Fourth of July is just around the corner, but Chanel is already ahead of the game. Back in the fall, Chanel premeired its Spring 2008 Ready to wear line. Now, it wasn't Chanel's usual elegant basic tweed suits or over-extravagant feathered dresses head designer Karl Lagerfeld Showcased. This time, it was more jeans, more wool, and just a hint of tweed. It was what some call Americana looking.
Most models sported jeans head to toe; while others had outfits made up of stars and stripes. All i can say is that the Americana look never looked this good! Of course, leave it to Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld to spice up the American style!
Therefore, if you want to look good this fourth of july, take some risks, and some tips from the runway of chanel! Here are just a few of my favorites. 
A very suttle, but loud look, you can create a chanel style like this when you pair a navy and white striped or starred tunic/dress with a red sweater. To top it off put a cute red white or navy belt to cinch the waist and wear patent leather flats or heels. 
This is a more complicated look to duplicate, but also an easy one to try. Try a navy blue striped tunic/dress and top it off with a simple red jacket. Accessorize with an array of buttons, jean flats or heels, and some simple pearls to show a bit of elegance.
This is most likely the easiest and chic look to make out of the whole collection. Where a solid navy dress with a patent leather belt. To accessorize, bunch some buttons at the top of the dress, wear patent leather flats/heels,and top it off a nice simple clutch. :)
*remember* red lipstick is always chic! It ups the elegance factor!
*have a great and wonderful fourth of july! Be safe, have fun and dress chic!*
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Dior Does It Again! by: Meganmoiselle
Pure, sheer genius! On June 30th 2008, Head Designer of Dior, John Galliano surprised the fashion world at the dior fall 2008 haute couture show. Galliano shows that simplicity is key and that vintage is still in! He uses the 1950s everyday glamour, high style 1920's fashion and gives it a edgy spin. Also, the sheer detail made me love it the collection even more! When looking at these pictures it took my breath away. Here are just some of my favorites 
I love the lace detailing on the sleeves and on the dress and also how the cinched belt gives her an hourglass shape. Great to wear to ANY dinner party. 
This one reminds me of the roaring 1920's! The fur sleeves and collar give it a chic sophisticated vibe. The sequin detailing makes it more glamourous. Great for wanting to make a statement out on town! 
This just shows the innocence of the 1950s...i love the pastel baby blue and the sheer sleeves and skirt. 
The working-class lady ready to conquer would surely love this piece. It is very simplisitc with a great gathered detail. I also love the hat with the sequined fold. 
Undeniably beautiful darling! My favorite piece out of all them. I love how John Galliano made the sheer sleeves and skirt with the gorgeous lace! I would definitely wear this to any fabulous occasion!
Kudos to head designer John Galliano for reinventing and remembering the Dior brand again!
