On the Street....Summer in the City, Paris
What a great way to look this summer: so simple and yet so refined.
I love that her shorts aren't too short and that her top isn't too tight. Nothing screams in this look and yet the presentation is very strong.
This is a great example of elegance successfully achieved through understatement and flawless execution.

her bag is perfection.
Beautiful
agree! very laid-back look. the colours make it stylish as well.
It's perfect.
Love the shirt...reminded me of Alexander Wang for some reason.
loooooooooove her top!
Such a pretty colour!

Lovely!
I love the neutral tone of her blouse and the subtle details of her belt, shoes, and bracelets.
Tres belle!

So effortless, so chic, so Paris. I'm going to copy it!
Really liked... chic and easy-going... just another Monday
I like the entire outfit...it is so simple and cool...Nice attire for summer...^_^
I like this ensemble - very warm weather appropriate. That bag is great, too. Any idea who makes it?
100 % agree with You, Mr. Schuman :)
Tres chic. Love the bag especially!
Such a polished and thoughtful look.

timeless~
Great look!
There's nothing about this look I don't LOVE. Does anybody know which bag is it and where is the top from?
Love the color of the blouse!

very fresh!
:)
Ah, perfecta!
i love, love, love that shirt.
and the sleeves... I LOVE the sleeves...
thankx for the great pic!
Totally admit.The appearance has class.I appreaciate as well the nude color, which fits to her style and teint and to complete the color concept in her outfit.
very chic look...she's adorable
It's the YSL Downtown bag I think.
Love her eye.
Nice outfit. Just got back from holiday in Corsica and am desperately trying to channel a bit of French chic!
I love her style. Casual elegance wearing with real naturality. I like the orange-red stones on her bracelet "freshing up" the colors of the outfit.
i love her hair! in her outfit she's very sophisticated and modern!
very european! i definitely love her!
Utterly beautiful but somehow I think I would manage to look dowdy if I dressed like this. Maybe being tall and tanned makes virtually anything look beautiful!
completely agree with you! a real inspiration.
:-)
this is style.
I saw your book the other day selling in a bookshop at a train station , it's so fabulous !!!! I couldn't help buying one !!! I love the fashion through your eyes . maybe not all the looks are the trendiest style at the moment , but definetly every look is a unique soul

I´m the designer of this blouse!Love the way she is wearing it!It´s a real pleasure seeing my garments in your blog because I follow it everyday day and it inspires me a lot!
-M-
I love this look. What's the current wisdom on wearing something like this to the office? I am much older than this woman (and am fact am the oldest in an office of 23-year-olds) and would wear knee length shorts, yet I hesitate. I could carry it off but I don't want to set off any alarm bells with management. Thoughts?
I love this kind of tops! need one like this.
Love her look, the colours are lovely...moderation is the key!
I like the fact that it's a very relaxed look, but still looks sophisticated. Love the bag as well.

I normally hate gladiators because they are soooo unflattering, but OH! she can wear them! The whole outfit is beautiful - soft silk and a soft silhouette; perfect for a hot day!
You took the words right out of my mouth-- Effortlessly chic!
I love this blouse!!!And the designer too!!it's great seeing her work on your blog.
I couldn't agree more. In a world full of skimpy dresses and tight skirts and so on...it's so nice to see a young woman who has chosen carefree elegance. Cheers!
like!like!like!I will definitely lounge that look!
Superb!
The top is Zara. I have it. She looks great.
look, i won a signed copy of your book:
http://grapefruitprincess.blogspot.com/2010/07/satorialist-i-won-his-signed-book-yay.html
:o) LOVE it!
AMEI O LOOK !
FICOU MTO BOM..
BEIJOS.
She does look effortless and elegant.
love it. very nice
Lovely.
I have that shirt, ist from Zara, and i love it, but it really isnt that summery, you sweat a lot wearing it, because of the type of cloth used.
I love the colors and her smile definitely adds to this picture.
Wow! If only I could arrange to be so elegant here in the US in the summer (in Los Angeles, no less!).
I wanted to send you a guest post - as I ran into two fantastically dressed gentlemen in Seattle (as they commented, of all places (so REI!). . we joked that they were so "The Sartorialist!) - and they knew exactly what we were speaking of.
Great picture!
adoooore the simplicity
Completely perfect.
Incredible!! This *is* just sooo chic, simple and elegant. Love it!
This is a look for any summer!
any idea who makes the sandals? they are to die for!!
Very fluid & natural. Love it
She looks amazing and so comfortable too! love it! <3

wow!
she's gorgeous!!

