Blake Lively for Chanel

  • Mademoiselle
Just a few months ago, news and rumors were spreading around about the fact that Karl Lagerfeld is choosing Blake Lively as the new face for Chanel.

Blake Lively. Oh by the way this was part of the scene in an episode in Gossip Girl shot in Paris. She's seen carrying a Fendi Peek-a-boo bag in watersnake, and I've actually seen it personally! I think I've blogged about it before, but anyway, it's lined with yellow watersnake, and black suede. It costs RM19,000 for this gorgeous bag. Not sure if it's still available in the store or not.

And this is Blake, in a Chanel dress. Stunning, ain't she? She's always the IT girl and whatever she puts on, it always looks better on her than other celebrities.

What I always thought of when Chanel comes to my mind, is, young, beautiful, popular, LIVELY, IT girls, and no other bags could look better than those Chanel classic flaps (can I say, including the Birkin?).

Well for now, the 2 hottest thing on Earth, Blake Lively and Chanel, collaborates together and produces...












Blake Lively for Chanel Mademoiselle.

Awesome. The photo is very elegant, beautiful, and somehow it feels a little bit dark here. The sad part is, this is Blake Lively! Where is the LIVELY-ness in this photo? I feel that, since it's Blake Lively being chosen for this, it should display her personality, not the photographer nor the designer's.

Oh well, I'm still waiting for the one day in 2011 that I would trade my 2 year old Louis Vuitton wallet for a Chanel one. :D

Hey, do you think it is okay for a guy to use a Chanel GST? Hahas I saw one in my local Chanel boutique with black caviar and silver hardware and I instantly fellin love, but I just want to find out if it might look weird?..and also, my wardrobe is mainly black and whites so do you think it would match? Thanks, Dylan.

Anonymous : Hey I'm so sorry I saw this comment pretty late.

First and foremost, the classic Chanel bags are definitely NOT for guys. But sometimes there are rules to be changed haha.

If you were to carry both handles on the shoulder, I would say no, it will look really weird and feminine. But if I am not mistaken, the strap can be pulled so that one side would be shorted and the other made longer right?

If that is so, I think it'll make the bag strap look longer just like messenger bags and it'll look better on the shoulders.

And yes, black goes with EVERYTHING amazingly. :D

Btw, do you have a Classic Flap Chanel?

Anonymous : Oh and take a look at the way this girl is carrying, I think it'll look good on some guys this way too.

Hey, Dylan again:) no, I don't own anything Chanel except for a limited edition black scarve. Hahas im thinking to swap my current Gucci Madison to something else>< but you think I should get a peekaboo? In what material and color? Hahas I'm like 15^^

Anonymous said...

Hmmm..btw why the sudden mention of the Chanel flap?:)) Haha I don't really like it, but I actually like the 2.55 reissue ALOT. But both my long term goals, birkin and 2.55 require some big time saving>< but thinking to get on in the short term, like maybe a peekaboo or 2.55..but it seems feminine LOLSXD

Anonymous said...

Haha and I jus saw a peekaboo with snakeskin lined on the inside for S$5840. I don't really think it is worth it. And u happen to know the price for one that is I full snakeskin and how much did u pay for yours?..

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : Hey I'm so sorry I haven't been checkin' here for pretty long.

You have the Madison?? It's a nice bag! I love the one in tan ostrich skin.

Birkin - Dude saaaaave up first hahaha. There is no hurry in gettin' it, just make sure the money's present, then it's allll yours.

Hmmm ok if you're aiming for a short-term goal bag on either the Peekaboo and 2.55, it's definitely up to you on which you would prefer, because both are VERY gender bender bags which very few guys can pull off.

I have never seen a guy using the 2.55 nor the Peekaboo in my life, so you'd have to have high confidence in carrying those. I would say the 2.55 is slightly more feminine than the Peekaboo.

As for these classic bags, I would definitely recommend classic colours, but if you don't mind having a striking colour (like mine, although I do regret a little), then it'll be fine too. Try to stay away from black.

For material wise, depends on your budget too. The made-to-order Peekaboo in calf leather is around Rm15000 as of today, and the ostrich is I think around RM60k to RM70k.

Snakeskin lined for S$5840... it's not too bad, but I think with that amount of money you should invest in something more classic. A full snakeskin one should cost somewhere around RM17000 to Rm20000. And for mine I paid Rm11000.

