Chanel Vibrato is a beautiful new blue hue from Chanel’s late fall 2015 beauty collection; Blue Rythm de Chanel. This fabulous collection features two blue nail polishes, a blue eye quad, blue mascara, and complementing products which aid in creating a smokey eye look. Love that!
Since blue is my favorite color, I was thrilled to find out this collection would arrive in late fall. The two nail polish hues are a-ma-zing! Chanel Vibrato nail polish is a bright, blue hue which is roughly two shades darker than cobalt. It is a fabulous way to brighten up a dark, fall ensemble.
I tested out Chanel Vibrato nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. Chanel Vibrato is a cream nail polish. It applied evenly and streak free. Perfection.
Chanel Vibrato nail polish lasted a full eight days before I needed to remove it due to nail growth. I would also like to credit this fabulous top coat for making the nail polish long lasting, shiny, and perfect.
The bright blue hue on Chanel Vibrato is a great way to add a little color to your fall wardrobe. Fall 2015 has a lot of dark hues, and traditional autumn hues.
Fall’s mix of browns, blacks, dark green, and dark reds, can fade into the background. With Chanel Vibrato nail polish, an outfit is given a little pop of color which makes the whole ensemble complete and beautiful.
I cannot wait to wear Chanel Vibrato nail polish now, and into fall. It is a beautiful blue color, and easy to wear on a daily basis. Love that!
The Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection for fall 2015 is limited edition and only available online here, and here.
Stat tuned! I will be reviewing Chanel Fortissimo nail polish from the Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection for late fall 2015 next week!
I absolutely adore the patchwork denim trend for fall. When I spotted these skinnies by Current Elliott, I knew they were the perfect patchwork jeans for me.
These patchwork jeans by Current Elliott fit like a glove. They are, comfortable, and a great alternative to regular blue jeans. Love that!
Since they have such a cool, patchwork design, and I wanted my new red, Mansur Gavriel to stand out, I decided to keep the outfit simple with a classic white shirt. I feel like this outfit is classic and crisp; with a twist. The patchwork, of course, are that twist!
These jeans will be great when the weather cools off for fall; and I can wear them more! Right now, I can only wear them until the fog burns off, then it’s back to short. Ugh, boring shorts.
The patchwork trend for fall is so much fun! I would love to add a dress, and a sweater, to my wardrobe for fall with a patchy look. Of course, I would only wear one patchwork item at a time 😉
Are you planning on indulging in the patchwork trend this upcoming fall season? If so, how do you plan to wear it?

Is your closet overfilling? Do you have expensive handbags collecting dust? Did you buy one too many classic black shoulder bags by Chanel? Don’t worry, there is an easy solution to for turning investments handbags into cash.
You can sell pretty much any designer handbag you would like to turn into cash. Most designer handbags will sell for less than you originally paid for them, but for a coveted few, investment bags, you can actually make money when you sell.
Depending on whether or not a handbag offers a classic style, or trendy style, will dictate how much you can sell the handbag for on the secondary market. I will not give you numbers, because how much a handbag is worth can change on a daily basis; much like the stock market.
If you do not care how much you sell your handbag for, then just go ahead and sell it now; according to my tips further down in this article. If you would like to sell your handbag, or handbags, for top dollar, it takes a little planning.
First off: is your handbag an investment handbag or a designer handbag? If your handbag is an investment handbag, such as an Hermes Birkin or Chanel 2.55, and it is in good condition, then chances are you can sell your handbag for more than you paid for it, any time of the year. If your handbag is designer, not investment, then you need to pay attention to the current trends.
Is your designer handbag burgundy suede; or other seasonal hue and fabrication? Then your handbag will scream the season it hails from. It should be sold during the appropriate selling season. When you start to see the season that it is, hit the stores, it is time to sell your handbag. Pay attention to the seasons when selling seasonal handbag.
Is your designer handbag classic black, white, beige, or red? Then you can sell at any time of the year. Be cautious with navy; dark navy sells better in the fall and winter seasons, while light navy sells well in spring and summer.
How do you price your handbag? This is the question of the year. Look at resale websites such as Vestaire Collection and The Real Real. You can see what your handbag is currently selling for, and if it is worth it to sell. This will give you an idea of how much your handbag is worth in the secondary market.
What condition is your handbag in? This is very important when pricing your handbag, and realizing whether or not it has resale value. Look at your bag. Would you buy it if it was sitting on a store shelf?Does it have visible damage? Visible repairs? Has the color faded? Are the corners worn? Are there scratches? These will all affect the value of your bag, and whether or not you can resell it.
Where do you sell your handbag? There are several ways to sell a designer or investment handbag. Consignment shops, online consignment shops, brick and mortar auction houses, online auction houses, and peer-to-peer apps.
You can go the traditional route and walk into your local consignment store, get a quote, sign a contract, and leave the bag to be sold; but this will not yield the highest payback for your handbag.
If you like the consignment idea, but would prefer to reach a larger audience than your hometown, there are online consignment shops which have a national or global reach. Look at online consignment shops such as The Real Real, Vestaire Collective, and Fashionphile.
Not interested in splitting the profits with a consignment shop? You can take a risk and sell your handbag on an online auction site. I say risk because there are so many inauthentic bags on online auction sites, your handbag could be mistaken for one by uninformed shoppers. The other thing to watch out for are the buyers. There are scam buyers who will buy your bag, receive it, claim it isn’t real, demand a refund from PayPal, and leave you both bagless and penniless. So if you sell online with an auction house, make sure the buyer is trustworthy. Be wary of new buyers without a buying record or feedback.
You can also sell your handbag yourself through peer-to-peer apps such as Poshmark. You pay a small fee, and keep most of the profit for yourself. They are safer than online auction houses, and have a quick turnaround time.
