Timeless Style
In honor of the late Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and her gorgeous husband John John. Their style was pure, classic American. Minimal and timeless, they were true American Royalty.

I wish I had a Holiday Ball to wear this at
This dress is a Macabre dream, can you imagine it with lots of vintage sparkles?
I can only dream to wear this to a lovely dinner and then the Opera; bow in hair and all.

Reality Bites
The plethora of plaid, chunky Dr. Martens, and floral dresses. It was the mid 90s and life was grunge good. After watching this old favorite and seeing waify Wynonna in a crochet cream dress and Mary Janes, I yearn for the era past. Lucky for me, it's all back and with a vengeance.

DIY - Perfect Summer Jean Shorts
Summer is finally here, rejoice! The air is starting to feel heavier, I love the smell of summer that wafts thick though my open window.
So what’s the perfect summer must have for all angelic, flowing tops? Jean shorts of course! As you may have figured out, I have a slight obsession with them this summer.
This is the simplest DIY and you save a bunch of money. Don’t get conned by the allure of easy Forever 21, just follow these 5 steps.
1. Go to your nearest thrift store. Buy a cheap pair of denim jeans. They can be distressed, plain wash, or even 80s. Don’t worry about the style of the pant, just make sure they fit you how you are comfortable at your waste and butt. (personally, I go up a size so that they are comfortable and slightly looser.
2. Draw a line on your thigh with pen a couple inches below where you want them to end. Cut them straight across the line. Remember you can always cut more off and they will get shorter when they fray up.
TIP: Cut the back of the leg a bit longer than the front, this is creates a slimming illusion.
(If you often cut your own clothes it’s worth it to invest in a $10 pair of fabric scissors, they cut much better)
3. Try them to make sure you like the length. If not then carefully re-cut. If you like them, cut an inch (or so) long slit on each outer seams.
4. Now make them your own:

4. Now make them your own:
Distress them by cutting little holes where you want and creating mini frays
Rub/scrape the side of your scissors horizontally against the weave of the jean. Tufts of jean will come off and the white fabric will become exposed for the ultimate worn in beach shorts
Rip the pocket open and put studs for a rocker look
There you go! The perfect on-the-go summer shorts!

The Art of Being French
While browsing through the lovely blog by streetstyle photographer Garance Doré, I stumbled upon an interview she gave about being a French Woman. I had to share it since there is nothing I love more than the elegance and Je ne sais quoi that French women posses. With their impeccable use of menswear, clean lines, and bed head hair, French women always look so chic yet so carefree. Their layered outfits seem thrown on without effort but always perfect. It's that ease of dressing that makes them so stylish.
My favorite French blogs-
Being a coquette or wearing menswear in that "oh la la" sexy way, French women embody effortless elegance and unstoppable femininity.
