Pride and Prejudice Quotes from Novel to Film (Chapter 7)

Image
Continuing from my previous posts ( Chapters 1-6 ) and moving on to Chapter 7 , which was about Mrs. Bennet telling Jane to go on horseback while she visits Miss Bingley at Netherfield instead of riding the carriage because she said that it'll rain that day and Jane will have to stay the night (with the Bingley's), exactly as she predicted. Of course, we all know it was actually Mrs. B's way of subtle trying to hook-up her beloved eldest daughter to Mr. Bingley, lol. Okay, now, let's get to Chapter 7 ...

New photoshoot of Keira Knightley for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance Campaign 2017

Image
A decade ago ( 2007 ), Keira Knightley started out as the fresh face of Chanel 's Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance . She had done some adverts campaign and a few TV commercials (all directed by her P&P / Atonement / AK director Joe Wright ). Now, ten years later, she remains Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle 's long-time spokesmodel for its fragrance. She was recently photographed by the acclaimed photographer Mario Testino for the 2017 ad campaign. No TV Commercial has been released as of yet, though I wonder if JW will reunite with KK to direct her (again) in another Chanel commercial. Let's hope so! We shall see! Also, she is the current face of the Chanel Fine Jewellery Campaign , which was launched last year ( 2016 ) and she wore designs of yellow and white diamonds in the adverts. Plus she did a Rouge Coco lipstick  campaign in 2015 . See the stunningly gorgeous Keira Knightley in her new Chanel 's Coco Mademoiselle photoshoot spread below...
