Winter Wonderland in Paris

December 1, 2017 Charlotte Lam

我總喜歡幻想著我在巴黎會穿什麼。除了一些當Parisian風格的規則(自信的、穿合身的衣服)外- how to dress like a Parisian ,我覺得最重要的,是隨性。今天起床時想著自己想穿什麼,顏色、風格,便從衣櫃中找出合心意的衣服。有時,裝扮作一個Paris女生也很有趣,就像我這邊穿的,比較女性化、優雅的打扮。

I always have a fantasy for Paris, the city of romance. And how much I am into Parisian street style. Be confident in my own skin, dress confidently and in a way that every item fits my body. My last article shared how to dress like a Parisian - so here I want to share, what I really wear when I am in Paris.

The Dress



雖則平時我比較喜愛純色的打扮,但有一種圖案印花我是可以永遠穿的... 是波點!無論是大或小,黑、白配的波點圖案也是我的最愛。這條繫腰的連衣裙是我旅遊時最愛穿的單品。單獨穿時,配上平頭芭蕾舞、高跟鞋可以有優確的女生感覺;或者配搭牛仔褲和白色運動鞋時就可以輕鬆、隨性一點。有時,我甚至把它當作為一個外套穿,層次感更豐富一點。是最容易配搭的單品呢。

The only print that I would wear forever - Classic Polka-dot. No matter it is big or little print, my favourite always go to the match of black & white. This wrap dress is one of the best travelling companion - that you can dress up with wearing it alone and pair with a flats or high heels; or dress down with a pair of denim jeans and white sneakers. Sometimes I even wear it as a light jackets as layering too. The easiest item to mix & match!

The Shoes

 

也許是受我父親的影響, 我是很喜歡穿Chelsea靴 - 尤其是黑色的。這雙靴子經典可以追溯到維多利亞時代,到現在一直也是男女常穿的款式。無論跟什麼風格的打扮 - 穿裙子、褲子也很好配。這一雙是這次旅遊時,在一家法國品牌的店買的;幾天後,男朋友也在同一家店買了一雙棕色的。很推介!

Influenced by my father, I am obsessed with Chelsea boots - especially in black. The boots dates back to the Victorian era, which are wear by mens mostly. However, it has been a trend for years. It gets well with dress, skirt, pants and almost everything. I got my pair in one of my favourite shop in Paris - and then few days later I brought my boyfriend to the same place and got a pair in brown, too. They are highly stylish and just fit perfectly with any outfits.

The Hat
 

是的,畫家貝雷帽是今個秋冬非常流行的單品。這幾年,我總是喜歡戴著海軍藍色或黑色的畫家帽。上個星期天,當我完成工作,在Le Marais附近閒走時,我走進了一個獨立的設計師品牌的聖誕市集,找到一個造頭飾的設計師,買了這個獨特顏色的帽子。不用多說,這個名為Yves Klein的藍色成為了我造型的焦點,也讓我在三度的寒冷天氣下好好保暖。

Yes, Beret hat is in trend! In these years I always wear them in navy or black (I got mine from American Appearel). When I was wandering around Le Marais on a Sunday, I found a Christmas market which gather independent designer brands - the designer she did a lot of unique headpiece. This special colour named Yves Klein named after the French artist (Read more here) - bring a French touch to my whole outfit. The best buy in my whole trip!

The shooting day is one of the rare sunny day in Paris when I was there... After the shooting, we sat down for a drink, and talked about the life after we graduated. Yes, these beautiful pictures are from (@PJ_lam), a talented Fashion Photographer based in Paris now. Follow her IG for amazing inspirations and works!

拍攝的這天是我在Paris十一天裡面難得好天氣。拍擇過後跟大學同學坐下,飲了杯紅酒,談談大家畢業後的生活。畢業後的我們沒聯絡,卻為對方的一點點成就而感到高興,住到Paris的PJ是非常有才華的Fashion Photgragraper (@PJ_lam),大家也要留意!

5 Rules to Dress Like A Parisian Woman

September 11, 2017 Charlotte Lam

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” - coco chanel

When it comes to style, French women always catch my attention. It is a world away from the 'cutey chic' Korean fitting, and just a notch more natural, more subtle than the typically pompous “American Appeal” style. So what makes the French Style so unique and ever-classy?

Here's few rules I observed...

 

每個女孩都該做到兩點:有品味並光芒四射。” - Coco Chanel
 

當再不是20出頭,我更著重要找到自己的風格。不同風格中,我最留意的一定是法國女生的天生的氣質美。彷彿她們總有最好的品味:不像韓國的可愛前衛、也不像歐美的流行時尚,卻擁有與別不同、又吸引的獨特魅力。在簡約的造型中總是擁有「不做作」的自信態度。她們知道應該投資怎樣的衣服、也知道如個配搭去突顯優點和修飾缺點。做自己,找出自己的獨特魅力,就是法國風的重點。

1: Less is Always More

It doesn’t mean you don’t have to buy anything. Rather, it is about finding the perfect items and stick with them. The cutting has to fit your body and the style should be timeless. One rule of thumb is that my daughter, or even my grand-children could still wear what's in my wardrobe, when the time comes, it will still be in-trend. It also means good investment!

 

2. Effortless = Comfort

The word “Effortless” comes to mind when I picture the Parisian woman. Effortless doesn’t only mean they look effortless, but also that they won’t wear anything that makes them uncomfortable. For example, a pair of chic flats is always the ideal daily wear. The good ones! Not the cheap ones you find on the streets. A good pair lasts forever - sophisticated, easy-to-wear, comfortable and always in style.

3. Finding the Perfect Fit

Again, I can never stress enough: Never wear anything that doesn’t fit your body! If you’re a size M, don’t go for size S or size L because they just doesn’t fit your figure, even when someone tells you otherwise! Often it is not the style that is not working, but than the size and proportion are wrong. (See our following point.) However, I do admit that sometimes slouchy clothes like an oversized boyfriend’s shirt works really well. Well, that is if you don't mind the smell..!

 

4. Work your Proportion

Many Hong Kong girls underestimated the importance of finding the proportion of fitting on your body. There is a simple rule in balancing your overall shape. For example, if you are wearing a pair of culottes, which the boxy fit carries weight, you should wear something lighter in the upper part; if you are wearing a voluminous coat, a fitted bottom will balance out the top. So, no matter what your body shape is, you can almost wear anything as long as you have this rule in mind!

5. Wear Invisible Accessories

It’s hard not to notice the beautiful and faultlessly dressed woman on the streets of Paris. The thought of their figures and faces often accompany with something more elusive and ethereal - their fragrances. Scent is such a romantic memory.

 

Take the time to find the looks that work best for you, and try to find ones that can last a lifetime. Embrace your imperfections –  even if they are scars, freckles or wrinkles. It is okay to be imperfect. Maybe that is why Parisian women are so irresistible. They are so imperfect, yet comfortably so.

Let your natural self be beautiful, let go of your insecurities, let your confidence shine - That’s how they do it!
