parisian chic

sweater: J. Crew; skirt: Club Monaco; shoes: Jean Michel Cazabat; clutch: Vintage via Zachary’s Smile; lipstick: NARS’s Dragon Girl

Over the summer my makeup routine kicked up its heels and decided to take it easy. Lipgloss was the most I wore on my lips and my eyes stayed relatively soft with smoky eyeliner. Now that autumn is here, I decided it was time to kick it up a notch. Welcome back a bright red lip and a liquid-lined cat eye (the latter took me three tries to get right, guess my makeup sabbatical made me a little rusty). The move to a more refined and demure face referenced Parisian chic to me and so it seemed fitting to pair it with a frenchified bird (he’s wearing a beret). I think we are ready for our close up, oui?

    • Thank you so much! I have such a soft spot for red lipstick but after months not wearing it, I’m having to remember how to not smudge it…those French ladies really have it down!

  1. That is a totally adorable top. (: Also, if I owned any makeup at all, I’d side with you on kicking it up a notch. The red lip is striking with your complexion!

  2. A wonderful outfit, i really love this sweater! It’s so cute, I could cry every day that we don’t have jcrew in germany (or at least that there would exist a european online store so that you wouldn’t have to pay customs for orders…)!
    And my make-up is also always lighter in summer, in winter I tend to wear lipstick more often ;-)

    • Thanks so much. Ever since NYC got a TopShop, I have very little to complain about in terms of missing out on European shopping although I do miss Whistles very much and paying tariffs is always a bummer!
