brigid




"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
I love this quote by Coco Chanel. It makes me think of my friend Brigid, she always seems to be ready to meet her destiny in a beautiful and very original style.
And yes! Those are tattoos on her legs.

  9. Hey you!! Loving your blog as usual. I love the eyebrows, I love behind the legs. I love the individuality. Uniqueness.

    Always will love Coco. My mother wears no.5 and the scent makes me think of Coco's real quotes.

  18. Those have to be the most creative tattoos that I've ever seen. Amazing! And they'll never go out of style.

    I think my grandmother loves Coco Chanel as she always insisted that my father leave the house in clean, ironed underwear in case he was in a horrible accident. Needed to look good at the hospital ER.
