Do as the French

Lately I've been trying to dress in more a timelessly chic way. It's been challenging not to fall prey to cute "in the moment" styles, but I've been doing a good job so far.

This might seem cliche, but I've been trying to take styling tips from the French. Wool, tweed, a touch of leather, dark jeans, neutrals, blacks and navy blues. A well defined brow, and a red lipstick go a long way too. A scarf is a must.

Fortunately, fall and winter make this an easy time to style like this. Come summer, I never know what to do with myself.

Also, how gorgeous is Audrey? I love her tomboy style.
