If you want to know what Parisian girls dress like right now, just take a look at the October issue of Vogue Paris! It’s all about black & white, a dash of vintage Chanel and – this is new! -sporty elements like track pants, biker jackets and denim.

Tough glamour à la Parisienne: white leather perfecto, chunky vintage jewelry and a black bodysuit. Add a heeled boot et voilà!

I’m really into the idea of revamping a white denim mini (I mean really, this is something I hide deep-down in my closet!) with those Giuseppe Zanotti two-tone pumps and a little black jacket. The golden Chanel chain is obligatory. Anyone who can pull this off?

Oh I almost forgot about this one: the Peter Pan collar. It’s a mega trend here! And it starts spreading all over Europe… Love the idea of accenting a fluffy mohair sweater dress with a golden collar-shaped necklace! Now try to find one…Tss!

How to best wear the maxi length?? Turn to  style princess Olivia herself…she is THE proof that even (or especially) petite girls can rock this trend!!

Follow Olivia’s lead and style the maxi skirt/dress with a belt, leather jacket or fur and a hat for a laidback, yet polished style!

I’m also totally into the Mango dress, which Olivia is wearing in this editorial of Spanish magazine Hola:

And voila my personal version of how to do the maxi length:

Start with a  maxi dress in a cool print, like this great Sandro dress (1), which I treated myself to during Paris Fashion Week…

and style it with these accessories:

2. Maje wedge Galoche en noir.

3. Aurelie Bidermann cotton-lace ring (via net-a-porter)

4. O.P.I Texas range nail polish Guy meets Gal-veston in the new sheer version (the coolest way to wear your nail polish this summer!!)

5. Maje black suede leather jacket Exit.

6. Vintage Chanel bag in a bright color, like this Cobald blue pouch bag (via Resurrection)

Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement oublier
Et puis je fume

Déjà j’ai connu le parfum de l’amour
Un millions de roses
N’embaumeraient pas autant
Maintenant une seule fleur
Dans mes entourages
Me rend malade

Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement oublier
Et puis je fume

To style this oh so FRENCH summer look:

1. blazer + shorts from Zara,
2. tee + scarf from COS,
3. Repetto flats
4. red lipstick from M.A.C.
5. and as an extra finish add a vintage Chanel brooch (this one was found by Carola on a market in Ascona, otherwise Paris is THE place to find some little Chanel treasures!)
