 24 would be the scariest thing ever but today I am 25 and very grateful for so many things. I am happy for being the woman I have become, grateful for all my blessings, the love surrounding me and for my family and friends and the amazing relationships I share with them.
