The Look: Kitsune's Fall '14 Lookbook
Ugh, to be a French girl.... The perfectly askew beret. The translucent tights. The innocent loafers. I'll be trying to fake it as a Frenchie today with this
tres francaise
photo from Kitsune's fall '14 lookbook as my inspiration. Now all I need is the "hmmph" attitude all the French girls have.
The Face: Lancome Absolue Oleo Serum
I know this serum is expensive, but it really does work wonders. Three dabs of the shimmering stuff on my face in the morning makes me look less "I'm-cutting-caffeine-out" and more "I'm-queen-of-the-world." As a rule, I don't believe in magic creams, but I think that rule might have to be broken for this serum because it creates a luminous glow in seconds. That
has
to be magic.

The Inspiration: Olympia by Edouard Manet
The ultimate French girl to me is Victorine Meurent, model to Edouard Manet and painter in her own right. I've spent many hours trying to attain the devil-may-care attitude of Victorine in Manet's
Olympia,
that brazen stare, the ability to rock a flower in my hair and still look cool... I'm going to keep trying.

Fall in love again with Francoise Hardy's toe-tapping tune while images of Sam and Suzy from
Moonrise Kingdom
dance through your imagination.
