Charlotte - Style & fashion
Bonsoir, my name is Charlotte. My mother, ex-model for Saint-Laurent, is American but I’ve lived in Paris since I was 4 years old. Since my mother was often abroad for fashion shows, my French grandmother, a dressmaker for Chanel, taught me the way to become a real Parisian. Today, I’m a wedding-planner and my husband directs a famous fashion magazine. I don’t have to tell you that I have a front seat at all of the fashion shows and I’ve developed a good general culture about fashion. Although I’m the personal shopper for my friends, my strong points are marriage and elegance.

Il rosa è un colore prevalentemente femminile che incarna dolcezza e romanticismo! Spesso viene associato alla gioia, da qui deriva il popolare modo di dire “vedere la vita in rosa”. Vestirsi di rosa è quindi una buona idea per cominciare la giornata con la giusta dose di felicità… Vestirsi di rosa è sempre di moda, anche per estate.

Stonewashed jeans are a piece of clothing that never goes out of fashion and that the Parisian woman loves. In Paris that light blue jeans are not worn sporty, but in a casual chic way often with a feminine detail, can be the handbag, sandals, sectorial blouse or steering wheel... Take a good look at the following photos, every detail is important.
From season to season and from look to look, light blue jeans continue to be the protagonists of fashion. Here are 15 cool ideas to wear them in style in 2020, whether you\\\'re going to Paris or confined to your home or your reason:
1. With white t-shirt, light-coloured jacket and low shoe;
2. With white t-shirt, trench coat and moccasin. In this look the length of the trousers is important to highlight the male shoes.An interesting detail, the absence of a belt, which makes the look very natural;
3. With a fitted white t-shirt and slim sandals. Here again, two important details that make the look very trendy: the absence of a belt and the animal-looking clutch bag, a must of the season;
4. With white shirt and leather nail with a coloured shoe. Always very feminine. The pink goes very strong and I often wear jeans just like that, they are pink sandals, and my \\\"perfect\\\" black leather jacket. No belt here too! NB: the collar of the shirt closed by a masculine look but also \\\"gentle fille\\\" as the French say (good girl);
5. With a tulle top and high-heeled sandals;
6. With a white ruffle blouse, a very feminine and romantic look. The detail that makes the look fashionable is definitely the cut of the trousers and the python print pochette;
7. With black t-shirt and sneakers and brown \\\"cognac\\\" belt assorted with the \\\"shopping\\\" or \\\"tot\\\" bag. Here a multitude of details make the look trendy, look at the length of the trousers, the simplicity of the belt, the clean shoes, the large but quality bag. A truly Parisian and chic look;
8. With white t-shirt, masculine jacket and décolleté. A work look, when jeans are allowed to work... Always the snake pochette. This slightly revisited look from the 1980s with the blazer is very elegant. Classic but effective. Detail, the thin necklace that gives its classic, chic toco. This look is really a feminine, masculine, casual and elegant game;
9. With oversized shirt and two-tone slingback. . A feminine/masculine game that the Parisian loves. Check out the super classic 1940\\\'s bag and the Chanel chicks shoes. Beautiful shirt in tone with the pants;
10. With wide white t-shirt and coloured ballerina. Still here, no belt! Red is always sexy. A \\\"movie star en ville\\\" look. But red makes it trendy!
11. With a very feminine white V-neck shirt and maxi straw bag (so trendy in 2020). Take a good look at the details on this photo: no belt, the length of the trousers and the type of dancers. This St Tropez look has become very Parisian;
12. With oversize pullover and Chanel type dancer. Important the mini bag that makes the look fashionable. The length of the trousers is also beautiful and feminine. Cute glasses too. The navy blue of the sweater seems interesting to me to give its \\\"holiday in Brittany\\\" touch but in Paris;
13. With oversize pullover and two-tone slingback. Look at the details, the type of feminine bag, the cut of the sweater, the hairstyle of the hair, flat shoes of course in this case!
14. With maxi overcoat and light brown low sandals. Look at the set of brown that are very chic. Very nice also the linen t-shirt and Ray Ban glasses. All very chic and simple;
15. With \\\"marinara\\\" and military style jacket. J\\\'adore ! Et vous ? Just look and copy.

Confinement: great return of the pyjama

As a great lover of masculine elegance and having the good fortune to live with one of the most chic & smart Italians on the peninsula I was a little worried that this period of confinement would be synonymous with jogging for him as well as for me. In order not to fall into the trap of letting go physically and morally, I immediately decided to put my wardrobe to the test. And nice surprise, my man also with a trend, I take out my pyjamas and English dressing gowns until breakfast!
THE PARISIAN'S IT BAG
- Time:Monday, 09 March 2020

The Parisian and her handbag…a love story over the centuries. It can be mini, just enough for a phone and a credit card although very often huge, heavy and an annex to our home. We love it. During a well-filled day, it even turns into a set of matryoshkas, the Balenciaga shopping bag housing a Fendi evening bag and, of course, a makeup bag, not forgetting the shoulder bag for things that have to be found quickly…

HOW TO WEAR A FRINGE LIKE A PARISIENNE
- Time:Thursday, 21 July 2022
- Be the first to comment!
Are you in the hunt for a chic and effortless Parisian looking? The hairstyle is fundamental and for the last two years the fringe cut have been everywhere. But as always the Parisian woman even with fringe has a style all her own. Let's try to decipher together... First rule: while bangs can be worn on most hairstyles, they don't necessarily fit everyone and can't necessarily correspond to all hair types, so you'll have to be critical in front of the mirror and make a few adjustments to its shape or length for a true Parisian look. If you've always hesitated to adopt it in 2019, this year it's almost unavoidable in Paris provided you choose the right fringe.
