There are apparently 123 items in the No. 5 jewelry collection at Chanel (see yesterday) and only a few of the pieces are online, possibly because the rest are too expensive to list the prices?

Like diamonds? Like Chanel No. 5? This lemming is for you. From the No. 5 jewelry collection at Chanel, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Chanel No. 5, the 55.55 necklace in diamonds and white gold. It is called the 55.55 necklace because that's the carat weight of the emerald-cut diamond in the center. No, it's not for sale, but it will apparently be exhibited from time to time.

A lemming for Coco Mademoiselle fans: the new limited edition Collection Été, coming soon, with two items. Le Gel ("A 2-in-1 after-sun shower gel for the hair and body, delicately scented with the notes of COCO MADEMOISELLE. Designed specially for summer, its formula removes UV filters.") and Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau light fragrance mist for body and hair ("Notes of bright, sparkling citrus are softened by a heart of rose and jasmine petals. The base notes are soft and delicate. A new, summery facet of COCO MADEMOISELLE that is fresher and fruitier.") will both be available in travel-friendly 100 ml.

“You did it with patchouli,” the executive says. “No one smells Coromandel and thinks of Woodstock.”
“Not at that price,” the intern mutters…