The shirt is from Zara.
I especially love her smile ...and shorts "lol" So sweet!
elegance.... it gets the 'hello dolly' song stuck in my head.
i like that elegance has so many different languages - defined by the one who possesses it and desires it (and enjoys it).
hers is a confident and clean elegance. i wouldn't even say simple - because of her details.
and i hope i never have to see that fantastic putty color disappear!
worldrunway.blogspot.com
Love her!!! Perfect
All the neutral tones look so great against her skin.
I LOVE this. I knew it even before the picture was loaded, when i read, oh, it's something taken in Paris- my dream city...
But this outfit tells everything. In my opinion people who live in France are stylish and always look glamorous.
Again and again- love this outfit :)
This woman's easy smile just adds to the casual elegance of this outfit. She looks comfortable, not only in the clothing but also her own skin - she glows.
What a great show of modesty that is both cool and beautiful without looking stuffy. I'm glad you commented about the length of the shorts and the fit of the top. Too many women show too much these days...
She looks so fresh and defines a beautiful androgyny.
Her outfit seems so effortless that it brings that timeless effect to it, beautiful.
If I saw her on the street I would definitely like a word with her.
It's because everything fits her properly. The proportions are perfect.
I just returned from Paris last week and they almost had to force me on the plane.. I left my heart there, but returned with a fabulously chic Longchamp bag...Loving this outfit!
Fabulous summer lady! perfect ensemble and the colors are sublime!
Kisses

I love the top and shorts. The length of the shorts is perfect. I also like how she is a little tanned. Gladiator sandals that match the colour of the belt. The silver details of the buckle, the bracelets and the bag zip are great. She isnt' trying too hard.
Very refined and yet simple! Love this look!
So chic. Not only does she look great for summer but her facial expression shows that she feels great in her outfit. This photo is perfection.
and the fact that she looks happy and natural definitely helps. x
fantastic!!
Love the Shirt & the bag ! :)
great simple style!!!
http://trappedinhercloset.blogspot.com/
Wonderful colors. Black in summer can really add clarity to the palette. She is stunningly beautiful, too.
I agree that her look is extremely elegant, but doubt that anyone 10 kgs heavier could pull it off.
perfection. Well edited, LOVE femme neutrals and navy, her posture and smile are so sweet.
I looked everywhere, including the exif field data on this picture, but can't find what gear you used to shoot this. Care to share?
Thanks!
Great look! Love her style!!
http://foursistersfourstyles.blogspot.com/
this has got to be one of my faves! the look is casual, understated and effortless chic. beautiful!
http://style-haus.blogspot.com/
wonderful!
http://fleur-de-lisbym.blogspot.com/
totally agreed!!
I am a firm believer that the simplest and most honest efforts produce the most tasteful and refined results. Dressing to impress others is always hit or miss. Dressing to impress yourself - you always look (and feel!) damn good.
PERFECT! And she also seems nice :)
www.thebeautylover.blogspot.com
Love everything about her look.
Love this. Worth "copying" for sure ;)
so refined and her smile really makes this outfit just glow!
http://chaoticdesolation.blogspot.com
gorgeous (:
http://faialofa.blogspot.com
Love the colours
what a great colour story - nude is just amazing in the summer!!!!
I totally love longer length shorts and they are impossible to find great fitting ones!
please say no to short shorts!

