Couture Monday: Chanel hits Brompton Road (and so did I)

Whew!  I'm back from London (I will recap my trip for this weekend's Curator's Corner) and managed to pick up this little beauty while I was there.  In honor of the launch of Chanel World at Harrod's department store, Chanel created this exclusive palette.

While I don't think it's as inspired as some of their other recent pieces – we've seen the Chanel logo on palettes numerous times and the tweed effect is the same pattern as the Ombres Tissees – I still like that there was something exclusive made for the Harrod's launch.  And it's pink and sparkly, so what's not to like?

That said, I didn't even check out Chanel World.  I basically picked up the palette and made my way to the confectionary to check out some chocolates I had read about at one of my favorite blogs, Domestic Sluttery – the ladies there had a very informative post about the best chocolatiers in London, so naturally I had to get to as many as possible.  Fortunately some of the stores had stands in Harrod's.  I am a makeup addict but also a chocoholic!

Here's Charbonnel & Walker:

So that's a little taste of my trip.  🙂
