Harper Collins kindly sent me over Justine Picardie’s new hard cover book, ‘Coco Chanel’ and I have to say I can.not.put.it.down.
It’s not much fun that I’d get to read it all by myself, so they sent me two copies- one for one of you out there!
To be in the running all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. That’s it!
Competition closes Thursday October 21st at 5pm AEST.

Coco Chanel. Style, elegance and grace.
After conquering my tower of law textbooks this semester, reading something about Coco Chanel will definitely be a treat! I also love Genna’s ability to capture details.
love u lady melbourne!
thanks for the giveaway! (:

Love your blog and would love this book! 🙂
I never win these things but there’s always a first time hey!?
I would love to have that book! Coco Chanel is a true fashion icon 🙂
Hi Lady M. I would love to have the book. Coco Chanel is such an icon and I do hope I could get my hands on it!
Thank you!
Count me in please 🙂 xx
Does the book cover any of Chanel’s Nazi collaborations, or how she used pro-Aryan laws to wrestle control of her famous perfume manufacturing from a Jewish family, or how she was funding Walter Kutschmann, who was later convicted of the murder of thousands of Polish Jews? I’m constantly appalled that this woman is lauded as some sort of hero. She was neither legend nor hero: she was a war criminal.
Wouldn’t win if I didn’t try, would I? 🙂 And this is one competition I can join even if I live in Norway! Love your blog, it inspires me every day!
ooo! Would love a copy of that book!
Seems like an awesome read! I hope I win it. 😛
Beautiful illustration of you, I’ve been wanting to get a copy of this book for a while now xoxo

Absolutely stunning, and looks interesting too. Pick me!

As much as I am captivated by the amazing life of an amazing women such as Coco, I am even more delighted that one of my favourite writers Justine Picardie has written Coco’s remarkable tale. Loved reading Justine’s work at Vogue and am thrilled she has written a novel about another incredible woman.
Lovely illustration also, so elegant just like Coco herself.
