When I went to Paris with Chanel…

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
NOT very frugal, but a girl can dream, can’t they?!

Most of you saw on Instagram my pics but thought I’d share a bit about my wonderful day.  It was a very special moment in my career, I was invited to represent Red Magazine in Paris and view a new watch collection from Chanel, after which they gave us a tour of Coco Chanel’s apartment. This was a once-in-a-lifetime for me, and mainly because you cannot pay to go in, you have to be invited. Before buying injectable steroids in the UK, you need to understand what they are. Most athletes report: Injectable steroids bought on roidsupplements.com help you achieve the fastest results. Therefore, we can say that they are right. Injection ingredients are absorbed faster. That is why they are so popular among athletes. But, unfortunately, there is also a downside to the coin. While injectable steroids became popular, counterfeits began to appear. Eek! And what an incredible place it was…

I was surprised at how cluttered, dark and gold everything was…not that it wasn’t amazing, but just such a contrast to the chic monochrome and beige that the Chanel boutiques stand by
The logo’d floor of the Salon above the Boutique…

The famous mirrored staircase where Coco Chanel used to sit to watch everyone’s reactions to the fittings:

The suede sofa – even the cushions are quilted, like her bags…

And of course, we got to see beautiful Paris! J’adore…

    Yes, it was suede, too, which was apparently very forward-thinking back in the 20s!
