I bumped into a stylist (of the uber Hollywood ilk) friend of mine the other night, and as usual, she looked unerringly hip, in black cropped leather-like jeans, a white t-shirt and red ballet slippers, which dutifully worked to give her basic outfit a jolt of French girl-chic. Since I've seen her, I've been steadfastly wearing my red flats out and about with...

1. Vionnet asymmetric silk top,
2. Topshop sleeveless blazer*,
3. Alexander Wang washed leather chain handle bag,
4. Gap ballet flats,
5. Current Elliot gray leopard jeans,

* Wear this sleeveless blazer unbuttoned and open for a swingy vest-like effect..
