~Saks Fifth Avenue Unedited!!~The Salons

The Chanel Files:
I was so graciously invited to a preview party at Saks Fifth Avenue last week; so this Monday, Wednesday & Friday will be dedicated to the Salons of Saks Atlanta!
First stop, the ever exquisite Chanel Salon.
The ascension into style heaven is just an elevator or an escalator ride away!
Enjoy!

When I think about fashion, I always have sustainable style in mind. I may show you a $1,700 Gucci bag, but in reality, even if I had the cash to buy, I wouldn't. You know why? I could probably find something similar at a resale or thrift store for much less & love a lot more!
So I still get the quality of a luxury item, but I saved money & up-cycled!
See below!
My gorgeous Pringle of Scotland $698 Silk Blouse!
It still had the tags, and I purchased it for $9.97!
Necklace was a thrift store find too! $30.00!
Moschino Cherry Red Pumps!
$3.50! These are $900 shoes!
So cute!
My true love is vintage, I have a collection of handbags & jewelry that date back as far as the mid-1800s! Not only do I get a piece with rich history, it's made beautifully & items were limited then, not mass produced.
Check out some of my favorite pieces above!
All Christian Dior, except for the Chanel 'double c' pin!
For the stylish Bridge player!
All vintage finds!
Everything above was thrifted!
P.S. I haven't purchased one new fashion item in almost a year! :)

Sometimes to see forward you must look back!
Fashion for instance is a prime example of living in the past.
Some of the world's most renowned fashion designers have based their collections on vintage pieces of days gone by!
Here are a few pieces that my Mom & Gramma have passed down to me!
I know, lucky girl, right?!
Vintage knitted sweater,
Tabitha for Anthropologie 'Grandpa' jacket,
Vintage Givenchy pearls & chains!
Gorgeous Vintage Crystal Necklace,
1950's Jewelry Box
Sheer Floral Dress from BCBG
Where I keep my most cherished brooches from my Mom & Gramma!
{Chanel, Christian Dior, Ferragamo, Coro}
Vintage London Fog Hat!
My Mother's sandals from the 1950's,
she wore these to her Senior Prom!
Real stones & gold threading!
I cherish!
