French New Wave

I adore channeling the piled high hair and 60's cat eye makeup of French New Wave star, Anna Karina, along with the playfulness of modern French actress, Audrey Tautou.  Friday evening brought gorgeous weather to my corner of the world, so I couldn't wait to play in the park and pretend to traipse through a Godard film or Amelie.  There's something effortlessly carefree and chic about certain French film screen icons.  These women don't seem to be weighed down with glossed perfection--they're too busy embracing their best assets and having fun! I completely agree with the post about American versus French style on the HIP Paris blog here.  There's more to life than perfect curls and matching accessories!
