Less is more

French fashionista's effortless exude that je-ne-sais-quoi style. The typical Parisienne is best defined in Ines de la Fréssange's 'Parisian Chic ; A Style Guide.
This original French style is all about being sensual and not to try too hard. Low key make up, don't look at me sense of style and a splash of a bedraggled look.
A monotone look is perfect for is this style : a tuxedo jacket, a nude cashmere jumper and a silk blouse (worn as a t shirt) are basic must haves .
Décolletage is good for any body shape, draws attention and makes you look slimmer.
Skinny black pants or a classic jean are perfect basic trousers : a pencil skirt has the same effect.

Worst case, I will visit Paris in October, so IM's shop will be on my to-do list. Fingers crossed that I might find it over there ... Meanwhile, you can drool over her amazing collection here
