Effortless Chic

French women can be so stunning in such an unassuming way. My favorite part of visiting France is people watching, or more specifically, French women watching. (My husband likes it too!) 

 I like to call their style "effortless chic." The way they tie their scarves, or how they put an outfit together is just an innate talent. A great French designer who inspires me is Isabel Marant. If you haven't seen her clothes, be sure to take a look at them at www.net-a-porter.com. The outfit above features her Bradi black leather jacket, the perfect addition for a cool walk down the Champs-Elysee.

 Shown above is the casually sexy Alden one shouldered dress. I love everything..... the fabric, the cut, the ruffles and the skirt is the perfect length.

 Talk about an unexpected mix! Isabel's Joliet skirt is a witty counterpoint to her Fujiyama sweatshirt.  Can't you picture this ensemble on some cute young French girl leaving Lauduree with several macaroons in hand!

 The Adriana top shown above is a personal favorite.  I could also see it with white jeans and a leather jacket. Ooooh la la!

And, finally, you wouldn't be French without some fabulous fringed scarf to throw around (effortlessly of course!)
