Petite sleeveless tie-neck top (rayon/spandex) Jackets: I’ve found a few blazers in P00 that have worked me, and each one has had the word “stretch” on the label. Go figure, since the stretchy fabric garments are cut smaller right? Look for things that say “stretch”, and there’s a chance it’ll fit.

Even the Loubies can be tied to Coco. Did you know Christian Louboutin freelanced for Chanel before he was a famous shoe designer? In fact, the Louboutin red soles were inspired by Chanel red nail polish. In 1992, I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This…
