Chanel Valentine’s Day Collection: Fall in Love All Over Again

Gorgeous shimmering metallic gold says, “I love you” just as well as any shade of red. When it’s by Chanel, you know it’s true love! Their Valentine’s Day 2012 collection is purely iconic awash in pure, dreamy shades of metal and blush.

Petite pieces – ideal for gift-giving and receiving – like textural, python-effect taupe pochettes; an iridescent gold quilted clutch that crumples in the fashion of a chic lunch bag; a pearly cosmetic case; floral-stitched key holder; and iPad case are all more practical and neutral than many of Chanel’s recent launches. These are wearable clutches and cases too classic to grow tired and so pale and pretty they will float right into spring. Inquire at Chanel.

Pair with: Amp up your pochette with ornate jewels from the same collection! Pearlized gold, clusters of pearls and the quintessential chain all come together in definitive Chanel fashion: opulence that’s somehow light as air and heavy on joie de vivre.
