A style guide to dressing like a Parisian.

Have you every wondered how to get that cool, sexy or rather classic Parisian look? Well, you’re in luck because long time model and ex-Chanel muse Ines de la Fressange break its down in a cheeky little red book with sketches and streetsyle photos of her and her daughter Nine, wearing some signature Parisian Looks.

I believe ( and so does Ines) that every woman should a wardrobe on certain key pieces ( 7 for her) and the rest is a matter of accessories; shoes, bags, jewelry etc.

Think about it, you can wear one black dress many ways depending on the belt, shoes and bags that you chose to go with it.

You can check out a little video with her voice over, running on Amazon here.

You can also buy the book: Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange

Here are some of my favorite picks from this years 83rd Annual Academy Awards show held in California. I’m a huge Awards show junkie and was kind of pissed I couldnt watch it live, but I was following via AOL here and I’m so happy for Colin Firth!

The New Nudes:

Cate Blanchett, in Givenchy Haute Couture.              Michelle Williams, in Chanel Haute Couture

Mandy Moore, in Monique Lhuillier.          Halle Berry, in Marchesa.

Words can’t begin to express how much I love Cate’s dress!

The Couples:

Javier Bardem, in Gucci, with Penélope Cruz, in L’Wren Scott.             Sunrise Ruffalo with Mark Ruffalo.

Glad to see Penelope and Javier looking so happy and healthy after the birth of their son. Does anyone know who made the dress that Sunrise Rufflalo is wearing, she killed it.

Camila Alves, in Kaufman Franco, with Matthew McConaughey, in Dolce & Gabbana.     Livia Firth with Colin Firth, in Tom Ford.

Matthew has such a beautiful wife – and that dress with the long V cut doesn’t hurt either.

Christian Bale, in Gucci, with Sibi Blazic.      Annette Bening, in Naeem Khan, with Warren Beatty.

Annette and Warren still going strong, Kudos!

The Others:

Natalie Portman, in Rodarte.      Jesse Eisenberg, in Band of Outsiders.

Love the black suit from Band of Outsiders, almost looks like a Tom Ford.

Hilary Swank, in Gucci Premiere.     Hailee Steinfeld, in Marchesa.

Melissa Leo, in Marc Bouwer.             Celine Dion in Armani Prive.

I’m a bit worried for Celine, the dress  looks dashing but this Armani dress looks very constricting.

oh, but ♫my hear will go on♫

Here is every single photo from my issue of L’officiel March 2011, with Beyonce in Black face makeup. These photos have many people all worked up over her make-up. It’s just make-up used for artistic expression. I think she looks beautiful either way, dark or light skinned.

But how do you feel?

P.S. the photos were re-shot from the magazine with my camera, as I don’t have the patience to scan anything.

Are you feeling Leona’s new look from the line of clothes she created? These outfits have started a wave of rumors around the internet that the British Pop Star has had some plastic surgery on her breasts.

Perhaps, she just decided to take the babies out for a spin. And as for her outfit and her new style direction; I say change is good.

Let’s not be hypocrites, we all keep trying until we get to a style that moves away from being trendy and in fashion, until we get to something that comes naturally, that’s personal style.  She’s just having fun and evolving in the process.