RAWR There's sooooo much to explain about the bags, colours, materials, relating it to your physique, confidence. I suggest you drop by a boutique to check it out, ask the staff for opinion (I think you're in Singapore right? I'm not sure of the S.A there, but the ones in Fendi Msia are VERY nice people), and yeah, don't rush. :)

AND RAWR 15!!! I was 16 when I got my first designer bag!

Hahaha ur so funny^^ yeah I sorta decided to stick with my ostrich Madison( yes>< hahas) and decided to spend like 2k on a Kelly double tour, ray bans and collier de chien>< hahas mind recommending me the color U would pick and material? This combination would cost around s$2k+ or u can recommend another combination of items u would spend on? Thanks( Dylan)

Anonymous said...

Haha also, to be honest only very few shades look good on me lols, like black white grey and brown..so yeah hahas and I am currently 1.72>< only and sun bronzed skin and quite fit lols>< so recommend me something? Hahas

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : LOL! I have many people saying that I'm funny >< Whyyyyy D: Hahaha.

So alright, I always decide on the hardware colour first, whether I want it in silver or gold. For the Kelly double tour and Collier de Chien, you can go for either white, gold/brown or black. I'd love it all with gold hardware. As for material, well leather's a first choice, but if you don't mind forking out more money, I'd love the lizard one. Beautiful.

As for Ray Bans, it's definitely an aviator for me. But if you already have those, go for something else... start with the frame colour, get something you don't have yet. As for lens colour, depends on your occasion, I love my dark black Chanel glasses when I'm driving under the crazy bright sun, and my brown GA aviator when I'm cruising in the evening when the sun is setting.

Other combination ... I'm not sure what you have already, but I'd love to get myself some shoes, or maybe some jewelries like Juicy Couture's charm (as pendants) or maybe Tiffany's silver stuffs. And the trend now for guys is having a clutch. I'm hoping to have one by the end of this year. ^^

Ah, sun-bronze, 172, and fit. You can basically carry anything!

Anonymous said...

Well, first of all u ARE funny^^ hahas i have already bought a KDT yesterday>< epsom in eutoupe and palladium hardware..hahas i still have some money left so..heres my list. 1: YSL Malibu mid top sneakers grey and black.
2:A&F skinny
3:Raybans Original Wayfarers
4:Fendi square buckle belt in ruth black/Gucci belt with interlocking G.
I am like in a major dilema of which to get as i actually am a monogram-disliker..
also if i were to buy either one i would have like 400 400 left..what would you recommend? hahas

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : Hahaha okay okay, I shall take it as a compliment. :P

Okay, KDT, done. Next... I'd say the skinnies are not necessary, right? The YSL sneakers and the Ray Bans seems like a fine choice. As for belt, I'd pick Fendi over Gucci anytime! That's cause basically you can see Gucci EVERYWHERE on people's arms, crotch and toes. So no Gucci.

And yeah, monograms are ... oh well you get it hahaha. 400. Hmmm...Coach? They don't have many clutches though. I'm not sure what brands Singapore has, but I know there's A LOT more than there is here in Malaysia. So I don't know what to recommend for this.

Anonymous said...

Haha then i guess ur welcomed:) i actually liked the Fendi one more than the gucci one, but its like SGD 120 more..lols. Coach?OO haha im sorry, i have like a major adversion to it hahas its like everywhere on the street lols. And the skinnys, i sorta like them lols>< and so does Ripley(my gf hahas) cos she says it makes my butt look really cute hahahahasXD. OH YEAH..ALMOST FORGET?! Hey, gimme some opinions on this?: (http://store.prada.com/en/US/woman/small-accessories/cosmetic-pouches/1M1175_QWA_F0002) Will it seem weird if i carry it? and opinions? hahahas thanks( Dylan)

Anonymous said...

Which i think it WILL cos Prada makes very feminine bags. hahas -Dylan

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan: Hmmmm but I would rather spend the extra SGD120 on the Fendi which VERY FEW guys have, rather than the G-buckle hanging on almost every fashionable guy's ... oh you geddit.

And your skinnies ... up to you la haha, and why not if it "bonds" you both closer. :P

As for the clutch, wear a black blazer, jeans, sneakers/dress shoes, and you can totally work the pink one LOL. I'd love to get one myself, but, I need a lot of essential things like my wallet, my key pouch which has all my important cards including my IC and my license, my Eclipse sweet. I don't think this flat clutch would do me any good haha.

