girl crush: Clémence Poésy

Always spot on in style... if only I could have her entire wardrobe. -kitty hat included-

p.s. apologies on the slow-down of posts! Aran's been starting something new & I've been preparing for a cross country move. Sadly, it's time for my NYC life to come to a close... [for now] - So I've been busy packing and trying to get the last bittersweet bits of the city into my system.

no worries, postings will be back to regular speed!

old world

Dusted off some old images for a bit of historical inspiration

Let's grab the (virtual) suitcases & do a little time travel to get some old world looks - long lengths, retro suiting, full gowns, metal plating details and baroque-like embellishments and styling. We love it all!

girl crush - mireille darc

Among the usual female fashion icons and french girl crushes of the 60s and 70s, Mireille Darc is on the top of the list for us. Of course, we love Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Hardy, Jane Fonda and Susan Eldridge to name a few, but Mireille's full blonde helmetesque bangs and doe-like expression is quite lovely.

What a Betty!
