Our love of Chanel seems to increase by the day, so imagine how ecstatic we were when we heard that Karl Lagerfeld has decided to follow in the footsteps of the likes of H&M and Forever 21 and launch the label's first-ever in-house magazine. Named 31 Rue Cambon, after the first and oldest Chanel boutiques in the world, the first issue is pulling out all the stops, having enlisted the talents of Purple magazine's Olivier Zahm. Zahm explained that "this is the first issue of 31 Rue Cambon, the first Chanel magazine which I have art directed and designed for Karl Lagerfeld, to be distributed worlwide in all the Chanel stores."

We're happy to see that Chanel is still championing print publications and we just can't wait to see the finished product. With Zahm on board, expect glossy and artistic pictures (hopefully some featuring male model of the moment Baptiste Giabiconi).

For us Brits across the pond, it can be a nightmare trying to get hold of our favourite American brands without the seven-hour plus plane journey, right? Many brands stock exclusively to the US without options to ship to Britain, and if they do send our goodies to us, charge an extortionate postal rate. Bundle Box, however is providing the answers to our prayers.

Providing us with our own Stateside address, and buying on our behalf to avoid sites that don't accept British credit cards, it allows you to buy from many different American sites and bundle them all into a box of goodies, which will then be shipped to you within five to ten days. Perfect for Christmas shopping without the expensive trip to the Big Apple or LA, the more you bundle in your box, the better the shipping rate, and whilst some of the brands provided currently ship to the UK, there are savings to be had by buying from their hometown! The variety of brands available include 3.1. Phillip Lim, Forever 21 and Tory Burch, making the site a perfect place to do some early Christmas shopping. It's even free to register, so now we have no excuse not to look every inch the Gossip Girl this Winter.
