About Me

Hi, my name is Kayla. I have a dual B.A. in Communication Studies & English from the University of Michigan, and I currently work for a Broadcast PR Firm in New York City. I blog about anything that interests me and that others may be remotely interested in. I wouldn't characterize myself as an expert at any one thing in particular, but rather as a somewhat well-rounded individual that tries to keep on top of current pop culture trends as much as possible. I also love to shop, read, and watch movies, so you'll see a lot of style alerts as well as film and novel reviews. And if you're wondering what my blog title means, venerating means to hold praise or admiration for something, and dernier cri is French for "the latest fashion."

Ooh, la la, Chanel on Rue La La


Rue La La, an online site featuring select daily designer limited sale items, had Chanel clothing and accessories for available today.

Although I would love to own anything Chanel, there were two things in particular that caught my eye. First was the Chanel Black Platform Sandal with Jade O-Ring for $899. I think they are unique, and I really like that the ring on the shoe is green because it makes more of a bold statement.

The second thing I really liked was the Chanel Vintage Quilted Lambskin Mini Flap Bag for $1,299. The reason I fancied this purse more so than the others is because of the blue color, and as I mentioned in a previous blog, the across-the-body shoulder bag purses are really in style right now.


What I was most surprised about was the fact that almost all of the Chanel items listed were sold out. How can people afford that kind of stuff right now? I'd like to think that someday I will be able to...but I still think I'd feel a little guilty even if I could afford it. Obviously Chanel is one of the top designers in the world--Chanel is well-known for its classy, timeless pieces, and the quality of every fabric is excellent. I still don't know how I feel about paying that much for something that I may only wear a few times though. I suppose if money wasn't an issue I would probably buy a few expensive designer things, but I can't imagine owning a whole wardrobe full of Chanel. Some things are left to be desired; just looking at the Chanel items on Rue La La was good enough for me this time around.
