After some resistance, in an attempt to keep its luxury product exclusive, Chanel is opening up shop online and launching e-commerce by late 2016. The fashion house is currently working with online luxury retailer Net-A-Porter to sell the 'Coco Crush' fine jewelry capsule collection. Consider it an e-commerce test of sorts.

Superstylin* Sartorial Spin: Absolutely Fabulous
Oh happy day! The long-awaited return of Absolutely Fabulous is almost here. On Sunday January 8th, the first of the AbFab 20th Anniversary Specials premieres on BBC America.The debaucherous duo of Patsy and Edina are back on the scene and the screen. High fashion HIGHlarity is sure to ensue.
The previous seasons of the series provide an archive of clothing dating back to 1992. Edina paraded around in the likes of Moschino, Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Christian Lacroix. Patsy always fancied a good Chanel power suit. Fast forward twenty years... Many collections have come down the runways since we last saw Pats and Eddy. Today's Superstylin* Sartorial Spin places the Bolli and Stoli ladies in current collections by their favorite designers while trying some new ones on for size.
Edina embraces every fashion fad with fervor. Layers, volume, bold colors and notice-me prints are part of her signature eclectic style. As much as Ms. Moonsoon tried to make fitness her own personal health trend, it never really caught on but she always dressed the part in sporty streetwear. Patsy has a penchant for longer sleeker silhouettes and a more neutral color palette. Ms. Stone is often seen vamping it up in body conscious dresses as well.
The icing on the cake sweetie darlings: a New Year's Day marathon of every single AbFab episode for your viewing pleasure whether you are still ringing in 2012 or wrecked and recovering. Having watched every episode countless times since the 90s, I will definitely be swilling bubbly in honor. *More champagne for Lulu!*
