Studs and Stripes

October 31, 2009 / 6 Comments

La Coupine 1 is finally back in town and we spent some quality girls time today: a little shopping, strolling through the streets and good coffee of course. Perfect saturday!

Blazer and studded gloves

Wearing my “souvenirs” from Paris: studded gloves and a double-breasted wool-blazer. BTW this chocolate-colored vespa from the 50′s belongs to an antique store in that street. It’s great!

Close-up of the gloves. They are definitely the coolest accessory I own! Found at Le Bon Marché on the ground floor.

The rest of this outfit is rather basic. I am saving the dressing-up for tonight;-). It’s Halloween (as one can easily tell by the two giant pumpkins in the background)! Have a great night out everyone!

Blazer: Isabel Marant Étoile, striped tee: H&M, wool vest: Humanoid, old skinnies, gloves: from Le Bon Marché Paris, ballerinas: Tory Burch.

“The blazer is the new coat!”

This is an original quote from my Parisienne friend Melina who – TRUST me – knows what she’s talking about! We spotted great examples of the blazer-mania all over Paris but also elsewhere in the fashion landscape. HOW to wear it? Take inpiration from these stylish ladies:

Frida Gustavsson via Altamira

Swedish newcomer model FRIDA GUSTAVSSON during London fashion week in an old-school tweed blazer spiced up with vintage denim shorts and overknee-socks. Very brit!

Rumi Fashiontoast

Rumi from fashiontoast pairs her double-breasted vintage blazer with a short slipdress and all-black-accessories like the Alexander Wang Diego bag.

Ashley Olsen at Hogan

Ashley Olsen wears her grey wool blazer with a thick oversized scarf, cut-off black skinnies and classic pumps.

Same blazer, different outfit! I love how she can pull of a look that consists of only classic pieces like a cardigan, geek glasses and jeans and still look incredibly cool and sexy. Ashley, you’re my style goddess!

Ashley Olsen: Get the look

GET THE LOOK:

1. Wear a classic cardigan in bottle green with nothing underneath. I found this one at Topshop for £ 38.

2. Wear it with BASIC black skinny jeans like the Acne Kex Smooth and CUT THEM OFF right under your ankle! It’s the new thing. Slashed denim is sooo last season;-)!

3. Geek glasses in brown add a touch of “librarian”. These are the Ray Ban Wayfarers in Dark Havana.

4. Double-breasted blazer jacket from Miss Selfridge for £ 25. If you want to invest into a more special piece check the Vanessa Bruno Athé collection at La Garconne.

5. Finally a pair of classic pumps like the Louboutin Décoletté 100 jazz pumps will round this look.

So ditch your wool coats this fall: it’s all about the blazer! Got it;-)?
