Chanel recently released a fantastic set of videos simply titled, "Inside Chanel." The videos chronicle the rise and influence of Gabrielle Chanel (previously Coco and Mademoiselle). They're all so well done--I recommend watching them all. One of my favorites tells the story of "the jacket."
I've always loved the classic Chanel tweed jacket and, luckily for my budget, I've been seeing the style pop up in lots of stores for prices falling far below the thousands of dollars a real Chanel costs. I just picked up a similar style sweater from Loft (below) to tide me over until I can afford the real one (not for a very long time, I assure you). Keep reading to view some similar styles and check out all the videos to see the fabulous ladies (and icons in their own right) who have donned Chanel jackets through the ages...
Loft Tipped Tweed Open Jacket (the one I recently purchased--can't wait to wear; outfit post to come)
J Crew Collection Jeweled Jacket --absolutely stunning, hence the $$$ price tag
Until next time,
