à la mode

I've got a bit of a lady-style crush on Anouk Colantoni, market editor at Grazia Magazine. To me, her look is perfection built from carefully edited pieces, individual and expressive without trying too hard or being too contrived. My boyfriend thinks she looks crazy, too much going on. Style is wonderfully subjective.

I sense she might be one of those girls whose innate fashion sense appeals to our inner Carrie. The girl we want to be when we look in the mirror wondering whether we can pull off the silk dress with a casual boyfriend jumper thrown on and appear effortless and chic, or whether we will indeed, look as if too keep warm, we just put our boyfriends old jumper over our silk dress.

I love her style too, this is the first time I've seen a pic of here I think. . . I must google her now :)

She really personifies "Personal Style!" Love your pic of her too! And regarding boyfriends' view of fashion... I mean, really, what do they know? They think a plaid button down is "dressing up" for dinner *lol*

Yep, whenever I see style like this I want to emmulate it. I avoid actually attempting style like the top picture, even though I'm super envious; but whenever I attempt style like the second one it never really works in my favour either... hmm.
