Zara Shows Us How to Perfect French Girl Style

When I think of french chic, I instantly think of French New Wave films from the 60's where all of the women were perfectly polished, stripes never went out of style and shift dresses were all the rage (and still are).  Considering I'm not a french woman, but do enjoy french flicks from time to time, a  few familiar themes still ring true with these women, strength and independence.  The latest lookbook from Zara has cultivated the modern french woman, translating their "girl next door", yet boyish style with rich color and clean lines.  

Zara's current collection idealizes one of fall's most popular trends, the brilliant mixing of luxe texture, rich color and hue and polished by clean lines.

Louis Vuitton Redefines Accessory Style

Nicolas Ghesquière designed his first collection for Louis Vuitton with a 60's mod vibe meets futuristic.  I kind of dig it- the bold metal statement jewelry accented by the rich luxe fabrics for fall.  I love it.  These pieces are powerful, yet obviously feminine but that's what the 60's and 70's accessories were mostly about, right? 

A major trend with accessories that I have been watching since summer is the asymmetrical earring (one dangle and the other a stud).  I'll be honest, it's not for everyone.  I tried it in high school back in the late 90's and it worked but Ghesquière really worked his magic.  From experience, the only way to make this look work is to have a killer dangle earring (and I'm not talking chandelier) and in this case this is a killer dangle.

Power Hair We Can All Rock at Work This Fall

Let's face it, your appearance at work can make or break your chances at the next promotion or advancement in your career.  If you're dressed to impress and you didn't get a chance to perfect your locks, here's a quick insight that came straight from the runway.

Diane von Furstenburg 

 Prada

 You can never go wrong with the classics.  The bun takes only minutes and means business when paired with a power suit.  

 Dolce and Gabbana

 Carolina Herrera

 Hair is texture.  Fall is all about luxe textures.  Why not add a luxe twist to your look by braiding your bun (and adding volume for a vintage, Mad Men touch).

Ralph Lauren

Fendi

The pony is a classic style that never goes out of style.  Try piecing this look together with a twist for instant bonus points from the boss.

Not everyone can rock the J.Crew "woke up like this" beautiful mess look to work and get away with it (although we wish we could).  But it's still ok for us to let our hair down.  For a feminine look, waves or curls accent our facial bone structures and look great with a collar.

Taking Styling Tips From the Boys

We've all done it at one time or another.  Our boyfriend's clothes are not ours, admit it.  Thanks to the new AYR fall collection, we can let our boyfriends wear their clothes again.

Fall has many trends, all of which are luxe mixing the most beautiful patterns and textures.  This season, AYR has brilliantly pulled off the boyfriend look by pairing denim and sneakers with amazing basics with beautifully rich wool jackets, lush slouchy sweaters, and perfect boxy jackets.  While it's so hard to find the perfect fall wardrobe amongst summer final sale leftovers and pre-fall wear that isn't quite what you're looking for, AYR has made a very grown up, simple approach to fall fashion.
