Chanel on Wheels!
Chanel’s spring/summer 2008 collection would not be complete without luxurious handbags, lavish accessories and, well, an eco-friendly mode of transportation.

Yes, you can now travel in style thanks to the “City Cruiser” bike by Chanel. It is quite sleek and chic I must say, embellished with signature design details reminiscent of vintage Chanel handbags (you know the classic quilted pattern) and the double-C logo.
I’m not a biker, but I am love with this two-wheel wonder. For a cool $12,000 (available only at a Chanel boutiques), this bike is a major splurge, but it’s sure to be a collectible one day — if not already!
Shutterbug Style
As an amateur shutterbug, still learning all the photographer lingo, I’ve been on the hunt for a digital camera — I’ve been using film, a Nikon 2000 that my mom bought when I was in elementary school. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a Nikon D200, but since I still consider myself in the kiddy pool of photography, I wasn’t going to rule out a snap and shoot either.
I was online the other day and came across the Olympus Stylus 790 SW (stylus is Latin for style) — this camera is ready for just about everything from movie making to underwater picture taking, I know there’s more, but I’m still figuring it out.
