Monaco + Grace Kelly = Inspiration

To build a stylish wardrobe suited for your lifestyle, you must start with some inspiration. It’s important to have an idea of the “Look” you’re aiming to create. 

An easy place to start is  thinking of a style icon, or really just anyone, that impresses you as particularly fashionable and inspirational. They resonate with je ne sais quoi.

For many women, that  is… Grace Kelly!!!

 


Well, when you break it down to its basic elements, there really are a lot of options and it only takes a few pieces to attain a chic look that makes it easier to get dressed and feel great.


Let's run through them shall we? Tell me below if  I’ve missed anything!

  1. Living in Monaco, she obviously embraced the “coastal white” ensemble.

  2. Good sunglasses can jazz up any signature look.

  3. The espadrille was not forgotten from her wardrobe as comfy and appropriate for warm weather (I’ve used these for casual times, but what I love even more is how they are the perfect water shoe and excellent for pebbly beaches).

  4. A great handbag! She used a handbag to discreetly shield her pregnancy in such a stylish way that Hermès renamed its bag, The Kelly.

  5. She understood the elegance of a flowy trouser pant. This one is such an easy, practical and elegant way to wear pants that, if you really don’t like jeans, itonly takes pairing it with the simplest of cotton T-shirts to pull off a great Look!


Here are some pieces I think you’ll enjoy, inspired by  Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco:


Stuart Weitzman - can’t recommend this brand enough!

A stiped boatneck in ivory tones - parfait!

Banana Republic Factory - such a great season they are having!

Kate Spade - such a great handbag to have for years!
