There is always a desire  to be married to the relevance of the time . For me it is the difference between a life lived engaged or spent asleep. But it’s not a life without  dreams. It’s when we allow ourselves to dream that we create a better reality for ourselves- a better career, a better home, even better memories because we tried a little harder in the manner we entertained our friends or because we took the cheap red- eye to visit family.

That’s really it trying a little harder. Or a lot. I’m not going to kid you  or deceive you. There is something magical about glamour, but it doesn’t just happen with a snap of the fingers or a nod of the head. You can’t sleep in late every day and expect the good life to happen. In anything you pursue, you have to be willing to give more than 9-5. You have to make sacrifices sometimes to chase your dream as hard as you want it. Passion will bring you success, but it can never , ever be driven by how  sexy the job or lifestyle is, or by the promise of designer clothes and a flashy car. Those things can be amazing consequences, but if they are your only reason for pursuing something, you’ll likely fail- whether it’s in the job, or , even worse, by failing to truly realize your bona fide dreams.

This ensemble is what Chanel dreams are made of . Chanel women bleed black and white and know that glamour can come in the form of a suggestion, a hint in a pair of  black Chanel sunglasses  or it can appear in all its unapologetic glory blinding bright from this complete runway look.
