Greek To Me, What Chanel Is Saying To You.

May 8, 2017 · In: Fashion

Everything was easy, not contrived.  This is the modern message to me”  Karl Lagerfeld

Even if you consider your world a million miles away from the runways of Paris, Chanel has a message for you and you might actually find it pretty interesting.

I’ve heard a lot of people complain that fashion is a waste, it’s superficial, and it’s ridiculous.  And sometimes those complaints are justified.  But there is a flip side of fashion that I think makes it worth following because it actually means something to each one of us, whether we see it immediately or not.

Fashion is considered an art.  It is a way of speaking back to the world for a designer.  It is his or her response to what is being seen and heard.

The Modernity of Antiquity”

So, what does the Chanel collection that has gone Greek saying to you?  First, let’s admit that our generation wants comfortable.  Second, we demand a sense of time and history.  Third, we hate one size fits all, especially when it comes to shape and fit.  Why can’t I wear a toga one night and a belted shift the next?

Fashion always seeps into interiors.  It will always find its way to your home whether you have a million bucks to spend or five.  The trends start with the designers who have a keen sense of what people want (because if they didn’t no one would buy anything and the designer would be out of a job.)  And then they flesh themselves out in interior trends, perhaps through materials, shapes, ease, and, to my Greek mother’s delight, pattern.  (Bring on the Greek Key!  Opa!)

Don’t take my word for it, though.  See if the Chanel Cruise 2018 line speaks a little to what you want…

#EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual T #EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual Travel Trend Report called Unpack ‘26 and it got me so excited about planning our next trip! 

One of my favorite trends? Farm Charm. In 2026, it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting - and farm stays are leading the way.​ Think nature walks, stargazing, and relaxing with friends and family. Vrbo highlights how travelers are trading city lights for starlit skies.

Comment COZY to get the links to our faves!

Guys!! It’s cozy season and the sheets you sleep on make such a big difference to how you feel as you run and jump into bed (or just glide in nonchalantly!) We love to get cozy with coffees, slow mornings, and cheesy rom coms… and of course, lots of books!

But these luxe sheets by @brooklinen also help us sleep better! They are very cooling and feel super silky! We chose the slate color and it’s so striking and warm! And the waffle weave blanket adds that extra layer of cozy! 

Check out their bundles and save even more! (Because you are going to want it all!) and you can mix and match the colors depending on your bedroom decor! Eekk! I’m soooo excited to get our cozy season started off just right! 

Comment COZY and I’ll send you the links to my faves! XxV
