I was invited to Anne Fontaine’s boutique launch at Elements, and it definitely sparked some great ideas for the coming Fall/Winter. The Rio-born designer incorporates natural fabrics in her brand, creating a French style that smoothly combines the androgynous look with a feminine touch. Look at how this Nabella Jacket, paired with the Giannina belt, accentuates the curves even with the boyish look!
Their latest 2011 F/W collection is inspired by classic French film Un Homme et Une Femme, tying together the masculine and the feminine side within a woman. This collection presents three distinctive styles: the classic black and white strips, the elegant yet retro look, and the rock ‘n roll look with Baroque touch. This white sleeveless shirt with a black pencil skirt is great for work, and I especially love the details on the skirt, creating refinement in an understated manner.
Their Cocktail collection, on the other hand, adds a bit of the spirit from timeless film characters into every woman’s wardrobe. This signature Scarlett Bag is named after the household icon Scarlett O’Hara, whose femininity and sensuality is reflected through the designer’s interpretation. Add a bit of the movie glam to your Christmas with one of these Hollywood worthy accessories!
As for fashion accessories that are well crafted and comfortable, you can’t get any better than Cole Haan. With over a century of experience in making luxury goods combined with Nike’s sneakers technology, they provide the world’s most comfortable heels. These Morgan Air Bow Sandals are dressy yet functional, being inspired by the gentlemen’s smoking slipper, covered with luxurious velvets and quilted satin lining. You shouldn’t miss their sparkling Air Bacara Ballet from their Maria Sharapova collection. All the glossy gold glitter will make sure you shine through the crowd!
Looking for a winter bag to brighten up your day? Their Hayden Marisa Crossbody comes in a variety of bright colours, including dark amber, royal berry and prussian blue. So be it a casual stroll around the park or a Christmas ball, this will be the piece that makes a striking statement.
Planning to head over to somewhere with sunshine and beach for Christmas? Get a pair of Parisians’ favourite sandals with you to flaunt your immaculate taste! Rondini’s sandals are French classics that are only found in Saint-Tropez, and these python beauties will go well with your resort wear and your bikini.
