‘It’s up to you to make every day as perfect as possible. It’s a question of will and discipline’

If you haven’t already seen this then I highly recommend you taking 8 minutes out of your evening to watch this video. Offering a unique insight into the genius of Lagerfeld, this is one of the most honest interviews I have seen in a long time. He offers so much invaluable advice that could be applied to every aspect of life.

Karl on Karl? Whoever thought of this deserves a payrise..

Having read a lot of hype online about Lagerfeld’s line for Net-A-Porter, I felt pretty reassured that what he was going to offer was going to be pretty special, and I was not disappointed…

However, I do agree with J’s fantastic rant yesterday, that it does somehow take away from the exclusivity of Chanel as a brand. Like many others all over the world, Chanel is a brand to be coveted and lusted over until the days when my wages catch up with my lifestyle tastes…

‘If you come and ask me, “I want to be chic” then there is little hope to become chic because there are peasants in countries who are beyond chic in their poor rags, and very rich women who are not chic in the most expensive dress. So the minute you ask the question in fact there is only an answer to be polite but the real problem is somewhere else.’

    I love the sequined blazer. I'm not too concerned with them copying Chanel's style slightlly as long as it's more affordable than real Chanel! I think other brands rip of designers too much to be too concerned about it. Going to watch the video now. xo

    Mr. Lagerfeld can (Generally) do no wrong. It is so fascinating to be able to peek into the life of someone who is so very much his own person.
