JE T'AIME

 
 
 
Music to get you in the french mood..... 
 
Effortless. Timeless. Radiating Confidence. Slightly messy but yet so refined. Alluring. Elusive & uncontrived - just some words to describe the “French” look. Parisians have a certain how does one say “Je ne sais quoi”...... & to me -  undoubtedly the most beautiful and effortlessly dressed women.
 
 
Here are some ways you can bring the French out of you! Ooh lala!

 
1.       Negligee….meaning “neglected”.  Rough your hair after its been styled to give you the perfect “bed Head” look.  The French do not like heavy makeup. Moisturized healthy skin is sexier than any face full of foundation. Try a Tinted moisturizer, dab on lipstick with your finger and use the same color for your cheeks. Dress it up with a a gorgeous cat eyeliner & Voila! Easy, simple and sexy.
2.      Chic Casual Style – Dress in outfits that work for your body and always add a scarf. Choose neutrals over rainbows. The French favor black, greys, a rich champagne color, soft rose colors and creams. Go for a gorgeous knit, silk or cashmere fabric, never look sloppy – comfortable and confident is key. Swap tennis sneakers for flats, jeans for fitted black capri leggings and instead of a puffy jacket wear a blazer. Swap out your shorts and tank for a summer dress and with a gorgeous cardigan and ankle boots.
 
Here are some of the key pieces to keep in mind when going Parisian. This look is one any fashionista can afford – suitable for any budget.  Happy wallet Happy You! Look through your closet, I'm sure you already have most of these pieces. If your short on cash, try the local 2nd hand store for a trench and blazer, they usually have great finds!
 
    • Trench Coat
