Book Review: Chanel Bio for Kids!

 Darlings, CC is so excited to share this insightful book review by guest editor and fledgling fashionista Paulette, a 7th grader from Canton, CT! 

Paulette was photographed at home by her mom, my dear friend and fellow UConn Law School alum Aimee Hoben, who just published her first novel, The Third Way - read about it here and purchase it here!

Paulette's review:

"I Am Coco – The Life of Coco Chanel is the compelling story of Coco Chanel with captivating illustrations and all you need to know about the life of one of the world’s most iconic fashion designers. Isabel Pin made this book feel less like a non-fiction book and more like the inspiring story of a young woman willing to do anything to achieve her dream."

I Am Coco: The Life of Coco Chanel by Isabel Pin (release date: Sept. 13, Hardcover $17.95, Ages 6-9, 88 pages). 

Follow the French-and-German author and illustrator on Instagram @isabelpinworksbooks and pre-order copies of this beautiful bio for the budding fashionistas in your life here! 

Many thanks to Paulette for her thoughtful and eloquent review and to her mom, Aimee, for the pretty pics!

CC Loves... Ponyback Hats!

 Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Ponyback Hats, a chic and innovative collection of caps that let you style your hair as desired and keep you covered! A special thank you to Courtney at ChicExecs PR and Stacy, the company's founder, an entrepreneur and an active mother of 3 boys! 

Ponyback Hats are not only fashionable and comfortable, their patent-pending design is fabulously functional: a large magnetic opening at the back of the cap accommodates any hair style or type without the hassle and discomfort of velcro, buttons or snaps! 

CC absolutely adores these hats, which come in a variety of colors and sizes for both women and girls, available at ponybackhats.com. Be sure to follow @ponybackstyle on Instagram so you can keep up with this innovative brand!
