Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 Pt 6: Chanel & Yves Saint Laurent

  1. I didn't like the Chanel shoes. But I loved that rolled up clutch purse. Loved YSL, though.

  2. Before I finish reading the paragraph, I caught a view of the shoes and thought 'YUCK'. So yeah. They are bulky and just look wrong for the finishing.

    That said, I am loving the colour that Chanel is using! gorgeous!