http://sweetlife-toronto.blogspot.com
Her entire look is great. It can be hard sometimes to remain elegant in the summer heat.
http://carlandtheprepster.blogspot.com/
Who makes this BAG??? Does anyone know? I have to have it.
Wow! Amaizing look!
Very chic. I love the shade of her shirt.
i love a lightweight long sleeve shirt in summer! such a contrast to all the girls showing as much skin as possible
This is a real classic combination scheme with navy blue and dusty pink! The loose cut is great, effortlessly sexy!
Really like the the colour combination here, very subtle, understated, and romantic. I think what's great about this ensemble is the fact that it's comfortable and chic at the same time. Having accomplished that really allows one to be not too concious about their appearance and gives way for their personality or charm to shine through. This ensemble is quite Celine-ish too don't you think? :)
Everything is pulled together nicely...understated...yet it exudes elegance!...Aviator sunglasses would top this look nicely.
i love the top , not so crazy about the shoes . the shorts are very nice too .
artsysunday.blogspot.com
Easily one of the best summer looks so far.
A loose shirt like that is not only practical, but unbelievably sexy!
wow I love the rouging on the shirt, great color too, wheres it from.
LOVE the bag!! Anybody an idea where it is from??
I couldn't agree with you more! Totally chic, elegant and timeless -- very inspiring!
(BTW, in responce to Anonymous above who asked, I believe her bag is YSL.)
Oh, I love this too. Her shorts appear a navy ink colour to me which I think is not used enough in fashion but looks much better than black for many outfits. That dark beige of the belt and roman sandals go perfectly with ink and the dirty peachy pink of the shirt. And yes, the bag is gorgeous.
Casual yet refined.
a chic look! I agree with your statements.
Couldn't agree more.
I love her all items & style.
I love the way she matches her surroundings (apart from the red bit on the left which jars atrociously).

Beautiful!

I know, I know it's from ZARA WOMAN!!I know the girl who design it and its great seeing her job here!love you -M-
Oh Paris, see you next week!
She looks fantastic and so fresh !

-the diary of a belgian stylist-
Lovely clothes on a lovely girl.
I think not shorts at the office. Just change the shorts for a straight skirt.
Copying Anna Wintour's words in "The september issue"(Dir. R.J.Cutler):It's wearable.
Thanks.
my style~
Congratulations!
beautiful!
the bracelet with the red dots creates such a perfect balance. just imagine the outfit without it.
and the shoes. wow.
I like it too.
Stunning! The bright pink/red on her bracelet is the perfect subtle pop of color.

Leggy girl buys knee length shorts and voila, sexy and chic.
Classy and classic.
breathtakingly beautiful
Love the color!
This shirt is from Zara....
her look is simply flawless ;)
i LOVE this look.. i completely agree - elegance at its best

fyi...those sandals are from GAP. they were part of pierre hardy's designer editions 2 or 3 summers ago (and i am wearing them as we speak...er...type) :-)
love the bag so much.
http://girl-and-goatherd.blogspot.com/
this look is perfection. xoxo.
yes, great look. I like this bag
Refined elegance is right! The shirt fits so well!
the perfect silk shirt!
This is how I look in my daydreams!
She looks so fresh and relaxed on a summer day! I love her entire outfit! From the top down to the sandals. J'adore!
ahhh this is so beautiful! modern and vintage and feminine with a mathematical quality. beautiful!
Absolutely perfect...the saddle shoes and sock are a lovely touch!

