Le Stripe
Ever since I read about how to dress like a French woman on Joanna’s blog, I’ve been accumulating striped shirts like it’s nobody’s business. The nautical vibe of stripes transports me to a warmer frame of mind instantaneously, which is perfect since it’s supposed to rain for the next four days straight. I’m already envisioning lots of movies, board games and take-out this weekend.

I love your headband! Exactly what I’m wearing these days (take a look at my blog if you want to see…) And of course, I love stripes, since I’m a french girl….
Adorable outfit you’ve got here. I do love that headband.
Very sweet.
xx.
I totally have this headband! Very cute. I just found your site recently and I love it! I am trying to find ways to be cute while not spending a bunch of money. Thank you.
Adorable…love your headband and it’s so nice to see your hair down!
i’ve been doing lots of stripes too lately. and the headband looks darling!
xxoo
That handbag is perfect!
One thing I’ve wondered, who takes these photos?
The top is adorable, but I’m just coveting your delightfully poufy skirt!
Very chic! the combo of the striped top & a white skirt is gorgeous!
you look so adorable! love everything!

You’re channeling Diane von Furstenberg’s Spring 2009 collection! (http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/slaves-to-fashion/2008/09/todays-must-have-dvfs-floral-headbands.html.)
I just bought a crystal encrusted headband from Banana Republic and am trying to think of ways to wear it. I like headbands because they add interest to one’s face, rather than letting the rest of the ensemble take center stage…
Great look, Emily!
Am totally loving the nautical look. It always looks so fresh and clean and adorable! And I have to say that I get a total kick out of doing it in Paris!!

very cute! I loooove the nautical:D that;s my look nr one for summer:D
Love it, u are truly adorable!
Love the skirt. And the bag. And the watch… Yeah, I just love it.
You’re really gorgeous and I love that handband. At first I almost mistook you for Nicole Richie
Most beautious
I love the way French women dress, and i have always wanted to sport a striped shirt. That being said, aren’t horizontal stripes a no-no for women who don’t have your enviable figure?
Hi there-tres chic indeed, looking lovely!!
LOVE that bag!!
You SLAY me Emily! Leave it to you to take the classics and make them your very own! Striped shirts really are the best, but pairing it with that flirty skirt and hippy glam headband take it to a whole other level!
C’est chic!!!
Love your outfit – you look more beautiful than the J. Crew models!
xoxox,

you’re so adorable!
the headband looks great on you~

ha ha I started buying stripes for exactly the same reason!
I’m so excited because I have that same shirt and love it!
I’ve been reading and loving your blog for months now – please keep it up, you’re great!
i am so addicted to stripe shirts. i have a growing collections for years now. it’s kind of ridiculous really.
Love the striped shirt. Love the headband.
Typical sailor girl outfit. Cute!
i love striped shirts. especially when i pair them with skirts! that vintage purse is so cute!
GORGEOUS!!! love the skirt!
You nailed it! Total French chic, with that all important twist (literally, your headband!)
Interested in a free pair of Celeste Stein tights? I’m giving them away on my blog – for those daring enough to pull them off. Yowza!
I love the bag!
Love stripes, love, love, love that nail color. It looks great on you.
I want to pull off that headband so bad! I just don’t know how to make it look cute without looking sloppy. :0(
LOVE the outfit..when i try to wear a forehead band, it poofs and I look like a fool
Adorable. Love the stripes, headband, shoes, bag — everything sings!
That headband is oui-oui..and those shoes are little pieces of heaven.
I almost bought that exact shirt at h&m yesterday! the line was too long so I cut out of there, but now you’re making me want to go back…
Love the nautical look on you!
You look like a movie star!
lovely! the French riviera look is timeless. hope your well beautiful.
big kiss,
Marian
the watch and the headband are great accessories to such a simple look!
Wow, thats just a fresh, cute look. I think my 18 year old niece would like this….I’ll have to send her over to your blog! Great outfit!

Oh my god, you are sooo pretty! Lovely photo – I love your headband, too and the skirt and the shoes??? Gosh, speechless!

Where are you, and why is it warm enough to be wearing a skirt?! So jealous!
This outfit is amazing. I actually just bought a headband like that and can’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to stay like that on my head without my hair seriously poofing up on all sides! Any suggestions?
XO
This look is absolute perfection…and the little lady-like bag is such a nice touch. I am also a stripe-fanatic. It just always feels so fresh and put-together, even if you are disheveled!
I love this outfit.
The skirt is to die for and I adore those sandals! Great job.
I stare blankley at my closet full of stripes that I have accumulated over the years trying to figure out how to French-ify the pieces I already own. [I think I need a skirt like this].

How very sweet. I live in skirts so I always love inspiration.
love the headband and shoes, super cute! i need to check out her blog!
xoxo
I like it! From head to toe it’s so flattering!
Fabulous, fabulous look. I help people ‘manage wardrobes’ and I try to teach people to love stripes. It’s hard for some. But, your pics are a perfect example of why they SHOULD! The navy + yellow is so great.
Åh I love the headband!

I have this H&M tee and I wear it all the time with skirts just like you have here… It quickly makes a look so french chic!
You are a pretty girl but s’il vous plait, c’est PAS magnifique. Lose the headband (its tacky), bag, watch and do something about the hair. This looks like you are trying to hard.
adorable look! casual, but very chic!
Cute shoes.
I love stripes!! H&M has really been a great spot. Though even Target has a few looks I love. But I am more obsessed with the purse. Where did you find it??
i have the same headband but i love the way you’re wearing it! i am also loving the nude sandals with the outfit. xx
i adore the headband! it reminds me of something CC skye would design! adorable.
that vintage bag is fabulous
xx
Lovely look, nautical… oui, French … non
I guess I’m the only one who isn’t enamoured with this look – for the life of me I just can’t see a french woman in this outfit, as it strikes me as too ‘cutesy’, and lacks a certain elegance. ‘Cute’ is the last word I think any of us would use to describe what a french woman looks like. The headband reminds me of Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu – in a bad way. I must say I agree with the comment ‘from france’ . . .
ohh, stripped shirts are fabulous and indeed so French:) I love the way how you combine it with this white skirt and the headband!xx
ohh, stripped shirts are fabulous and indeed so French:)
love how you combine it with this cute white skirt, the headband and the silver pochet!xx
maybe los angeles, mais french…pas du tout. stripes, when the sun shines but headband…
i’ve not seen a headband here in paris. heuresement.
en plus, french women carry rather large bags.
par contre, t’es mignonne.
allez, ciao.
I feel as though some readers are taking your homage (see, I speak French as well) too literally. I mean, it’s not like you’re wearing a beret, snacking on a baguette and chain smoking. That would be horribly cliche and stereotypical. I know the French are rightfully proud of their culture and style, but I think Emily knows she’s not French, which you can tell by her shaved legs.
cute outfit! i love your headband..

i love this outfit – you look great
very pretty you are!

those shoes are heaven.
wow so fantastic love ur bubble skirt!
Totally gorgeous – love this look on you!
