The Boyfriend Jean

August 24th, 2013

Light, dark or destroyed, the boyfriend jean is the must have denim right now. The “had it forever, borrowed from your boyfriend” blues can be dressed up with Oxfords or kept casual with a pair of Van’s, perfect for the beach. Always cuffed and rolled at the ankle I love their versatility. Worn with a classic tee or a white button up shirt and blazer, the boyfriend jean is a seasonless wardrobe essential and the perfect partner to a California Tailor shirt No. 1.

Françoise Hardy

July 5th, 2013

The unforgettable cool girl of the mid sixties, Françoise Hardy was a natural beauty. The fashionable iconic Parisian singer-songwriter went to the fashionable clubs in London, bumping into the likes of The Beatles and the Rolling stones. Her beauty and laid back style was a true inspiration in her classic, tailored basics. Rei Kawakubo is said to have been so inspired by Hardy’s song “Tous les garçons et les filles,” that it influenced the name of her line, Comme des Garçons. A real femme fatal of her time, she was effortlessly chic, a true tomboy!

I just love her classic girl next door style.

Happy Birthday to the Gucci Loafer

June 1st, 2013

The Gucci loafer has turned 60! To celebrate, the Italian label has released the 1953 collection. The famous shoe which has been a Hollywood favorite for years is now slimmer and brighter in an array of colours but still thankfully features the iconic horse bit. I’m loving the Gucci “Forever Now” icons of heritage advertising campaign. Perfectly classic!

Still made in Italy, my favorite is the canvas print flora edition. The loafer adds a tomboy touch to your wardrobe and goes with anything, from jeans and a shirt to your favorite black dress.

60 years a classic. I love them!
