Thank god! AP testing is finally over and now all the stress is released from my life. I'm serious. You have no idea how good it felt to walk out of that room after four hours of testing. Good feeling.
Kind of like the feeling I got after viewing the Chanel Resort 2011 collection (online, anyways. Unfortunately, I'm not on the Chanel guest list- yet). I must say that resort is by far my favorite season, just because it is so carefree and obviously a little more warm-weather oriented (I mean, I loved Chanel's fall collection too, but giant fur boots just won't work down in SoCal, even during the winter). My favorite looks and why I love them:
- The colors of this dress are so neat. I mean, it's rainbow, but not like, ugly flashy rainbow. It's not as in your face, you know? And I love the image that this look conjures, of a beautiful woman on the beach that has to turn away from her beau proposing to her on the beach at sundown because she's having an affair...or something like that. I have a big imagination.
- I'm not sure quite why I like this so much, I just like the way it looks. Light wash jeans are definitely on my summer must-haves list.
- That. Hat. Is. Fabulous. I'm a big believer in ginormous floppy hats that are so big they cover your eyes. Plus, the dress is cute too. The texture of the sleeves is quite interesting.
- I just think the bathing suit is ultra cute and fun, especially with the necklace and the foot...I don't even know what to call them. But they are cool.
- I would totally wear this. It would be cute as a party dress or to a business event (perhaps with tights or pants underneath, though) or even through a jean jacket over it and just chill. And it's pink. Always a plus.
- This is like, the cooler, edgier (but still cute and sleek) version of the previous swimsuit. And that shirt. May not "cover up" much, but I want it anyways.
- The silhouette of this dress is so unique. That skirt especially is tres chic. And I like the whole "beach safari" feel to it.
- Another cool silhouette, another fabulous dress.
- Classic Chanel, but with a twist. The eyelet trimming is gorgeous, and I love the color. So sleek and just totally summer
- This could be an evening gown, or it could just be the coolest cover up ever. That's what I love about this collection. Everything is so versatile and so laid-back.
- Another evening/cover up. And I like how this look goes back to previous collections, kind of pulls it all together. Plus, the patterns on this dress are very neat.
- Once again, it seems like something you could wear to the office or whatever, but then that lace overlay in the middle is the total opposite.
So I hope it's safe to say that I LOVED this collection. What a great way to kick off resort season!
