Coco's Home

Whilst browsing The Coveteur, I came across one of the coolest posts by them! A photographical tour of inside Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel's apartment in Paris. I loved how her entire home, from top to bottom is covered in details & touches that till today are reflected in her clothes (thanks a lot to Mr. Lagerfeld).  I absolutely am in love with this place & find it quite inspirational (I love how like fashion, different people style their homes to suit their individual personality)! I'm hoping I can find a way to sneak in (or take some sort of tour if that even exists) of the place next time I'm in the city of lights.  

I've selected a few of my favorite images I hope you enjoy! 

The famous spiral staircase where she used to sit & watch her shows

A chandalier chandelier that she designed herself full of crystals (she was very superstitious & believed in the power of crystals)

Her library where she would entertain her guests (& even journalists)! She also designed the couch!

Her writing desk where most of her sketches were made

Coco Chanel was a leo which is why she had plenty of lion memorabilia around the house

One of the most prominent pieces of furniture where many of Coco's iconic pictures were taken

Thanks to 'the Coveteur' & to Hooked on Houses for the images

xoxo my lovelies,

P.S. If you do know of any tours of her apartment please do let me know! 

P.P.S. Site of the Day: Wanna know (or see) my favourites from The Golden Globes last sunday? Please click here! I know what am I doing promoting my other blog but I thought it would be pointless for me to repeat myself no? I would most definately add Salma Hayek to my list though she looked gorgeous!

P.P.P.S. Song of the Day: Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car by Billy Ocean (because I just found out that he's coming to Dubai in February! & I got BEYOND excited! I.MUST.SEE.HIM! 80's icon revived thanks to the ME! WOOOHOOO!!!! Excitement!!!
