Chanel + Sports = <3

I’m no mathematician or anything but I can tell you that Chanel + Sports = THE MOST AMAZING SPORTING ITEMS I HAVE EVER SEEN. I came across the Chanel surfboard on Rachel Zoe’s The Zoe Report today and I immediately fell in love (just like when I fell in love with the Proenza Schouler tie dye surfboard). Who would have thought to make these types of items items so stylish? Chanel’s Sports 2010 line includes surfboards, skis, snowboards, a scooter, a bike, dumbells, golf clubs, a basketball, a football, and even a boat…yes a boat.

Here are some of my favorite items from the collection:

If this isn’t the most chic form of transportation, I don’t know what is.

I just can’t believe there is a Chanel boat. Ridiculous…yet awesome.

I’ve seen Chanel skis before but these are by far the coolest ones. They even have the signature Chanel quilting! Love it.

Let’s just say working out is not my favorite thing to do, but I would enjoy it much more if I got to use these Chanel dumbells.

Currently Obsessing Over: Philippe Audibert Glove

Photo Credit

This isn’t just any glove…it’s the Philippe Audibert Mitaine Swarovski crystal silver glove. I don’t think an accessory could get anymore amazing than this. Philippe Audibert is known for creating jewelry with twisted metals and Swarovski crystals. I discovered Philippe Audibert jewelry when shopping at Scoop NYC when I was in Vegas this past December. It was love at first sight when I saw this silver and turquoise masterpiece so I knew right away…it must be a part of my jewelry collection. After browsing “what’s new” on Net-a-Porter (as I do just about everyday) I came across the Philippe Audibert Mitaine Swarovski crystal silver glove and I knew I had to share this current obsession.

Proenza Schouler Resort 2011

Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough have done it again…I am absolutely obsessed with the Proenza Schouler Resort 2011 collection. I wasn’t in love with many resort collections for ’11. I liked a few pieces here and there but there weren’t many collections that I longed for…until I came across this one.

According to style.com, “it was inspired by a vacation the duo [Hernandez and McCollough] took to India—felt utterly urban and, yes, completely in tune with the way cool girls are dressing so far this summer.” They said it best…it’s what the cool girls are wearing 🙂

Here are some of my favorite pieces from the collection:

I think what made this collection look so amazing is the way each look was styled. Obviously each piece on its own is amazing, but it’s the overall look that really drew me to this collection. I’m also a complete sucker for metallics…which is a common theme throughout this collection.
