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.
HAVE BEEN SEARCHING for a skinny jeans (or denim in general) alternative for some time now, and just like that, a new spring trend has arrived just time.
The first day of spring has only just passed and already we're dreaming of lusty summer days. Days filled with fluttery little white guipure lace dresses and wicker; peachy luminizer and coconut highlighter, bronzy skin against crashing waves and falling rays of golden sun...
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.
This is a time of fashion houses reissuing their iconic pieces, and with Fendi's reissuing of its Baguette on the SS19 runways and Karl Lagerfeld's recent passing away, the Italian fashion house is very much on everyone's minds. The late designer did, after all, work for the brand for 54 years. So for this edition of Style Inspiration, we'll look at the many iterations of Fendi's iconic FℲ branded pieces, from mock turtlenecks and knits to capes, tights, and trenches, and of course, the Baguette.

May this year be a softer journey. May we survive through art, friends and all the beautiful things around us. I hope to take more care of myself this year, to have more healthy habits, to take care of my skin, to sleep the necessary hours, to take care of my thoughts and my feelings.
Old-school hair accessories have really been making a comeback. Scrunchies, hairbands, clips, barrettes and slides have been seen on fashionistas and Instagrammers everywhere, but none so ubiquitous as the Gucci barrettes and hair slides. Made of crystal-embellished tortoiseshell resin emblazoned with the brand's name, it's encrusted with crystals and mini gold studs and perfectly dresses up an everyday look. The brand also makes an alternative barrette encrusted with the word "Amour" (shop here). Apart from Gucci, there are also other styles to choose from as well, including pearl clips and gold-plated hairpins...
STRANGE to be writing this message on the very last day of the year, as when many of these photos were taken, the month of December stretched out like a long and languid dream.
These days have been filled with lots of dinners and parties for many Parisians. Meanwhile, there are is always some last-minute shopping and final outfit preparations for the next holiday soirée, so I gathered a few outfit ideas inspired by my clients' shopping.
