On May 7th, I had the honor of attending a private party at the Chanel Boutique to view the Paris-Dallas 2013/2014 collection.  When I saw highlights from the actual show in Dallas (back in the fall), I could only dream of being invited to that show. But when I got invited to view the collection in Chicago, I was equally ecstatic!

I met some very interested people at this cocktail party, including the North American Assistant Buyer for Chanel’s ready to wear collection, Alex. I was drawn to her shoes and we hit it right off with a great conversation. I didn’t buy anything at this event but I do have my mind set on a pearl necklace!

I have to send a big shout out to a fellow daycare mom, Gretchen. She babysit Luke while I was at the party because my husband, Charlie, was out of town for work that day. I am so grateful to have met some wonderful moms I have met through my early years of motherhood. They are so supportive and ready to help. I hope to one day return the favor.
