Dresscode: Regatta

Nati

I just came back from my school’s amazing regatta, which took place this weekend on Capri.

Voila, a little selection of my ideal regatta wardrobe (I meant to post this earlier, but the pre-departure got a bit stressful…)

regatta

1. THE essential for each sailing trip is a stripped shirt. This one is by American Vintage, but usually Petit Bateau has some great ones too or just try to go Vintage.

2. Brioni Lurex-knit shorts via net-a-porter. You could just not go to Capri without adding a touch of Missoni glam to your beachwear!

3. Kody leather wedge sandals by Juicy Couture via net-a-porter.

4. Another classic: the espadrille. The Gap has some great ones this summer!

5. Howlite multi-strap drop earings via net-a-porter. Spice up each summer outfit with Isabel Marant’s boho-chic jewelry pieces.

6. Ray-ban wayfarers in red. The Italians just love it!!

7. Panama hat. Just take inspirations from Diane on how to style it!

8. DFV Omaya cutout tunic via net-a-porter. The right choice for the insane white party held at Villa Marina Hotel in Capri.

9./10. As for the beauty essentials: Make sure to have (at least) a little tan, which you could boost with Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Healthy Bronze, and go for bright, orange/red nailpolish. Les Coupines’ favourite for this summer: Monsooner or later by OPI!

I will post some pics of this great trip very very soon!

I love this picture of Diane playing boules in Chanel. Her outfit is pure perfection: the mix of black&white, the texture of the skirt, the loose braid tied together with a ribbon (note to myself: that is how to wear the hair all summer long), the Panama hat…

Thanks to Garance for sharing the pics of this very intimate Chanel event in St. Tropez, they made my day, here in rainy Paris!

I found you!

I finally found the YSL arty ring, which I have been craving for soooo long! 

After being sold out forever, it miraculously resurfaced in Paris…in my favourite colour and in my size!!! So although it is technically last season (ok with YSL, there can never really be a “last season”), I had to get it immediately. This is gonna be my very favourite summer accessory, next to this oh-so Parisian Vintage scarf, I got a Kiliwatch this weekend.

Obsession du jour: headbands

Nati

headbands

Recently, I have been totally obsessed with headbands. Ever since my dearest friend Helena sent me one for my birthday, I cannot stop wearing them. Last week I got one from Jennifer Behr, they’re just the best! I’m telling you, headbands are gonna be THE hottest accessory for the summer, so better get your stock up soon!!

1. You can never go wrong with this chain-embellished headband by Jennifer Behr (via net-a-porter).

2. Take some inspirations from THE Queen of headbands Rumi.

3. Camilla headband by Eugenia Kim (via net-a-porter) , the ultimate accessory for a girls’ night out .

4. Spice up a simple “Tee + Jeans” outfit with the circle feather headband from Topshop.

5. Missoni plaited woven headband if you wanna go hippie de luxe (via net-a-porter).

6. Headbands are an obligatory part of the festival uniform (as captured by the Facehunter at Coachella).

Met Gala 2010

Nati

The Met Gala is definitely one of the hottest and most covetted red carpet events of the year. Without doubt, there were lots of beautiful ball gowns, but I’m mostly intrigued by the more daring and unexpected looks. Voila, my very personal favourites:

Chloe Sevigny in a sublime Proenza Schouler frock

34, Avenue Foch

Nati

J’ adore the very particular, slightly spooky mood of this short movie with Lindsay Wixson and Mariacarla Boscono shot in 34, Avenue Foch, the location of MiuMiu’s last fashionshow here in Paris.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts, I’m gonna be back with more very soon!

RED

Nati

Usually, I’m more the “pink kind of girl“…but lately I realized that I might be even more drawn to red…its all in the details:

Red Timex watch, bought at chez Maman in Paris (coolest watch shop ever!!!)…

IMG_0938

O.P.I. big apple red (I’m wearing it non-stop)…

IMG_0939

Marc Jacobs lipstick pen, my most stylish school accessory (seriously, I get lots of compliments about it, it even grasps the attention of the teachers…haha)

IMG_0898 

…and finally my beloved Prego bikerboots with the red zipper at the back…

Red is my new pink ;-) !!

a walk in the park…

Nati

It is such a beautiful weather here in Paris, so I decided to go for a stroll in the lovely park next to my place…

I wore my new Parka for the first time and tried to strike some serious military like poses for the pics… well I guess I ended up more like making a fool of myself infront of the Parisian families of my quartier
