In this Post – Chanel Resort 2018 – The Modernity of Antiquity 

This post may contain affiliate links.

Like all of Chanel’s runways, you are transported to another time.

This time… Ancient Greece! You could easily be sitting at the Temple of Athena!

 The most noticeable accessory this time are the tie up shoes- echoing the shoes of the late gladiators.

I confess, I wish all of these girls were allowed to smile – but I suppose that would detract from the clothes – we are here to look at the fashion not the faces!

 I really liked their hairdos! How pretty and romantic!

“The criteria of beauty in Ancient then Classical Greece still holds true. There have never been more beautiful representations of women. Or more beautiful columns. The entire Renaissance, in fact, was based on antiquity.” – Karl Lagerfeld

Don’t you love fresh flowers?

 

I love ranunculus and, well, flowers in general and love to have a least one bouquet of fresh flowers in the house every week.

I was inspired to create this vignette from a recent antique find – a plate that is claimed to be Sevres but that I am not too sure of! Either way, I like it!

I love the little statue on the left.

I gathered a few pink accessories to round out the vignette.

You can create a successful vignette in your home too with a simple color scheme.

Love the pink boxes – some are from Paris and the round one is from Target!

I love pink and white, don’t you?

I love the look of cerused oak, don’t you?

What is Cerused Oak?

It is a special technique of applying essentially a lime-wash onto quarter swan oak cabinets.  It is an old French technique – which is why I think I like it!

Here is a close-up for cerused oak.

As you can imagine, cerused oak is very expensive. First you have quarter sawn oak (expensive) + then lime wash it (expensive) = $$$
