Chanel Spring 2012

"Glamour....
the quality of fascinating, alluring, or attracting, especially by a combination of charm and good looks"
....that's the dictionary definition and I guess we all have our personal view of what is glamorous.
When I think of glamorous women, it's Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor that come immediately to mind...I can't think of anyone under the age of 30!
Glamour has something "old school" about it.
I did though go to school with a girl who was always glamorous....
she had that aura about her even at 16 - and of course stood out since none of the rest of us had managed to find any glamour whatsoever in our school uniforms!
Funnily enough, she became "famous" and is still totally glamorous....
Some people just have it....
whether it's a way of dressing, conducting themselves or living their lives....
a state of mind....
a bit like sex appeal, it's that almost indefinable thing.
Be it red lipstick, Chanel sunglasses (or Chanel anything really), Louboutins, diamonds or just that certain je ne sais quoi....
Isn't a little glamour so much fun though?!
Thank you for all the lovely comments this week, have a wonderful weekend!!

Thanks for all those lovely eye-candies...
I'm feeling glamorous already,
those glam images kinda rubbed off on me, and I love it ♥
Love Grace Kelly...
she is super glam and
her granddaughter Charlotte exhibits the same glamorous personality too.
You are so right in what you say about iconic beauty
J'adore 2012 Chanel, in particular those evening gowns...aaahhhhh!
Thank you for this uplifting post

When I see pictures of Grace Kelly and Catherine Deneuve I find myself gazing at them for a long time - I'm mesmerised by their perfect beauty. And yet people who are fortunate to be born with these qualities are condemned forever to spend a lot of time keeping their looks, and surely some must prefer to use their days in other ways... Your favourite Sofia Loren however has that warm, vibrant quality that shows she lives and loves too.
Good thoughts for a Friday, thanks Simone.

Chanel seems to portray glamorous so well. Thanks for the visual treat.
What glamorous post... i think we all have that ability to be glamorous just some of us are afraid to show it...Cate
Such fabulous and glamorous images...it is an indefinable thing but when you see it...it's so alluring...
Have a wonderful weekend.
