There are no rules on how to perfect shopping. As a stylist, I see women everyday trying and buying things―things that are trendy, things that don’t fit well, or the right colour. For this week, I just want to share with you a few essentials that every woman needs in her wardrobe. Every one of these pieces will elevate your look, no matter what your work environment looks like. These are the key pieces to put on your shopping list.

Mini Trend: the Silk Scarf

OF ALL THE CURRENT spring trends, the silk scarf is one of our favourites. Pretty and versatile, you can wear it in your hair or adorn the handle of a handbag or wicker tote; wear it around the neck or the wrist, or channel Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and wear as a head-covering with oversize shades. Whatever your preference, nothing is quite as chic as a silk scarf this season (or anytime, really).

DANIELA wrote about Virginie Viard's appointment at Chanel in early March (The Woman Behind Chanel: Virginie Viard) and since then, we've been waiting to see the new creative director's debut. That moment has finally arrived, in Paris at the Grand Palais, which was turned into a train station.

Spring Trend: The White Trouser Suit / Pantsuit

SPRING'S CHICEST look by far is the trouser or pant suit, and our favourite iteration of the trend is in always-elegant all white. Whether in linen or satin, white strappy sandals or chunky trainers, it's a look that is crisp yet relaxed and can go from office to weekend effortlessly.

Trouser Suits for Springtime & Anytime

You can call me overly obsessed with the trouser suit style and I will agree with you. I think there is no other style that makes a women look more powerful and confident, attractive and stylish than while wearing a full suit. When I spend my days at work in a suit, I never feel more comfortable or confident. In fact, I often get asked by my clients if they can try the look as well and this inspired me to write a few words about this great style option.

Spring Trend: The Eternally Chic Trench Coat

IT'S TRENCH COAT season! And while my trusty Burberry is being freshened up at the dry cleaners, here is a little inspiration on how to style the eternally chic trench, somewhat a tradition around here at TIG in the springtime.

Spring Trend: The Bottega Veneta Gathered Clutch

THINK THE FIRST time we fell in love with the gathered leather clutch was with Phoebe Philo and Old Céline's Spring 2018 RTW collection shown in Paris in June 2017. Now, a couple of years later, Bottega Veneta has their own version, and the rest of the world (especially on Instagram) seems to have fallen for this chic fashion accessory as well. We're especially enamoured with the ones featuring the Italian fashion house's signature Intrecciato weaving technique. Scroll through for more inspiration and shopping links...

The Surprising Return of Baby’s Breath

Amazingly, only saw The Godfather (1972, Francis Ford Coppola) recently, and was taken by Connie's headdress, which looks to be a bunch of baby's breath, in the lavish opening wedding scene. Baby's Breath, or Gypsophila, (/dʒɪpˈsɒfɪlə/) is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae.

The Parisian Way to Wear this Chic Spring Trend

The utility or boiler suit is one spring trend that I am willing to give a try this year. Whether you follow trends or not, this one is timeless and works with everything, on every occasion―depending, of course, on the style and fabric of the piece you have. You can choose one in denim or you can choose leather, cotton, linen, or lurex, etc.―all of these options being easy to style.

The Most famous département stores in Paris are a stopping point on all touristic itineraries. Aristide Boucicaut is one of the pioneers of creating the département store, opening “Au Bon Marché” in 1852. Since then the phenomenon of this style of shopping has become an integral part of life in France.
