A Tomboy in the City

March 26, 2015

Dans mes rêves, je n’ai pas un style bien précis, mais plusieurs. Dans la vraie vie parfois, je suis un TOMBOY.

Lors d’une de mes dernières sessions shopping à New York (oui, il y en a plusieurs mais jamais trop…), je suis tombée en admiration pour ce pull graphique de chez Banana Republic. Toute de suite attirée par la signification du style Tomboy, qui pourtant ne définit pas mon style quotidien plutôt chic basique, je me suis tout de suite amusée à imaginer comment le porter. Vous le savez, j’adore les tons pastels et le rose… Quant au jean, je suis en recherche active de la bonne coupe d’un blue jean depuis de longs mois (croyez-moi, j’en ai visité des cabines d’essayage. J’ai tout d’abord craqué pour mon jean distressed couleur crème qui vous a beaucoup plus), et celui-là, je l’ai trouvé aussi chez Banana Republic. Non, ce billet n’est pas sponsorisé, je suis juste chanceuse d’avoir trouvé la bonne combinaison dans une seule cabine d’essayage.

In my dreams, I am not defined by a single style, but all of them. And sometimes in real life, I’m a TOMBOY.

Among one of my latest shopping sessions in New York (yes, there are plenty of them but never too many…), I was immediately charmed by this graphic sweater from Banana Republic. Attracted by the definition of the Tomboy style, even though my daily style can be better described as basic-chic, I instantly imagined how to style this Tomboy piece. As you already know, I am very fond of pastels and pink… As for the jeans, I have been in a deep and active hunt for the perfect blue jean cut. It’s been months and believe me when I tell you that I have visited a ton of fitting rooms since then. First, I found this perfect pair of ripped cream jeans that you seem to love. And recently, I encountered those petite fitted blue jeans at Banana Republic. I promise this is not a sponsored post, I was just lucky enough that day to only visit one dressing room for a whole look.

Saying Goodbye to Winter in NY – Personal Style blog

March 17, 2015

Il y a des jours où on se surprend soi-même. Certaines choses qu’on ne se voyait jamais faire, dire ou encore porter. La fourrure, même si fausse dans mon cas, est une pièce qui ne me serait jamais venue à l’esprit. Je me souviens de ma grand mère qui chérissait son manteau en fourrure. Chaque hiver, elle le sortait joyeusement et le portait avec une certaine fierté. Cette fourrure, vraie ou non, je ne l’ai jamais su et je ne l’aimais pas vraiment ce manteau ; certes il était doux mais je détestais voir la frêle silhouette de ma grand-mère disparaître sous sa couche épaisse.

There are days when you surprise yourself. Some things you thought you could never do, say or wear. Fur, even if it is faux, is among the fabric I would have never imagined wearing. I remember how my grandma loved her fur coat (real or not, I will never know). Every winter, she would joyfully take it out of her closet (actually mine as she stored it in my bedroom), and wear it with pride. As soft as it was, I hated the way my grand mother’s delicate silhouette would disappear underneath it.

Shades of Neutral – OOTD New York – Fashionblog

March 2, 2015

La neige, la neige, la neige. On dirait bien qu’elle ne s’arrêtera jamais de visiter New York cette année.

Il y a bien longtemps depuis le dernier article style perso (l’été dernier pour préciser), alors j’ai eu envie de vous montrer une tenue d’hiver aux couleurs neutres. La neige s’est invitée et a donné à ces photos un effet magique. Cette neige a bien tenté de me voler la vedette. Un moment encore plus spécial car c’est le premier shooting dans ma jolie rue de l’Upper West Side de Manhattan. Pratique pour une petite pose avant d’aller se lover dans un coffee shop tout cozy.

Snow, snow, snow. It seems like this Winter is dragging and there is always more snow falling on NYC.

It has been a while since my last outfit post (since last Summer to be precise) so I thought I would share another one of my OOTD or outfit of the day with you. The snow made this photo shoot special and a tiny bit magical. I actually think the snow stole the show here. It was easy enough as we took these pictures on my little Upper West Side Street in Manhattan before heading to a warm and cozy coffee shop.

Winter Fashion Inspo: Dress as a New Yorker

NYC Winter On The Streets

Sweater: ChicWish / Jeans: AG Jeans / Boots: Stuart Weitzman / Bag: Michael Kors / Beanie: H&M

Qui dit changement de saison, dit changement de garde robe. Avec l’arrivée des premiers jours frileux à New York et l’approche des fêtes de fin d’année, je n’ai qu’une envie: renouveler (ou plutôt ajouter) ma garde robe avec des vêtements aux couleurs neutres et aux matières chaudes. Et comme le mois décembre rime avec les fêtes, pourquoi ne pas y incorporer quelques pièces dorées et pailletées (ça suit tellement bien avec la neige aussi).

What keeps me excited with the beginning of the colder months in New York, is the good excuse it gives me to go shopping. Every year, the eternal comment bursts out of my mouth in front of my wardrobe : “I have nothing to wear, I really need to go shopping!” (ok each season I say that). I love Winter clothes because you see, you have to layer a lot to keep warm and suddenly indulging investing in a cashmere piece is a necessity.