I like the tan belt.
It would be so helpful if you could note what some of your subjects are wearing (what labels) that way an appreciative viewer can try the look out himself/herself.
I know your photos are not about the labels or the brands, and that the sartorialism is often derived more so from the way in which the subject wears their clothes as opposed to being about the actual labels, but I know that I often find pieces that I would love to own on your subjects. It would be nice to be able to find them.
Just noticed that her belt matches her gladiators, a very nice touch.
I totally agree to you. I thought absolutely the same, esp. of the length of the shorts, which is a question I turn in my mind very often for myself.
Seems simple, but is a highend-look! Great capture, a reason more I come along your website each day.
I really do love how the Parisian women do Summer--so effortless and nonchalant. It so much like this new collection that's all the rave in the city: http://www.mybestaddressbook.com/en/buzz/shopping/879/audrey-marnay-for-claudie-pierlot.html.
Super love it and everyone in the city seems to be going gaga over it too!!!
Effortlessly chic.
This is how to dress in an urban summer;)
Truly enjoy your inspirational blog.
reminds me of this:
http://www.mybestaddressbook.com/en/buzz/shopping/879/audrey-marnay-for-claudie-pierlot.html
so effortless and nonchalant yet chic
spot-on perfection.
bag is amazing! i think it's ysl too but couldn't find it on the website. actually i think this lancel bag would work better http://www.ss-aw.com/bags/lancel-brown-goatskin-rendez-vous-large-tote-leather/
Simply lovely!
I have just found the shirt at zara, in soldes!!!!
I'm a lucky girl
:)
Lauretta from florence
I like that they're tinted neutrals...beige becomes blush, sage, and butterscotch, and her natural tawny coloring is colored with a nice rosy lip.
http://cloudofsecrets.blogspot.com
Definitely a chic outfit that makes for a laid back look. I love the neutral combination to make a look that pops.
so simple and so interesting and fresh!
love it
Really love this outfit.
I love her energy!
Does anybody know the name of this blouse from Zara? I would like to call them and pruchase one.
Beautiful photo and girl. So effortless!
yes, I like this ... real freedom and a little smile of course!
http://theidiotgame.com source
WOW, so simple and sooo cool. I love her shirt and sandals. Great mix of colours.
Greetings
You can only wear shorts this long if you have freakishly long legs, which she does :)
The closest thing I could find to this bag is from Roots in Canadahttp://canada.roots.com/SchlepBagwithzipperinTribeLeather/Shoulderbags//18019696,default,pd.html?cgid=WomensLeatherBagsLarge&selectedColor=2402
Roots has great leather and quality. Their bags last for years and get better with use.
Hope this helps.
YSL always on the top :D
Just back from five days in a very hot NYC and I can say, this type of outfit really makes the most sense under these conditions. Although the little summer dress is delightful, it loses its charm for the wearer when you pass over a subway grate or a breeze comes whipping up from a building and leaves you staggering along the sidewalk onto your hem for dear life. Pants are too hot and Mini skirts don't leave you feeling terribly protected on a dirty subway car. The shorts serve the same task as a short pencil skirt and are infinitely more comfortable.And thank the lord for gladiator sandals. They're cool, they look put together, they stay on and you can walk for miles in them without feeling blisters or foot pain. So, now we know why she's smiling that beautiful smile that's made us smile too. Great picture.
Yes, she is perfection. I live in the south, and find myself wearing lots of shorts; trying each and every day to come up with something that is interesting, appropriate, sexy, and different. There is only so much you can do when your look is defined by the weather. She has done a great job. Love her sandals and the break up of her chosen colors. I don't have a pair of black shorts, should have purchased some.
Sexy! Yes Yes Yes
finally a woman who exudes self-confidence.
Incredibly chic and clearly parisienne! http://justthrowntogether.blogspot.com/
This look is so perfect. The top is such a beautiful hue in an equally beautiful fabric, plus the bag is so now.
http://izzenxoxo.blogspot.com/
Very nice to see a Parisian woman in shorts! I lived in Paris for a few months nearly 10 years ago, and since then have been converted to wearing mainly skirts and dresses in the summer. Kudos on showing a chic (and might I add, classic) way to wear shorts!
Love the background...
E
This look is just so sexy and carefree. Simply elegant.
she should never wear a blouse of any other color
Love this look! So perfect. Have a great weekend and thanks for finding so many interesting people and outfits to inpire us all! :)
I guess that reason why some people choose to wear tubes and short shorts is because some places temperature reaches 40C with a 70% humidity. I'm sure they'd love to look like this beautiful lady but the outfit will not last more than 5mins outdoors.
I totally agree Sart!
oh Paris, see you on Friday!
I love how this relaxed look can be so elegant and carefree at the same time.
I love this whole outfit. very well put together. very chic.
every summer you put up a photo, and i think... yes, that's what i aspire to. this is my this year's... thank you!
wow, shes gorgeous.
This is one of the best I've seen. Just WOW. Brilliant.
The proportions of her outfit, including the beautiful leather tote and accessories, are spot on. Simple, elegant, sexy. And best of all, that beautiful face and very disarming smile which is the best fashion accessory...Effortless beauty!
Absolutely stunning. Perfect in every way.
Everything about this gorgeous girl works: the hues, the effortlessly elegant shorts and blouse, right down to her bag and sandals is perfection. Sleek minimalism at its best.
I know nothing about fashion, but this is beautiful... just beautiful...
Just got back from Paris, it is simply brilliant and what a chich picture to do it justice you have posted! x
My favorite part of this is her smile. My second favorite part is the most lovingly worn-in YSL Downtown bag...looks so soft and well-loved...
I'm off to Paris on Monday and your blog has been such an inspiration for me whilst packing!
She looks so chic!
I really want her blouse and bag.
Modest, relaxed, and beautiful!
Love its resort chic :)
