Rule number 4: trust your basics!





French fashion is all around key pieces that you keep in your wardrobe at any time: first, the trench coat, next the top breton (blue stripy top that everybody recognises as being french!), the repetto flat pumps because they make your feet tiny and elegant (if that is ever possible) and they are very good quality, then a good leather bag, preferably a hit bag, a good pair of stilettos (black), a silk scarf (I am thinking of Hermes scarves). I think you get now that french style is all about investment, we do not have Penneys or Dunnes or those cheap supermarket but rather expensive high street fashion brands such as Kookai, Zara, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Gerard Darel (they have just launched a bag called Dublin by the way, amazing, I want it, cf pic above!) and they are the best for those basic items I was talking about. Have a look at their website to give you an idea!!!!
