Octopus Garden: Springtime with Chanel
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade
(The Beatles)
I have been slightly obsessed and enamored with the Chanel show. Everything from the octopus garden set to that Aurora Borealis white sequined jacket that will most likely wind up in the closet of Rachel Zoe. Pearls peppered the model's hair and face. It was a new level of pretty.
That Lovely Face
A new Chanel foundation is arriving in April 2012 called Vitalumiere Aqua Fresh and Hydrating Cream Compact Makeup SPF 15. The rest of the village that created that flawless complexion was Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Finish Loose Powder, Eclat Lumiere Highlighting Face Pen and Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer.
The blush, Glowing Blush Harmony, will be available in January. Just a touch of peach.

The Future Lemmings
As always...Chanel nail polishes look like a breath of fresh air. June appears to look like a soft apricot shade. A conch shell underbelly could have been the inspiration.
Le Vernis Nail Colour in April (available January 2012)
Le Vernis Nail Colour in May (available January 2012)
Le Vernis Limited Edition Nail Colour in June (available January 2012).
The pearly white nail shade featured on some models was created for the runway show. I wish I could find a more detailed shot. Did I detect an aurora borealis vibe?
You can see the nail polishes on the blog of Lisa Eldridge.

I love Chanel!!!
I love the unconventional use of pearls throughout the collection and on the face and hair. (Will hair ornaments and tattoos follow?) I suppose the makeup complements the collection as well, but it looks a little pale. Maybe we'll be ready for it after the fall and winter seasons of stronger colors.
SL: Me too!
Ava: I loved the pearls in the hair. I would love a white nail polish with an aurora borealis effect. Something that gave off sparks.
I thought the foundation looked spectacular. Normally I have been shying away from press releases...so many bloggers...feels like I am just repeating...but that one just had to shared.
I love the nail shades. I would like the orange one.
really love it
