Chanel is Blake's drug

Posted Jan 30 2008 @ 11:20 PM

In Paris, France for Paris Fashion Week, "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively was photographed with iconic Chanel designer and living legend Karl Lagerfeld at the Chanel Haute Couture Fashion Show on January 22. Dressed in (what else) head to toe Chanel, Blake stunned in a simple yet chic LBD with a silvery long cardigan, opaque black tights, pearls and of course the requisite Chanel bag. To get Blake's haute couture look for less, start with Gold Hawk's similar Accordian Dress in Dark Slate and pair with a classic string of pearls, like Brian Nagourney Jewelry's Tang Dynasty Loops Necklace. Top your look off with an elegant long sweater, like Elizabeth Gillett's Brenda Sweater in Ivory, and you're practically runway ready. Going to the Chanel runway show and meeting Uncle Karl must have been a dream come true for Blake, who has recently confessed of her undying love for the classic designer. Blake says, "I love Chanel so much. It’s everything. It’s the epitome of what a lady should be. It’s class. I have the shoes, the jewelry, it’s really a problem. They say it’s an addiction. Some people take drugs; I do stuff with Chanel. The bags are a problem. I just got one right before I came here. I just got this big, beautiful, leather clutch that says Chanel on it. It’s black. It’s actually written out Chanel.. instead of the CC, which you don’t see very often. That was really exciting." How about the rest of you ladies, do you feel the same about Chanel? Is it really, to quote Blake, "everything"?
