and karl lagerfeld gets the last laugh.

Or maybe not, since I’ve never once seen a snap of the Kaiser in anything resembling even the tiniest of grins. He may be stoic, but his designs are far from dry.

We often forget that fashion can – and should – be fun. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt (or a little Chanel-encased pill?); the industry itself may seems overbearing and serious with its cult following and all-or-nothing, melodramatic nature, but in the end, fashion can be humorous. Nothing is written in stone or made by the rules. Think about it – what you see in fashion today is but an aesthetically composed piece that once sprouted from a person’s doodles and imagination.

♥

bisous,

La C.

P.S.: For all you curious non-pareils’ sweet tweets, messages, and e-mails asking about the prom (and yes, I did just call it the prom), it was absolutely fantastic, and one of the best nights of my life. Four/five hours of dancing, non-stop, can do no wrong in my eyes. The weekend, however, was quite interesting, and thus resulted with sleepless escapades. I’m still recuperating. (Thus the Chanel pills above.) Ah, rest, where art thou? Save me from these weeks of insanity and work. Or Father Time, hear my pleas. Extend the day to forty-eight hours so I can finish everything? Merci.

    Interesting charm bracelet! Not sure that I would wear it, but it’s definitely cheeky.

    I’m going to sound like your mother here…. but have you ever thought that your inability to sleep results from all the coffee you drink?

      @Julia: Haha, no worries! I can sleep after drinking coffee without problems – I’ve done it for quite a few years (except the 1 week a month where I become an insomniac…). Idk what it is, maybe I just have a lot on my mind/am stressed/am too excited/etc? My parents have sleeping issues too, so that could be a factor…

    Karl definitely has a wicked sense of humor. It seems like he takes fashion and himself so seriously but if you look just a little closer you can see that he’s laughing with (and at) it.
    I love the chanel pill bracelet. I want it.
