Being French
I still laugh to this day about a comment that a coworker once made to me about being a French woman trapped in an American body. So needless to say, I’m totally loving Joanna‘s new year’s resolution to dress like a French woman. In her quest to master French fashion she interviewed the wonderfully stylish Garance Doré (the female French Sartorialist, if you will). Get the full low down right here – it will be sure to make you smile (and feel a bit more French)! {image by/via Garance Doré}
note: I know posts have been light lately, but starting at 10am today you can see what’s been keeping me extra busy over on design*sponge!

lovely illustration. I tried to accomplish that last year {and sort of succeeded…I guess, at least by the end of the year I did}. This year, its the year of the English Woman for me. I think their style is absolutly underrated.

I think I’d make an alright French gal. I like strips and solids. Done and done.
