Buzzing Paris Street
Tip 1 -
Accessorise - Keep your wardrobe MINIMAL ( even though whn i frst read this i was like WHAT r u kidding me :P )..But seriously, a good investment of a nice Pair of SHOE and HANDBAG is all what it takes to be chick n stylish. oh and SMILE :). You can carry off anything with a good smile :)
Tip 2 -
Never ever neglect your-self.And with this i totally agree.( PS- yesterday only i had my Spa session n had amazing time in getting my self pampered hehe ). On a serious note- Don't get stuck in a style you wore in your 30's.Else u will age instantly.For those above 50's plz plz steer clear yourself of FUR..( ahem ahem i hope any one of the PAGE-3 fakes r reading this..)
Tip 3 -
Stock yourself ( "belt it!!") with BLAZER ( Burberry , if possible (don i wish dat!!!*sigh*-otherwise any nice fitted trench coat would DO), NAVY sweater ( looks more sophisticated than plain black-hmm didnt know dat) and TANK TOP ( " a classy Supporting act")
PS- Navy blue sweaters looks superb on GUY's as well.Breaks the monotony of basic Blacks and Grey's.
Tip 4 -
Not to forget LBD's - Little black Dress ( which reminds me i have NONE, cuz sum1 has to have a body to fit into one and that sum1 has to first start gymming..hmmmm :( :( ) As perfectly said, Its not an item of clothing , its a CONCEPT.
The "Perfect" jeans( which i have to find YET)."like SALT,they go with EVERYTHING.
And Finally, a LEATHER JACKET.
Tip 5 -
Mix styles and NEVER coordinate.Reject to much of BLING.Explore new labels and worship NO ONE.Look for a good cheaper alternative .
Tip 6 -
Try venturing into the Mens-wear department-Its usually very good.(and also nowadays we are seeing this new Boyfriend jeans,shirt treandz anyways, which i think is suppa cool)
Tip 7 -
Wear your Style-.Their are a lot of women ( and your's truly aswell :( ) who think it's not possible to go without high heels.Well, nobody cares that much.Just wear your style and be happy :)
Well, that's all folks.I hope ya all like my compilations of things above and for more better What and What not to wear - i would recommend Author INES DE LA FRESSANGE's ( she is one of French SUPERMODEL turned DESIGNER and now author)first book in English version - PARISIAN CHIC.( I know after reading this, m surely going to hunt down this baby)
