I know we've been hearing about the "Return of the 1980s" for a few seasons now, but it's only within the past couple of weeks that I've actually felt like that pronouncement is true. First, I saw <em>ELLE Canada</em>'s 80s-tastic September cover (I swear, it could have said September 1989 and I wouldn't have known the difference). Then, I went shopping. Seems our sartorial options this year are limited to pleated pants, rolled-up cuffs, jazz shoes and the like. Ew.

But hey—maybe I can come around with the makeup, at least. Especially when it's <a href="http://uma.chanel.com/makeup/colour-collection.php" target="_blank">Chanel</a>! (Mais oui!)

It was Venice—apparently a city Mademoiselle Chanel adored. (I'm thinking that was before all the stinky pigeons took over.)
