A slew of photos that well, need no words. 

I'd rather be in Cannes, France

 Glancing at the emerging pictures on the web from Cannes, all I want is to be surrounded with the fashion crowd attending Karl Lagerfeld's 2011 cruise collection for Chanel.  Snapping pictures like the cute (and chic) tourist she is, Rachel Bilson gives the rest of us a peak at the stylish shinnigans in the South of France.

Glamorous gowns were everywhere at fashion's version of the Oscars, the Met Gala. I can't pick my favorite--although, Giselle in a red Alexander McQueen is rather perfect.

How does Karl Lagerfeld out-do himself, season after season? I think this is the first time I have ever been so stunned from a collection --let alone his-- that I can call it my all time favorite. It's so timeless, yet adorned with a modern touch, introducing the concept of wearing "a tunic shape over a skinny pant, paired with flats," for instance (Vogue).  There is so much I can go on about, but in all honesty, I would sound reptitive & dull compared to Vogue's flawless coverage of the show, here. Enjoy xo
