YES! new collection! FABULOUS new things from TOP SHOP. I love their stuff for a quick fashion injection. BTW in London its cool to look like you buy a few retro/vintage items for the wardrobe...no one wants to look expensive top to toe...so aging. A lot of high street designers bring out CHANEL INSPIRED jackets and (obviously) not as good quality as the real thing, but great fit and inexpensive fun. I ve got several actual CHANEL jackets and the quality is amazing, but some of the TOP shop ones actually look better on me. Sort of more youthful, fresh and care free...

Did you all see this amazing editorial? I think it was in Vogue. It was titled "1 Chanel jacket, 7 ways".

LadySarah, I own the black jacket that you have shown several times in this thread, but I don't currently have a pic of me wearing it. http://forum.purseblog.com/attachmen...6&d=1288104702

Oh my gosh, gracekelly! Being new to tPF, I just spotted this post of yours from 2 years ago. So delightful to see your amazing vintage navy and white/cream Cruise Collection jacket. The very same item was my first Chanel RTW jacket (purchased at a consignment shop). I've never seen it anywhere else before! Hope you still enjoy it, such a timeless piece.

Below: vintage Chanel Boutique Cruise Collection jacket (navy & white/cream), perfect weight & look for cool spring nights. Worn with navy tank from H&M, white shorts from J.Crew, red Valentino sandals, black patent Kate Spade 'Darcy' bag and Hermes "Smiles In The Third Millenary" scarf.





P.S. you have *the* best username.

One of my consignment haunts has a Chanel jacket in right now. It's more of a coat look than the lighter jacket/blazer style. Not my size (I think it was a 42) but it was a steal at $500. It's solid black. PM me for details if you want the store info

...actually MANGO has some rather nice chanel - esque pieces - without the need to go into your overdraft... still there is nothing like the real thing. Here is darling FIONA with hers.

I am just as excited to see your jacket! Mine is black and cream so it is really interesting to see that they did one in navy! You look great! This is one of my most favorite pieces. I have Smiles in the Third Millenary as well with the white ground. Brains seem to functioning on the same wave length

Just pcked this up at Saks on sale. Wasn't really looking for anything in particular and that is exactly when you find things. This image is from an eBay auction (now closed) of the same jacket.

not a fan of leather pants, but the jacket looks lovely!
