Her Style {Chanel}

There are so many things to love about Chanel-- where do I even begin?  I think we can all start by being just a little bit jealous of the incredibly chic name she bears. However, she definitely has the style and know-how to back up the fancy moniker.  She is the assistant editor of CamilleStyles.com and currently reigns from a city near and dear to my heart, Austin, of course.  You can see her style in action in posts like this one and this one.  Since she oozes with such one-of-a-kind unique personal style, she was a perfect fit for our next Her Style profile.  I am dying for her outfit, too.  She went straight to my weakness for a good peter pan collar with this one...

How would you describe your personal style? 

Vintage-meets-modern-meets-me. I tend to shy away from what "everyone's wearing" and like to create outfits that are inspired & original. Prefer separates over dresses. Not big on jewelry.

What are your favorite places to shop?

Zara and Forever 21 for anything trendy that's not worth shelling out the big bucks, Feathers for rad vintage, and Moss for designer pieces I couldn't otherwise afford. 

What sort of pieces are you most into lately?

Doesn't everyone go a little bit ga-ga over boots and coats in the fall? Though it's a bit wasted in Texas, I am the biggest coat junkie. I'm currently loving anything oversized and with a hood, like the one I'm wearing here. Throw a stunner coat over any outfit and you're golden. Now if only the temps would drop below the 70's...

Do you find that your work influences your style or vice versa?

Because style is so valued at my job, I find that the two are constantly influencing one another. It sounds silly, but each night as I try to fall asleep I mentally go through my wardrobe and try to think up a new combination that I haven't tried yet to wear to work the next day. Of course, if I wake up feeling sluggish in the morning I often forgo my thought-up masterpiece and opt for jeans, a v-neck and Chucks instead... and the fact that I can wear that to work is an employee privilege in itself!

Beyond adorable, right?  Thank you so much, Chanel, for sharing this with us!
