Some of my favourite stylings:

Btw, today is the start of the ventes privees here in Paris. I’m gonna check out IRO and Sandro later today for some good bargains on their current summer collection. I am gonna be so broke at the end of this week…

Pics via the Sartorialist, Garance Dore and TFS.

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!

As always she was incredibly sweet and stylish with her cropped coat and her Chloe lace-up booties – no wonder the Facehunter wanted to take a pic of her..

So I followed Garance a bit, while she was searching a new motive…

…which she found with the incredibly gorgeous Miroslava Duma in a total Chloe look…

…so I tried myself with the same motiv..

Hmm, guess whose picture is gonna be better…;)?!

Voila, my vision of the perfect outfit for chilly days!

Alexa Chung is one of our favourite it-girls and always a source of inspiration when it comes to quirky and creative dressing. Now, thanks to Vogue UK, we have the possibility to follow Alexa’s style choices every day for a whole month. Unfortunatelly, the quality of the pics is not the best, yet they offer us a little glimpse into Alexa’s daily fashion choices. We wanna see more of that!

It’s one week until Valentine’s and here are some of the best picks for our all time favourite holiday:

1.+2.: If you wanna go truely luxe for Valentine’s don’t miss out on Miu Miu’s capsule collection for this special occasion. I love the little embalished patent-leather pochette and the plain tee with puffy heart-shaped sleeves.

3. (Diptyque) Red special edition candle. Its vanilla/ rooibos fragrance is just delicious, plus it helps a good cause!

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Electro Pop cosmetic case. Seen at MyTheresa.

5. If you wanna go sweet on Valentine’s , there is no way around some Laduree macaroons. Get them in this most girly gift box by Yazbukey.

6. Carlota’s heart-shaped biscuits. Seen at Colette Paris.

Finally, if you’re looking for a more personal and creative gesture for Valentine’s day, get inspired by this super cute Garance Dore story!!

I LOVE this picture of all time favourite blogger Garance Dore for Interview Magazine! Its just the right mix of confidence, sexieness and elegance…Garance definitely knows how to strike a pose! Check out the whole story here.

Garance Doré is one of our all time favourite bloggers!  She has an incredible talent to take pictures of girls, which underline their inner beauty. And Garance has a great sense of humour. We LOVE her stories about her newest style addictions, little fashion emergencies and all the other girl talk. So it has become one of our favourite daily routines, to check her blog in the morning! Garance has been doing some great work and has been rewarded for that: recently, she launched a limited collection of T-shirts with the GAP (which sadly sold out immediately) and is now working very closely with French Vogue (could there be a better match?) to do some behind the scenes coverage.

Taking our high appreciation for Garance’s work, you can certainly imagine that we had the most surreal moment ever, when we met her and the Sartorialist in the Metro on the way to the Chloe Show, during Fashion Week. Garance was stunning in person! So natural, and sweet and very chic wearing her short- sleeved Max Mara coat. So we talked to her – actually Garance did most of the talking, we were so taken by her charisma that we could merely sit there and listen. We were even too excited to ask for a picture (sooo stupid of us!!).

Well, I promise I stop obsessing now…but let me still show you some of my very favourite pictures by Garance…

Garance, keep on inspiring us every day! We love you!

Les Coupines

We will be back in a few days with lots of great impressions and stories to share! So stay tuned!

Xoxo Les Coupines

The first impressions of the new Alexander Wang collection for Spring 2010 really surprised me: here I had  expected yet another grunge inspired collection with lots of black leather and sexy denim. However, Alex turned to a more sporty theme, without compromising his usual sexiness, though. Inspired by his collaboration with the GAP earlier this year, he stayed true to the all-American sportswear spirit. He used lots of khaki and grey, red and white rugby stripes and brown leather, all spiced up with some pretty hot leopard peep toe booties. There was one particular elemenent of his collection, which immediately caught my attention: aviator inspired pieces like an aviator cap, a great jacket and little applications all in caramel-brown leather.

I always had a thing for the aviator look, so I started thinking of how to work the look for the upcoming season already…

The first thing coming to my mind was this great streetstyle shoot by Garance . I love it how the Swedish girl combines the black aviator cap, with a dark green bomber jacket and a cozy scarf to create a perfect autumn version of the look.

I also found some other great pieces in true aviator spirit:

1. Acne leather jacket Rita
2. Round sunglasses by Dries van Noten and Linda Farrow
3. Aviator cap by Stetson via Hutshopping

Plus, already start looking for great aviator inspired pieces in vintage stores and flea markets, so you will be ready to rock the Wang Look next spring!

Saturday, 5th September, 4:30 p.m. at Colette Paris.

Crowds of young Parisians and international followers of the Sartorialist are queuing outside the famous concept store to get their copy of THE BOOK signed by Scott Schuman himself. It is almost impossible to enter the store and one could easily assume that some popstar came down to shake hands and give autographs. And there, in the middle of flashing cameras, excited fans, the hardworking Colette-staff and next to a very busy Scott, she sits shining and smiling gracefully: GARANCE DORÉ.

I had never met her before and believe me: she looks nice on pictures but she is absolutely STUNNING in reality! In a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a bandage mini-skirt and matching booties she looked effortlessly chic and cool without screaming for attention. Apart from being one of the most successful and influential fashion bloggers herself, Garance definitely has First-Lady-qualities!

I am really waiting for Garances own book to be launched soon! And please don’t make it a limited edition;-)!
