Chanel's Christmas 2011 Accessories Collection

Maybe it's a little early to be writing about Christmas, but I attended my first Christmas event last week and already have Christina Aguilera's Christmas album back on the iPod. Chanel are also thinking about the festive season, and have just released images of their Christmas 2011 accessories collection. The gorgeous gifts won't hit Chanel boutiques until December but that doesn't mean you can't start writing a Christmas list now...

Do you like the look of the Chanel Christmas 2011 accessories collection? Which piece would you most like to find under your Christmas tree this year? For me it has to be the lavender 2.55 handbag followed closely by the pearl earrings. 

And keep reading to see the Chanel on a budget Christmas guide...

Five Chanel Christmas gift ideas for under £100:

Signe Chanel - Haute Couture Collection - This documentary follows the creation of the Chanel A/W 2004 Haute Couture collection. An absolute must-see! 

Rogue Coco Shine lipstick - I tried Chanel lipstick for the first time ever a couple of months ago and now I'm addicted. Rogue Coco Shine is my favourite, as it's not too sticky or too glossy and comes in a great selection of colours. 

Mademoiselle - Coco Chanel / Summer 62 - A selection of photographs of Coco Chanel in her studio at 31 rue Cambon. 

Miss Selfridge's Chanel lookalike dress - No, it isn't real Chanel. But at £37 you can't go wrong with this black and white peter-pan collar dress. It definitely has a touch of Chanel about it.  

Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life - I still haven't got round to reading this biography of Coco Chanel but it's top of my Christmas list. It received great reviews from the fashion press so is sure to be good.
