Chanel and the British

Chanel definitely has a thing for British Women, when it comes to choosing the face of their lines . In the past, popular British celebs such as Kate Moss, Keira Knightley and Emma Watson, have lent their name and face to Chanel, and now the prestigious fashion house have chosen Lily Allen as the next face for the Chanel handbag line Chanel Coco Cocoon, which will launch in October 2009 .

Hair Trend : curly or straight ?

Well, according to www.style.com the curls are making a comeback this summer. Question : haven't curls been around for a couple of years now ? It was very in style on the runway last year, Believe me, I have nothing against curls, in fact I love them, but after watching celebs toting the curl trend on the red carpet for a couple of years now, I would like to see the sleek and straight look return !

Of course, celebrity trends completely differ from the runway trend, and while curls, waves etc. may be in season on the runway, I still think we've seen enough of it for now.

Personally, I find the long, straigth & sleek with a modest fringe look very appealing, especially during the summer, where you want that light-weight feel . Also, I think it's time we see more of the chignon - a chic and classic style .

Please comment on your thoughts .
