Goals: Styleinspo a la Garance Dore

For quite some time, I have been nursing an obsession with the style of Le Parisienne. French women have this effortless chicness: Natural makeup, red lip, full eyebrows, and a dressing style that looks like it comes from within. What is not to love? French photographer, blogger, author and illustrator (what is she not?) Garance Dore epitomizes this brand of stylishness to me.

 

For one, Garance has some killer, athletic legs and she is not afraid to show them off with short hem lines. She balances out the leggy outfits with loose-fitting oxford shirts and shift dresses for comfortable, yet oh-so-chic looks. 

 Garance sure knows how to wear a blazer. She tends to pair them with loose-fitting shorts or skater skirts, and oxford shirts for a look that is polished, but comfortable enough to wear when weaving in crowds and traffic to take her amazing photos. And though she loves her flats, she is not afraid to rock a pair of heels, even when hard at work.

 

Garance's boyfriend is Scott Schuman. Schuman is the man behind the camera behind the blog The Sartorialist, and is behind some of the most amazing street fashion photography out today. Talk about an amazing romantic and artistic partnership. Not to mention that this pair has mad style swag.

Garance has enviable coat collection. She rocks anything from a sleeveless number, to the 1980s/1990s Elaine Benes floor-length mac, to your classic camel trench. 

With all her accomplishments, Garance could easily be stuck-up. However, from watching videos on her Youtube channel, she comes as an incredibly sweet and likable person. A beautiful woman, both inside and out. If you would like to see more of Garance's work, you can stop by her blog.
