Chanel No. 5, the first perfume launched by Miss Coco Chanel herself, was created to bridge the gap between the two “types” of women who wore perfume and the types of scents they typically favored. Chanel No. 5 met them in the middle, where women could be sexy without necessarily being scandalous.

Sizzlin’ 
Isn’t this GIF the greatest? It reminds us of old Disney cartoons from way back in the day. But never mind all that. What it really did was remind us of cooking… and that we need a few new pans. If you’re outfitting your new home or apartment, it’s worth checking out eBay for a vast selection of goods. You can pretty much find any kind you like. From eco-healthy ceramic sets to the coveted copper kind, we think eBay has whatever you’re looking for.

The Director of Drive Makes a New Movie
First off, we love a good GIF movie poster. Secondly, we’re counting the days before we get to experience Only God Forgives, the new script and directing efforts of Nicolas Winding Refns (Drive). Here is all we know: (1) It’s set in the Thailand Boxing underworld and filmed in Bangkok, (2) Ryan Gosling is back and badder than ever, and (3) Kristin Scott Thomas plays someone described as “a merciless and terrifying mafia godmother.” We’re already sold. If you can’t wait any longer, peek at the trailer here.

The Winner of Our You Can’t Fake Fashion Contest Is…
Hark, The Inside Source has found a winner for the graphic contest celebrating eBay and CFDA’s You Can’t Fake Fashion campaign! After judging tons of entries for creativity and originality, we award Marcy Castelgrande a $500 eBay gift card for her design “True Beauty” (see her artist statement below). We’d like to thank all our other entries who submitted amazing works. 
Title of Submission: True Beauty
Artist Name: Marcy Castelgrande
What is the inspiration behind your submission? 
A pure design is an evolution of creativity, inspired by vintage accessories and large floral prints, modern shapes, seasonal colors, and the reflective print trend. This bag illustrates that a true design is not a copy or a counterfeit. It is the love affair of ideas and a growth of creativity, and if these designs become merely clones of one another, the true beauty dies.
