Bound for the Beach...

The master of cool himself, Karl Lagerfeld has struck again. This past week he debuted his Chanel 2011 resort collection in Saint Tropez and the event was spectacular. Just looking through the pictures on style.com does not do this collection justice. Besides the clothes (which are georgous of course) it's really the atmosphere which makes the show so great. Click here to see a short video, and you'll understand what I'm talking about. The models arrived on yachts and casually walked down the "runway" (which was really just a road) barefooted, either holding their sandals or tossing their beachy-looking hair.

I love these short shorts and the jacket is adorable. The show was right next to the water, as you can see the yachts in the background.

  

These are my two favorite looks from the collection. I think I'm having a floppy beach hat moment- I love them!

I thought Diane Kruger was easily the best dressed viewer at this event; I love her sense of style in general, and I recently found out she doesn't have a stylist. She dresses herself and does her own hair and makeup. Impressive, right?

I absolutely love this picture of Diane, who is dressed wonderfully yet again. This picture was taken at a Chanel event in Saint-Tropez the same week. Notice the hat?  And how cute is the ribbon in her hair?

Karl Lagerfeld never lets his audience down. In fact for the finale of the show, models Georgina May jagger and Sébastien Jondeau cruised down the runway on a motorcycle. Definitely check out the video for the full effect!
