Until today, I associated the word 'crystal' with only two things. Rather than things, they're childhood memories. The first is my mother bribing me with a 'Barbie Crystal' - which was very expensive at the time - if I behaved on the bus. The second is myself dismantling crystals from my late grandma's chandelier to make necklaces from them. However, after seeing Chanel's crystal-themed collection from today's show, my semiotic habits changed.
How awesome was that show? I mean, really, that crystal backdrop was to die for. I personally adore the colour palette and the metallic and crystal accents. Just to show you I'm not entirely brainwashed with Mr. Lagerfeld, I do confess my lack of love for the silhouettes chosen for this Fall collection. The following are my absolute favourite four pieces. The details, the proportion, the accents and the overall structure of every number is beyond words.
My jaw dropped as soon as I realised that the models walk down the runway in crystal encrusted eyebrows. Now, let's face it, I've been trying to grow out my brows for a couple of weeks already. I have a long way to go. How am I meant to go crystal with them now? I want those brows.
You won't believe my luck today! Not only did I find a couple of pieces I had been eyeing for ages, I also randomly found a pair of vintage dangling crystal earrings! I decided today was my lucky day and I have proof. I'll show you my earrings tomorrow (and a couple of other things too!). I hope you'll like them as much as I do. If you don't, then, okay.
I'm officially obsessed with crystals. Just saying. My mum is terrorised. She thinks I might get into dismantling chandeliers again. OOPS!
