I like the idea of having a few staples that can take me from day to night with just a few changes in accessories. Admittedly, I like the idea of not changing at all before going out:-). Here’s how it works:

1. Leather biker: All Saints

2. Platform sandals: Balenciaga S/S 2010

3. Sunnies: Linda Farrow Luxe

4. Silk blend tank: Kain

5. Gold plated ring: YSL

6. Pleated skirt: Pretaportobello

7. Crocodile ring: Topshop

8. Clutch: Proenza Schouler PS1

9. Nail lacquer: OPI Tasmanian devil

10. Dress: Dolce & Gabbana

11. Lace ring: Aurélie Bidermann

12. Golden eyeliner pencil: Benefit Cosmetics

For a long long time now, I have been craving the YSL arty ovale ring. It is the perfect accessory to spice up each look. Just wear alone or pile them on, like the fashionable lady above from 4th and bleeker…

…wear it in Summer time, like Marie-Therese with a cute white dress and a denim vest…

…or in Fall with dark colours and an animal print coat, like Caroline.

Now, that we know how to work this statement piece, the only problem remains how to get it, cause it seems to be sold out everywhere!!

I finally got my tickets for Paris this fall (one’s for Fashion Week!) and I can’t wait to get on that train. Since my personal fashion summer had been rather american-ized (with lots of cropped denim and casual tees), this fall will be all about the French Chic! The MAGNIFIQUE Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and her effortlessly elegant, sexy way of dressing inspired me to list a few “Paris basics”.

Clockwise from upper right:

1. Bronzing Make-up base Soleil Tan de Chanel
2. Non-sticky gloss by Kiehl`s in the color “Berry 1851”
3. A pile of metro tickets
4. Repetto Ballerinas in classic black for strolling through St. Germain all day
5. High-waist skirt with gold-tone buttons on the side by McQ
6. Large YSL-Clutch in red
7. “I love Paris”-tee from Topshop
8. Rayban Wayfarers

SERIOUSLY, can’t wait for fall!
