Meet my new girl crush, Geraldine Saglio. She's French (of course), a stylist at French Vogue, and a poster girl for Parisian chic, favoring streamlined staples, such as skinny jeans, a button-down shirt, leather jacket and sky-high heels. With her minimal makeup and undone hair, Saglio has the city's nonchalant flair nailed. Check out the inspiring pics below and divine the Gallic girl in you. (P.S. You can buy her Current/Elliot leopard print jeans .)
Funny coincidence: Next week I was planning to feature a blue and white color-blocked sweater from Mango that looks exactly like the one Saglio is wearing in this picture. But it is now, if you are so inspired.
First, my twin sister reported last week that Sophia Coppola dropped off her daughter at their preschool wearing what looked like old Levi's 501's from the '90s. Then earlier this week at a cover shoot, the uber cool, always ahead-of-the-curve fashion stylist was wearing a similar vintage-looking style. Then at a meeting the next day with denim brand MiH, I learned that one of their bestselling silhouettes is the Halsey (above), a high-rise straight leg jean that fits like the pair you had back in the '90s--straight through the legs and relaxed. The style pictured above sold out at , but stocks the brand's lighter wash below and MiH will have a dark crisp denim coming out later this summer. Or, you can always dig out your old Levi's.
This embellished white tank is spot-on for summer. Dress it up with a structured blazer or play it cool with a pair of crisp white jeans. P.S. It's also an doppleganger. I'd wear it now with...
Spring's erratic weather calls for smart layering, and this oversized Isabel Marant jacket might just be the ultimate wear-over-everything solution. Bonus attributes: it's a fresh update on the long-loved army jacket and it exudes ahead-of-the-curve hipness. Plus, its boxy silhouette is completely in sync with Fall 2012's coolest . Wear it with...
Is it just me or does this sweater not have an vibe? The tassels, the Native American detailing, the fringe on the sleeves... In any case, it looks like the kind of sweater some uber cool downtown-dwelling fashion-y type would wear ever so nonchalantly to go about her day. Wear it with...
Maybe it was the cold, the rain, the snow, or all of above, but casual dressing was in the New York air last week. Which explains the number of ripped jeans seen going to and from the shows. I had a pair that I wore a few years ago, and it was only last month that I banished them into retirement (i.e., gave them away). Guess that was premature. Oh, well. If I don't sit this one out, I might just go for these from Asos.
A biker jacket rendered in boucle fabric is counter-intuitive--and totally amazing. Considering all the oversize jackets on the fall 2012 runways, I'd go one size up in this one. That way I can pack some serious layers underneath it and wear it into the ground.
Ikat + denim = Jeanious! Seriously, how cute are these printed jeans? They also come in . I can't decide which one is cooler. But let's start with tried and true blue. Wear them with...
*These high tops might seem adventurous and/or offbeat, but get used to seeing them. Every primo designer is offering high-end versions, from Isabel Marant (which are selling out on netaporter.com and are all the rage among fashion insiders) to Gucci and Lanvin. Check out style street star and Moda Operandi exec Taylor Tomasi Hill sporting her sneakers to a New York fashion show here.
