It's Bastille Day today, France's version of July 4th. America and the land of the chic have long been friends, the statue of liberty was a gift to us from them, so if the French are celebrating, so are we! Being French is all about being stylish, so in celebration of Bastille day, here's a few of my all time favourite French fashion icons, new and old. First up is Charlotte Casiraghi, Princess of Monaco and grand-daughter of Grace Kelley, then the one and only Coco Chanel, no explanation needed! I had to include super ex-editor of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld and finally the first french fashion icon, the over extravagant Marie Antoinette.
As every fashion maven already knows, this week reigns Paris Couture! The show everyone has been anticipating was Raf Simons' first show as John Galliano's replacement at Christian Dior. His Avante Garde design background fused with Dior's own brand history created a collection so mid-century Dior Couture yet so modern! The best part of the show however had to be the ceiling to floor panels of flowers - one of Christian Dior's hugest obsessions. Reminds us to stop and smell the roses.
For those of you out there who seem to break their sunglasses every year regardless of their price, Silhouette is the range for you!

What's Brazil without Carmen Miranda, my fave celeb and current stye icon is the end all be all of Brazilian glamour. She was talented, beautiful and had some serious fashion moments.. I've always been known for a door knocker earring and a statement neclace but Carmen was the first to bring this stle to life! Known for her roles in Copacabana, Doll Face and The Gang's All Here this bombshell earned her spot as Hollywood royalty.
From 'Wedding Crashers' to 'Midnight in Paris' Owen Wilson is an endless pool of talent. His distinct nose and one of a kind chuckle are only part of why we love him.
