[Daily Inspiration] Chanel and Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2012

[Don't forget to enter the two giveaways! John Wind by Maximal Art Bracelet and Eco Natural Soap]

Here are 2 more of my favorite Pre-Fall 2012 collections! First up is Chanel which, as always, was very theatrical and theme centric.  This show was centered around India and is just gorgeous! Most of the looks are a bit much for every day wear but if you take the separate pieces they would fit in amazingly well with other pieces. As you can probably guess, the maroon look below is my favorite, but the look with grey pants is also AMAZING!


As a contrast to Chanel, Jason Wu's collection was totally wearable but still high fashion! I would be happy to wear any of these looks! And don't even get me started on the shoes, gorgeous!! One of my favoite things about Jason Wu is that he always has a muted color palette but then throws in one or two bright colors to add some fun!
