Even though New York has brought on its first round of daily chills to get us more adjusted to the new weather, it still doesn't quite feel like fall just yet. If you aren’t ready for fall either ,  here's some spring inspired fashion to help you forget that summer is over. CoCo Chanel stepped out of their prim and proper comfort zone to reveal a few pieces from the Spring 2012 Collection on October 4^th during Paris Fashion Week.

The classic brand which has received acclaim for its seemingly flawless execution of understated elegance, featured a series of languidly cut and draped mini jackets, cocktails that billowed out below the waist and dimpled at the knee skirts all looked smart and spruce. Karl Lagerfeld, current creative director for Chanel anchored all of his models in space age silver sandals that were quirky, yet chic. Many dresses came with spines dotted with pearls like a siren emerging from the water. Recalling the scene in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" where mermaids circled the sailors' with their wet hair pulled back, the models in Chanel had whitened and jelled hair, finishing delicately with small pearls. Mini pearls also rimmed ears, perforated lips and tickled several models' inevitably tiny noses. 

An unknown source says that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the most recent (and least successful) installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, served as a creative muse for Lagerfeld. Several aquatic references - from "seaweed" lace, i.e., shards of black fabric strips like Japanese hijiki used for drama on shoulders, to a striking off-white layered chiffon cocktail could be noted throughout the presentation. Overall, this deep sea dive into a visually intoxicating display of plunging neckline and raw edges is certainly a nice change of pace from the little black dress.
