Reverie

Lately I have been obsessing, no - culling over in my mind the 1930's. I usually do this to get to sleep after being at work all night to help me drift off into a slumber.
At the risk of sounding nutty I make up 'daydreams' that I am transported back into the 1930's and I am shopping at Chanel (but my 2011 money has miraculously converted to 1937 value money - so I have lots of it.) I am at 31 Rue Cambon, Paris and am friggin gorgeous and I can walk into Chanel without feeling intimidated. That's where I usually conk out and never get any further.
I thought I'd just share that.
Anyway here is a magazine from 1937 that is one of my oldest and I like very much.It comes with patterns like the cover and knitting and crochet.

This is very Chanel inspired isn't it. If anyone can read the instructions here is free pattern for you. Bonus.

Obsessing over Speaking again of Chanel I watched the movie Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky the other night. The costumes were utterly gorgeous and so were the interiors. The movie was so French. So sexy. Anna Mouglalis was piss elegant. I am her in my daydream by the way. Te he or should I say ah bon?
