COOL CHIC

 

 

Far from the cat walks, easy living and cool attitude in a urban city.

All it takes is a white pair of slim jeans, a black oversized sweater, a classic black jacket and good sunglasses; no make up required.

 

 

Even the shoes are “rock”. One could imagine Charlotte Gainsbourg in that outfit .

 

There again, a simple slim jeans, a large sweater, and an oversized bag…and the stilettos. How can we live without them ?

Or “ girl” is not my name anymore !

 

Giséle Bunchen style , in off mode.

 

 

The freshness of a light mousseline dress in contrast with the leather coarse jacket. Would love to see the shoes she’s wearing !

 

 

So easy chic. Classicism with a twist. And check out the belt, brown , not black.

 

 

 

A la Middleton style.

 

 

 

Ok she’s super slim, the damn thing, but emphasized with the most shorty sweater on earth !

 

 

The best of the best : anything suits her, some much unfairness in this world !! I’ll resign !

 

 

The sandals !!!!!!!!!!!! And the clutch !

 

Seems today will be good for a shopping sprint .

If You Felt Lost Without Your Darling Costes in New York, All’s Well, He’s There Alright at NoMad Hotel

 

 

A turn of the century Art-Deco building in the heart of North of Madison, NoMad …

 

 

There’s enough to reassure you; the Big Jacques hasn’t changed a bit.

 

 

 

Rich textures, velvets and warm tones and a special attention to the soft  and slightly mysterious lighting.

 

Recognize the style ? Feel comfy ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very impressive bar compared to the cosy nook of the Chinese bar in the Hotel Costes in Paris.

 

 

 

 

Ouh !!!

It Never Hurts to Go a Little Crazy Sometimes.

 

Ask Philippe RAMETTE, he seems to know a lot on the subject !!!!

 

No, there’s definitely nothing wrong with the picture, no upside down-turn-it-around.

It IS to be like this.

I’m sure you’ve been turning it around to understand how it was made.

Super abs, Philippe !!!!

If the man had been wearing a Tarzan outfit, nothing would have seem weird. It is the fact that this small man is clad as a townhall clerk which makes it so special and stuck up.

 

 

The art of “Absurdity” ?
