About eight years ago, I found a fabulous book in a second hand store that I really treasure - “The Power of Style.” It features women of class and style, such as Millicent Rogers, Elsie De Wolfe, Pauline De Rothschild, Diana Vreeland and Coco Chanel. Out of al of them, I have to say that Coco was the greatest style icon of the twentieth century.
As always - great post Julia !! xx

I really enjoyed this blog post. I thought it was accessible information to a classic subject: Chanel. It also gave me tons of ideas on decorating my blank new space.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, CindyK! I really didn’t know much beyond the basics of her life and career before I started the research, either, and I found her to be a fascinating woman. She had such humble beginnings–born in a poorhouse in France, orphaned by the time she was 6–that it’s amazing that she accomplished so much in her life. And with so much style! (I have a feeling she would not be impressed with the Old Navy yoga pants I’m wearing today…)
