Paris, Je T'aime

I was parousing jcrew.com, as I normally do when I came upon their fall look book. My favorite part was the photography. It's shot in Paris. So, here are some of my favorite looks from it.


It's good to have one piece, and one color to be the focus of your outfit. The orange coat is perfect. Wear a neutral patterned skirt, with a solid colored top underneath it. Also, don't forget fun shoes.


With this look, layering is the key. We all love layering for fall, but you have to make it interesting to make it look good. Take this; a frilly patterned blouse under a basic white v-neck sweater, all under a dark jacket, paired with neutral toned pants. It will keep you warm and look good.


This is such a cute dress. It has books all over it. Sound nerdy to you? It's actually very chic paired with this lovely white cardigan, also with books on it. I think its an interesting idea for something to put on clothes, very vintage inspired, yet modern at the same time.


I love this look. It brings to mind someone living in New York City who is off to a ball, but having to take the subway and run about town to her destination, she wears converses under her ballgown and diamonds. Of course, this is a far cry from NYC, it is shot in PARIS, but I love how simply chic it is. The fancy dress beneath the every day coat, paired with heels and hair pulled back with a headband is just genius. You can take this look from a day of shopping in boutiques downtown, and then out to a fancy evening engagement later on. Just take the coat off and let your hair down.

Oh I adore them all! Thanks for the post! Super cute! OH I ADORE! Jessica Stam, she looks so down to earth! And Caroline Trenntini! She looks so innocent and demure. Not all snobby and "I know I'm gorgeous so love me!" I really think only a few have the potential to rock the supermodel world. Like Raquel.... I think she's very unique, but I think she's very ugly. I think Sasha, Lily, and Irina and Chanel and Natalia have true potential to rock the fashion world. Doutzen is relly pretty too!


Oh Btw.... Trade links?

Love ya girl!
