whitesnake revival

can you guess what this is? we have to admit that when this jean, which we've affectionately nicknamed the white snake, arrived we were a little concerned with the 80s factor. are they too costumey? what were the girls behind current/elliott thinking when they came up with this one? and then we tried them on and realized they're actually quite cute. however, we recommend not wearing them skin tight. just throw on a cute cardigan and a wrap, and you're good to go!

totally geek to totally chic

what's a dorky french girl to do? that's the question we recently asked ourselves when faced with the challenge of styling a lovely little A.P.C. dress that just landed on our floor. the color is amazing, but the slightly oversized-shifty thing doesn't fly with everyone (even though we promise oversized dressing can actually make you look smaller than wearing something too fitted). so here's a look at the dress before:

by itself the little dress is no show-stopper, but with a little imagination and inspiration from the grandma inside all of us, it can go from totally geek to totally (grandma-dorky-french-girl) chic! look at it here paired with an oversized, tweedy A.P.C. cardigan, a floral epice scarf and jewelry from our new line alkemie. now you're ready to stroll the rue saint-honore in style...
