How to wear fishnet tights?
Two years ago I spotted red fishnet tights on the shelves of my Monoprix (when in France, check this shop, it may look like a supermarket, but is french women’s best kept secret). Good find, that’s exactly the kind of fashionable gadget that’ll upgrade an outfit easily! If you are scared of fishnets (maybe you’re […]
How to wear linen?
And why? Because linen is the most ecological fiber that exists: 80% of it is produced in Europe and France is the first producer in the world (ok I am promoting french trade here, greetings US readers, plant your own crops!) it requires very little water (normandy’s rain is just enough) it requires little to […]

You’ll learn all of that nonetheless by reading the following colorspiration I gathered for you. First of all, […]
What to shop in a thrift store?
Hello les filles, Last week-end I styled two young ladies with limited budget so to make the most of it we went to some thrift stores (amongst others).

Floral prints and how to wear them
How to wear floral prints? The question seems to come back as surely as spring will sprung. This season, the collections have been especially blossoming.

Fashion week inspiration: Milan

How to wear monochrome
Monochrom is in the air! Hints: During last fashion week, each catwalk featured at least one monochromatic outfit. Designer Sies Marjan even made it the theme of her show.

How to wear Levis 501?
I love Levis jeans, they are so iconic. I am jealous of you american readers because in France it is expensive to buy them! They are pretty easy to style in the summer: tuck a light top in, add some heels and bam, killer outfit! But in winter, here come troubles. With their larger legs, […]
How to wear green?
Maybe you know that each year, a lucky color gets to be crowned “shade of the year” In 2017 “greenery” won this most disputed award. I’d describe her as 1/3 rainforest, 1/3 apple and 1/3 golf field green. I feel I could green up my interior design with some plants this shade. (Well, according to my […]
