Parisian Chic Style - Copy it

Certainly Paris fashion week beats the bejesus out of everyone else (New York, too furry; London, too silly; Milan, too Footballers’ Wives), but what of the French themselves?

From staying slender despite a diet of red wine and baguettes to having perfectly-behaved children, the fascination with French women and their seemingly idyllic lives shows no sign of abating. More than staying slim, however, it’s their chic sense of style and elegant insouciance that has the rest of the world gnashing its teeth in envy.

Parisian chic is elegant and effortless, and much classier than the standard American getup of Uggs and a North Face. It’s easy to pull off if you know what you are doing. With a few key pieces and the right attitude, you’ll look you walked right off the Champs-Élysées!

The bag. It’s not an accessory, it’s your home. It’s an indispensable shambles where you’re just as likely to find a shrivelled up four-leaf clover as an old electricity bill. If it’s beautiful on the outside, that’s just to keep up appearances. And so that no one ever wonders what’s inside.

 

 The little black blazer. It smartens up a scruffy pair of jeans (the ones you wear all the time) and you wear it on days when you don’t want to make it look too obvious that you don’t feel like making an effort.

Ballet flats. Your equivalent of slippers. You don’t choose between comfort and elegance; for you, it’s all or nothing. Nobody ever saw Audrey Hepburn wearing carpet slippers.

 A small silk scarf. It has more than one function. First, it adds a touch of colour to a dark outfit without running the risk of a fashion faux pas. Then, when it rains, you wear it over your head like Romy Schneider. And, on occasion, you can even use it to wipe your child’s nose when you’ve run out of tissues.

 Basic oversized sunglasses. Every day, even when it’s raining, because you always have a reason to wear them: too bright out, a hangover, tears running down your face, a desire to be mysterious…

Coco Chanel Quotes

As a woman who never let anyone tell her what to wear or how to live her life, Coco Chanel is responsible for changing the fashion scene in some pretty major ways. Not only did she reinvent the basics of a woman’s wardrobe, but she taught the world a huge lesson is dressing not only please yourself, but to go beyond any societal standards put in place about personal fashion. Just take a look for yourself at these incredible quotes worthy of living by, as said by the fashion goddess herself...

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

“The best color in the world is the one that looks good on you.”

“Fashion changes, but style endures.”

“Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”

“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.”

“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.”

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”

“My life didn’t please me, so I created my life.”

“As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!”

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

“A woman can be overdressed but never over elegant.”

“A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.”

Pre-Fall 2015 Trends to Try Now

Pre-fall 2015 is a strange fashion schedule that traverses November through May. Sometimes it lingers until pre-fall, which gives credence to its’ name. Although the timing of this season is confusing, its styles are something you should try now! If you’re ready to be at the forefront of fashion, get your hands on these pre-fall 2015 trends.

1. Layers – Pre-fall 2015 trends are all about staying stylish and cozy. Of course, a great way to do so is to wear layers. Put your clothes on top of one another for a comfy yet textured look.

2. The Ornamental Belt – A belt has many uses, but for pre-fall 2015 trends, it is used more as an ornament. Follow the fashions of Prada and Balmain by using a belt as decoration rather than purposive reasons.

3. The Long Skinny Scarf – Updating the classics is one of the hallmarks of pre-fall 2015 trends. Such is the case of Givenchy, which has updated the long skinny scarf by styling it as a necktie.

4. Knee-High Socks – One of the pre-fall 2015 trends that can keep your legs warm and fashionable is the knee-high sock. As in the spirit of rejuvenating fashion classics, designers are reinventing these socks for the runways. Miu Miu invigorates the look by creating a haute couture, girl scout-like fashion style by sending its models down the runway in shorts and knee-high socks.

5. Fishnet Stockings – Fishnet stockings might be reminiscent of Moulin Rouge, but designers nowadays consider them to be some of the hottest pre-fall 2015 trends. They can be a welcome alternative to your usual tights! -

6. Brooches – A brooch is a hot item that can glamorize your look. This accessory can be utilized on a number of items, such as the blanket cape. A hot item over the past few seasons, it continues to be one of the hottest pre-fall 2015 trends. Rejuvenate your look by keeping your cape together with a fancy pin or brooch. The same accessorizing trend applies with your favorite jacket. A stunning brooch can make your topper look like one of the runway’s most expensive pre-fall 2015 trends.
