Bonjour mon amies,
It's been a while my fellow fashion astronauts. And today I'd like to discuss a trend that's got me flying high, maybe even to the moon. What's gotten me so excited? FRENCH KISS. That's right the French are at it again. Surprised? I hope the answer to that is no. The french are always four or five steps ahead of us in the fashion department, sad but true! I had the grand pleasure of visiting France two years ago and the fashion was oh-so mind blowing. My friends all mocked the trend of shorts with tights underneath but low and behold what are the Hollywood hotties sporting this month? Oh that's right, opaque tights and leather shorts.
Anyways, I digress. Let's talk about this fabulously french trend I've spotted in all my favorite stores in the mist of all the after Christmas deals. We're calling it "French Kiss." A good enough name for me, if a little provocative for my mothers taste.
Let's start with the colors of this trend: Black, white, red and violet purples
Next I give you the patterns: STRIPES, which shouldn't come as a surprise. Remember when you were little and to you a french man would be wearing black pants with a long sleeved striped black and white shirt? Okay, so perhaps that's leaning on the mime side but stripes are truly the pattern to look for.
Shapes: Higher waisted pants, fitted tucked in tops, short flouncy skirts and dresses.
Skin's out? Think cardigans with this trend. Very much an Audrey Hepburn meets Mrs. Brady trend. Dark colored cardis with large flowered applique seems to be a big hit with this particular trend.
The HATS have it! Vintage bowlers and knit berets, very passe, I know but still very in.
Give your feet a break: Though I will say that the daring French women wear the highest of all heels it's safe to say that with all the walking they do they're not constantly in heels so give your feet a break and go for flats. Here's a trick, pick up a pair of those cute little fast flats from Target and slide your heels into your purse or carry them with you. When you hit your destination do a quick change and watch your girls drool with envy as they complain about their feet. Fast flats easily slide into your purse or clutch, they're made to fold and get small. You can easily slide back into the flats when you get into the cab. Your feet will thank you. And who says there's anything wrong with flats? A cute flat with detailing in a splashy color is always in.
French Kissing is definitely in, your closet and your boyfriend will thank you for following this particular tidbit of advice.
Au revoir mon petite amies!
