Chanel Spring 2006 Camellia Dress

Oh Marissa Cooper . . . we miss you so. Our Thursday nights are hollow and empty without gawking at your endless teenage trials and tribulations. Newport and the whole of Orange County will never be the same, now that you've departed. Oh well, if we can't see you anymore, prehaps dressing just like you will help. Below ladeez, spy the Chanel Spring 2006 dress adorned by Miss Marissa~played by doe-eyed Mischa Barton~which was also draped on Gemma Ward for the runway (though the dress in the photograph is the show version--the style for purchase in stores and here on our blog features ruching at the bust instead of the large Camellia).

Comprised of a textured crinkled and crushed cream colored silk, this lovely Lagerfeld conconction also features signature Chanel large applique camellias at the hem and pearlized camellia button closures at the back. Only TWO dresses were available in the states. The one worn by Barton and this baby. Originally retailed for $18,000 and priced here at $12,000. In a French 36, though this dazzling dress does run a bit large and would fit a US 6/8. In smashing condition!





Prada White Label Trench Coat

Every gal needs a dash of mystery to her. It adds that certain je ne sais quoi, ups her allure quotient, says "Hey, this girl walks the line. She's dangerous and there ain't nothing nobody can do about it." The trench coat is the consummate clothing item that gives a girl an unpredicatable edge. Maybe she's a spy or maybe she's just French. Let 'em wonder, honey.

This Prada White Label double-breasted trench coat is guaranteed to keep 'em guessing. Comprised of a classic tan light-weight nylon, this terrific trench is belted at the waist and just screams sex-appeal. We don't recommend wearing this chic coat in the rain or snow as the nylon has not been weatherproofed. We do however, recommend wearing it in all other places and spaces. In an Italian 42~approximately a US size 8~and in excellent condition and available for $550.00

Comprised of a splendid silk pleated overlay (eat your heart out Mary McFadden), this dazzling dress features gorgeous glass beading, hidden side snap closures, bow detail at the bust and silk lining/interior shell. In a US size 8/French 40 and in exquisite condition. Originally retailed for $8000 and priced at $2500.00~For further information or to purchase, please contact: thegang@decadestwo.com
