CHANEL’s L’ete Papillion collection is inspired by the “The dazzling colours of butterflies inspire a joyful look for face and fingertips with the enchanting Summer collection. Lashes flutter in electric shades of mascara and eyelids are adorned with gleaming colours. Nails and lips complete the effect with shades of sunlit brilliance.”

The Duchess’s Wardrobe: A Review
Hello and welcome to the Duchess’s Wardrobe: A Review. In this post, you will find the links to my various reviews on the items in the Duchess of Cambridge’s Wardrobe.
Since covering the Duchess of Cambridge’s fashion style in the past 2 years, I too have accumulated some of the items she has in her wardrobe. However, while I discovered there were a lot of posts documenting what she wore, there were very few reviews on the actual items themselves. In particular, there was a lack of reviews on whether the items would fit a gal who’s not tall and skinny like the Duchess. Hence the idea of a review on the Duchess’s wardrobe was born…
Needless to say, I do not have the financial capabilities to purchase Alexander McQueen or order bespoke and not everything the Duchess has worn is available in my size …so the reviews on the Duchess’s wardrobe will be selective.
I sincerely hope these reviews will be of help!

An Elusive Dream: That Black Glossy Chic and Classy Compact
YEARS ago, as a kid, I watched with fascination as a pretty girl whipped out a glossy black compact and proceed to touch up her makeup in a crowded train…intrigued I peered a little closer and saw a separate compartment for a sponge placed next to a rectangular shaped powder which had the letters ‘ZA’ embossed on them. When she closed her compact, with a discernible click, inter-linked white ‘C’s greeted me. At that moment, I decided… someday when I grew up, I was going to own one of those glossy, chic and classy black compacts…
