As you may or may not know, Coco Chanel is one of my style idols. The title of this blog actually comes from an adaptation of one of her quotes: “True elegance consists not in having a closet bursting with clothes, but rather in having a few well-chosen numbers in which one feels totally at ease… Simplicity is the key-note of all true elegance”. Chanel’s signature black and white style which was both chic and practical is something I greatly admire. In honor of her, I decided to put together a list of Coco inspired items found on Etsy.


Coco Ivory and Black Feather Hair Clip


All gorgeous, but that feather hair clip is to die for!
For someone who designed the best women’s clothes, she prefered to wear mens
Love that feather, wish I could do proms all over again
