I love finding original Chanel era pictures of fashions designed by Mademoiselle herself - the dresses from the 30s and tweeds from the comeback years of the 60's to her final collection in 1971 Still look wearable even today.

Chanel Mohair and Tartan Pre-Fall 2013 Get the look for less

The Pre-Fall 2013 collection from Chanel featured classic Scottish plaids, tartans and vintage looking mohair to create an eclectic twist on classic Scottish themes and fabrics. Similar vintage mohair is easily found on eBay so you dont have to spend a fortune to recreate this look on a budget. Search ebay for vintage plaid mohair. I saw authentic Scottish mohair plaids in the vintage clothing section, look for the vintage mohair ponchos, coats and scarves and have fun creating your own version of the Fall trend.
If you are crafts minded look for a vintage tartan mohair scarf and use it to add tartan touches to your accessories, glue tartan mohair to an old handbag or clutch for an up to the minute fall look - see the Chanel mohair flap bag pictured here for inspiration.

Cate Blanchett's character Jasmine is a wealthy lady from NY who moves to San Francisco when she falls on hard times. She is wearing a Chanel Couture jacket similar to one seen on the runway in the Chanel Couture show of spring 2008.

Couture jackets are made to measure for the client so this jacket was probably made especially the movie. Inside the jacket is a navy silk blouse. Accessories are a Chanel faux pearl necklace from the Fall 2005 season and a more recent Chanel Perfect Edge Quilted Flap bag.
This look is easy to recreate using inexpensive classic pieces, Continue reading Indentified: Cate Blanchett’s Chanel Outfit in ‘Blue Jasmine’ Movie 2013 »
