Isabel Marant fall campaign

Kate + Isabel Marant = perfect 50s rock style

Just love this new Isabel Marant campaign for fall. Can’t wait for the new pieces to hit stores…

Classy

Of course, Colette has developed some fun stuff to celebrate the occasion:

Here to stay

Wohooo!!! I just found out that my dearest Coupine will stay in Paris and decided this was totally post-worthy! I guess it’s really important to find a place in the world where you just “fit in”. Not only style-wise or socially. But above all it is about finding a place that inspires you and that can give you energy. And the opportunities to get closer to your dreams;-). I feel like Paris can be all that for Nati. Soo happy!

Sailor chic

This summer I’m totally into the sailor/ regatta look. Love the combination of navy blue and white, gold accessories, stripes and red lipstick.

wanted: the Kooples blazer

Spotted for the first time on a model during fashion week, I have been craving this blazer forever!! It has THE perfect fit, a really nice material to wear during summer and the little skull on the blazer’s emblem is the right detail to balance off the preppy look. I’m just wondering if it would be wise to wait until sales to get it…

Go Marc!

Marc Jacobs just won the CFDA award for Womenswear designer of the year. This was soo well deserved considering his wonderful fall collection!

The best dressed women of the evening were wearing Marc of course!

Check out the other award winners here.

And now a little “Marc reminiscing“:

the hat

I had already told you about my hat obsession earlier…and indeed I have been buying and wearing lots of hats lately…can’t do in Paris without one!! I have been meaning to post this “hat outfit” for really long:

This is one of my favourite hats. Technically, its not even mine, but I “stole” it from my friend Isa. It’s Vintage and we bought it together chez Episode on Rue Tiquetonne.

Rest of the outfit: Zara shorts and blazer, Isabel Marant plaid tunic, Zadig&Voltaire scarf, Chloe Elsie bag.

Sexy smoke

So don’t get me wrong here! By no means I want to promote smoking on this blog, I’m actually a total anti-smoker and never even tried it…But still, since I’m living in Paris, I cannot deny it anymore: all the cool people do it…and come on, it looks damn sexy, non?!!

I especially love this short movie of one of my all time favourite bloggers Gala:

Polished perfection: Hermès ‘Constance’

Bye bye slouchy bags! The new shape for bags is small and square with a long strap and ‘retro-feel’. While everyone else seems to go crazy about Celine’s Heritage model I’d rather take that money straight to Hermès. Not exactly an understatement accessory, the classic ‘Constance’ does offer a prestige that is priceless. Plus we probably won’t get tired of it all too soon as Hermès bags always stay refreshingly fad-resistant!

Anastasia Barbieri featured the Hermès Constance in one of my all-time favourite editorials in Vogue. Très Parisienne! What do you think, Nat?

I love how it perfectly matches elegant and simple outfits in soft tones. Quite my bag;-)!

Oh oh and even Anna wears it! Right there, that’s the proof! It IS a must-have accessory for the global best dressed (see where I’m aiming at? Ha ha!). No I just have to figure out a financial plan (crisis, crisis!) and then this will be my door-opener for Paris Fashion Week. Better than paper tickets. Definitely!