And depends on which bag, one of my aims is to get the Galleria in the biggest size. ;D

Anonymous said...

Hahaha I totally agree with you, the envelope in black from prada is like wayyyyy too thin to put anything much..yeah..sorta wanna go for the Fendi one already LOLS. Yeah, wanting to get another bracelet lols from givenchy, but it is no where to be seen on givenchy.com, so I'm wondering if the item even exists ( http://www.polyvore.com/givenchy_obsedia_python_bracelet/thing?id=56541890 ) u mind helping me check it out please, thanks:)))))) Dylan

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : Oh okay, that's nice haha. I hope to get a Fendi belt soon too. Haven't got any belt since my Hermes 32cm one like ... 2 years ago. The bracelet ... I've never seen that before. :/ But I've seen a bracelet in Givenchy, there are the ones in white and black leather which goes around 3 loops with gold hardware. It's about RM1500. I'd recommend YSL, Versace or Chanel bracelets too.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, saw a ysl one which costs around s$350+ but it's just like a thin loop of leather with silver toned hardware..so personally I don't think it is like worth it LOLS..haha but honestly, I really dunno what to buy with the remaining $400+..hahas maybe just get another pair of shades. Hey if u keen on Fendi belt, u might wanna check out this one ( http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446472797 ) haha this is the one I was talking Bout Previously, kinda pretty haha plus it's only like half that of Hermes LOLS>< haha and my neighbor just came back from Milan and she manage to get a Galleria ostrich in 40 haha reminds me of my Madison XD

Anonymous said...

Haha and after looking at this ( http://store.prada.com/en/US/woman/jewels# ) sort of regretted the KDT a little lols :X

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : Oh the belt that I like has a more "modern" FF logo on it. This one's a little "college student" ish.

And raaawwwrrrr Galleria in Ostrich. ><

And wow! Love the leather bracelets with the gold studs!! A cheaper alternative compared to Hermes collier de chien haha.

Anonymous said...

Haha yeah, hey, u know where I can get cheaper leather jackets that looks great? Cos everything on leather jackets costs a bomb. Hahahas hey, u said u have the raybans aviators, do you prefer it over original wayfarers? Haha and why?? Thanks Dylan

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : Leather jackets ... I've ALWAYS loved Bershka. I managed to find those as low as RM259! I'm not sure about other brands though.

My aviators is from GA, not Ray Ban. I can't really say anything about the wayfarers yet as I haven't really seen it and try it out. So yeah, and why what? LOL.

Anonymous said...

Haha okay, orh...why u like the aviators..im currently torn between the rayban aviator and original wayfarers, as u most prob already know by now i have major difficulties on choosing things hahahas. but yeah..whoa nowadays so active? Am i disturbing u from ur life?>< hahahas ps. Dylan

Anonymous said...

haha i went to Bershka and saw this ( http://www.bershka.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/bershkasg/en/40109501/179503/495647/Imitation%2Bleather%2Bstamped%2Bjacket ) hahaha damn pretty right, the collar?? hahahasXD Dylan.

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : I like the aviators cuz it looks classic. It's like, the ultimate classic sunglass that everyone should have.

You want to challenge with me in making decisions??? I took 15 minutes to choose writing pens just now. The disposable RM3 for a pack of pens. That doesn't include the time taken to walk from one part of the mall to another just because the previous shop does not have the colour of a mec. pencil I wanted. LOL.

And I totally forgotten about your comment last time, and I closed my blog's tab. So yeah, I'm this free everyday wan la haha.

And yeah the collar's quite pretty. I have a grey Bershka jacket that has that collar too.

Anonymous said...

hahaha okay, u win^^hmm..im thinking if i should get the raybans aviators or originag wayfarers ad i really cant seem to make a deceision. hahas hey u saw the newspaper talking bout lots of China citizens adore their LV till the point that u can see it everytime u turn a street corner hahahas, really dont get it><

Soon Jeremy said...

Dylan : Hahahaha then that's up to you to decide :P

And LOL not only in China la, in Malaysia it's all over the place too. But there both real and fakes haha. I'm very very very sure Singapore is the same too right? A Singaporean fashion blogger said now almost every mom and daughter has the Chanel Classic Flap haha. So if you wanna stand out the Chanel Boy bag is the one :P

Anonymous said...
