Trend Alert: Parisian Cool Girl Chic
January 7th, 2010
There’s just something about French women - they’re put together, sexy, and completely cool. Their brand of effortless style - that je ne sais quoi - is a mix of sharp silhouettes, subtle detailing, and killer accessories. But how do you get Parisian cool girl chic right? The key is to pair quality pieces with interesting details. Nothing that screams "look at me," but pieces that grow more fascinating on closer inspection. Case in point? These leather booties, which feature an eye-catching set of hardware. Or this double breasted mohair coat, highlighted with a deeply gorgeous ombre coloring.

I love the pops of color and texture in this combination. I personally think I would look fat in the harem pants…..but I wish could wear them.

I have to admit, I was hesitant about harem pants as well, but they can be surprisingly flattering when paired with the right items.
Here’s another concept for how to wear harem pants:

I LOVE EVERYTHING!–Mkay, maybe not the H-pants so much –I especially like the way you played with color. The Ombre Horizon coat by J.Crew is now #1 on my wish list!

Leather Tassle Frame Bag for $110.48 is good deal
Is this bag is large enough to store larger objects like iPad and laptops?
