Oh Coco

I only just watched the film Coco Before Chanel and really enjoyed it, Audrey Tautou did a fabulous job. Chanel's life is poignant and inspiring, and the movie moved me so much that I am now reading her biography for the second time its called Coco Chanel A Biography by Axel Madsen. I am only on chapter eight but I am already learning a lot about her life, she has been through and achieved so much that it is difficult to imagine that she really existed and all I am reading is nonfiction.  Book and film both recommended and below some stills from the film. 

By the way the film's main set is a fortified castle the interiors of which remind me a little of the set I was on this Sunday assisting with props on a short film. Needless to say I was working on an amazing location and will be sharing pictures with you very soon, I promise.
