What Goes Around Comes Around revealed their new Vintage Chanel collection this past week (check out HL coverage). Inspired by some double C’s, I constructed a few collages based on vintage Chanel handbags on this amazing site Polyvore.com. Here are a few of the looks I came up with (as well as the one above).

It’s like the virtual version of collaging from cut-up Seventeen Mags and Vogue, string fibers, highlighers and pastels. But even better, it’s free, you won’t have rubber cement goo fingers, and you can share with all your friends and even enter contests sponsored by the Barney’s.
