Mes Filles

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Mes Filles

img_5126img_5292Several months ago I was grocery shopping and spotted a woman in a beautiful colorful dress. I approached her and asked her where she got it and she said “I design them.” Voila..that’s how I discovered Mes Filles.

Local designer Cristen Kauffman designs and manufactures her Sadie dress right here in Los Angeles. Her goal with Mes Filles is to celebrate the uniqueness of each and every woman. I love the simple silhouette and the beautiful prints she uses. I’m wearing the Zippy in the above picture; it’s one of my most comfortable dresses I have in my closet. To shop all the different Sadie dresses click here.

A portion of Mes Filles proceeds goes to Africa Schoolhouse, No Kid Hungry, Laura’s House, and Minnesota Freedom Fund. All charities that support women and children in need.

Hope everyone has a great day!

XOXO

Normal People

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Normal People

Normal PeopleThere were so many things I loved about Normal People (Hulu), but one thing that stood out was the beautiful elegance and style Marianne (played by Daisy Edgar-Jones) portrayed throughout the whole series. Marianne’s sophisticated refined wardrobe complimented her beautiful hair and make-up. I’ve selected some similar pieces inspired by her wardrobe below.

  1. Orange Cashmere Cable Sweater Ralph Lauren, $398 or Cotton Cable, $69.99.
  2. Smocked Silk Midi Dress Black & Other Stories, $149 and White Sneakers. Spaghetti strap dress she was wearing while sitting on the steps in Italy.
  3. Tripper Denim Overall Mother, $325. Look for less Levi’s.
  4. The printed sheath she was wearing by the pool was vintage but I found a couple similar ones. Cindy Cotton Poplin Mini Matches, $244, Reformation Max, Reformation Sable, and Reformation Cruise dress.
  5. I loved the eyelet sheath dress she was wearing in Italy. Similar options by Maje, Rebecca Taylor, and Ephemera.
  6. Silk Scalloped Navy Polka Dot Top Zimmermann, $395. Look for less by & Other Stories.
  7. David Yurman Silver Chain Saks, $230 or Silver Box Link Choker Missoma, $97. Can’t forget about Connell’s infamous chainlink necklace that even has it’s own IG account.
