I know I'd look ridicolous but that's my b-day... And I'd be Coco Chanel just for one night, so :D
and just I have to find a white flower to put on the coat or whatever... :D
And... I just can't believe it... But they're just 31 days until my b-day! And I don't want my b-day to come for gifts, but for my new mise! :D
You know, stylists always think forward... When it's summer they think about the next winter, when it's winter they think about next summer... We're crazy people! ;o))

Oh by the way my b-day is the november 26th...
The november 25th is the release date of 808's and Heartbreak!

I'm so excited... And when in U.S.A. will be 25th there will be 26th... :D :D :D lol

I don't need any other birthday gift!
(I'm kidding of course... But that's a big gift anyway, right? (o: )

Coco Chanel

Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (August 19th 1883 - January 10th 1971) was a pioneering french fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her the most important figure in the history of 20th-century fashion.

"As long as you know men are like children, you know everything."

"A style does not go out as long it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs."

The classic 2.55

"Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions."

"I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornatess but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it."

Shirley MacLaine in "Coco Chanel"
"I don't understand how a women can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out politness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
