Garance Doré

Don’t believe what you see in the photos; the weather is terrible in London. Nevertheless, the Londoners are super motivated by fashion week and they love following all the trends. And the trend for this summer is pastel colors.

I’m not even going to try and hide the fact that I like pastels better on others than on myself – I just can’t figure out how to wear them.

That said, I’m the biggest fan of these Miu Miu sunglasses even if they’re sooo last season. I don’t even care, I just love them!!!

  2. trop belles photos ! ces couleurs ravivent un peu ce temps triste ! bisous

  3. Ça fait du bien le pastel dans cette grisaille et ce froid hivernal. Et je suis sûr que tu vas finir par succomber ! :)

  4. Le pastel est une belle teinte de couleur en effet, mais moi je la préfère quand on la porte en été …

  6. Bonjour Garance,

    Les photos sont magnifiques, avec une petite préférence pour la dernière. Les lunettes Miu Miu me font de l’oeil depuis un petit temps et là je craque :-)…
    J’adore le petit côté décallé qu’elles offrent.

    Je suis comme toi, le pastel…j’ai un peu de mal. Non seulement c’est fade mais en plus ça grossit. Pour les filles solaires, ce n’est pas évident de faire ce compromis là. Par contre que penses-tu d’un mélange pastel – néon…pour redonner du peps à l’ensemble? un peu comme tu le suggères sur les deux photos.

    J’avais fait un long post sur le pastel, mais j’en prépare un nouveau en deux parties sur le néon & les couleurs acidulées. Je pense que je vais proposer le duo-néon pastel. Merci beaucoup pour la touche d’inspiration…

    Have fun à Londres. A Bruxelles, il fait très froid aussi…mais le soleil brille ^_^.

    Bonne journée,
    Yeba

  7. um…these photos are marvelous! Lovely and simply outstanding, im waiting for more! coat is perfect, sunglasses are very stylish, woman is beautiful!

  11. j’aime bien le manteau chiné “nioude”, mais sorti de ça, pareil que toi, le pastel, ok sur les autres, mais pas sur moi….

  12. Nice outfits! I really like the first photo!

  15. Oh those sunglasses.. They are adorable!
    Who cares if it’s last season if it makes your heart jump.

    And the knitted sweater with the blue leatherjacket.

    Thanks for a lovely post!
    Will go through my knitted sweaters now and see what I’ll find…

  16. I love the MiuMiu sunglasses and the coat. I regret not buying that coat, it looks gorgeous on her.

  17. I love the glasses too! And yeah, I appreciate pastels occasionally on others, but on me, it’s just too much washed out against my pale skin. A little bit cadaver-y, which is never a look I’m going for.

  18. The one in yellow jacket is Swedish; Columbine Smille: http://columbine.freshnet.se/ She’s gorgeous!

  19. Voilà ce que j’aime dans la mode. Chaque saisons des nouvelles tendances mais toujours la possibilité de faire sa tambouille. Piocher dans les tendances passées et celles à venir ce qui nous plaira, nous ira. La mode n’est pas quelque chose de figée. Elle bouge et change sans cesse pour que tout le monde puisse s’y retrouver.
    Merci de me le rappeler un peu chaque jour avec tes photos, avec les femmes que tu photographies.

  20. Such a beautiful smile that makes me forget that I don’t really like those colors…

  21. Bienvenue a Londres encore (pardon my French, but is that right?). Love these colours and the photos. And today’s not to bad, weather-wise, non?

    I’ll look out for you around the tents. I’d love to say hello.

  23. Moi aussi tout ce que je vois en pastel je trouve ca trop beau mais j’avoue que je me vois pas en porter. Pourtant j’ai bien envie d’un pantalon rose pastel. On verra.
    Merci pour ces jolies photos. Vivement le printemps

  24. Love the glasses! I recently discovered your site via “The Sartorialist”. I’ve been quietly enjoying your site, but this is my first comment. As a web designer & developer / fashion fanatic, let me say your site is like eye candy from a design and fashion standpoint. The photography is absolutely beautiful. . . and the fashion . . . awesome! I’ve always fantasized about working in the fashion world, now I can live vicariously through your experiences : )

  25. La première tenue est superbe, vintage, classe et up-to-date à la fois!
    I love! Sinon les couleur d’habitude, très peu pour moi…

  26. I agree – I do like the glasses. I used to do more pastels (before they were so hot) but realized they wash me out. They probably need to be combined with something stronger…or maybe worn in the summer with a tan.

  27. Magnifique! Ce look est superbe!

    Grosse envie de couleurs pastels là tout de suite maintenant!

  28. Oh, what a desirable coat – this girl would be lovely in a potato sack, she looks great.

  29. La 1ere et la derniere photos: j’adore !!! eh oui a Londres il fait treeeesss frrrrrrroid mais le soleil a repondu a ton appel!

  30. NOOO way! That jumper! Do you know where it’s from?
    xx

  31. “Ah, une photo qui annonce le printemps, et comment!”, ai-je pensé en ouvrant ce blog… Magnifique, comme les deux autres de cette mini-série. Et tant pis, si en réalité il fait froid, c’est la magie de la mode que de nous le faire oublier!
    Je suis même si enthousiaste que je vais avouer un faible pour ces lunettes miu miu.
    J’envisage même sérieusement les couleurs pastels… bon il va falloir que j’y réfléchisse un peu plus peut-être…

  32. Beautiful photography as always!

  33. I saw a segment today on TV showing viewers how to wear yellow. It looked good on them and these pictures are delightful, but I’m with you. I’ve tried, but I can’t figure out how to wear pastels either.

  34. Ca donne déjà envie d’été !

  36. Love, love, love the pink tweed overcoat layered over the blue leather jacket and fabulous sweater. The flood length jeans and yellow jacket are very cool, too. I’d definitely wear both looks!

  37. la demoiselle avec les lunettes papillon: magnifique. ah mais vraiment. j´adore le manteau, le pull, le jean en bright yellow … bref le tout! il est de quel label, le sweat?

  38. Love pastels, the sunglasses AND the shoes!!

  40. Love this trend, and inspite of the weather, I’m already collecting my pastel colours!

  41. Who s the girl with the miu miu sunglasses?

  42. Those glasses are amazing. I’ve been loving pastels on everyone lately and really want to try a skinny jean pair. Wish me luck!

  43. Love pastels too, but also don’t really know how to make them work on me, so I always wear the same peachy-rose color and call that my pastel moment :). Would love to wear them in the Winter for a happy day too. Enjoy London (and its weather)! xoxo

  44. Love the pastel colors…The coat it´s amazing!

  45. C’est vrai que les couleurs pastels, j’adhère qu’à moitié. J’ai toujours l’impression de fondre dans le décors, ou de retourner dans l’enfance.

  46. So beautiful photos!!
    I love pastels, I love colors generally.

  47. She has styled her pastel look beautifully…

    Visit the shiny, brand new blog http://www.offdutychic.com & let me know what you think. I’ve now published my fourth post!

  48. I love her sunglasses! Such a striking look!

    http://www.thecuriouscameragirl.com

  49. I find that mixing in a bit of black (via shoes or a bag) helps ground a floaty head-to-toe pastel look. It toughens it a bit and adds some nice contrast. Give it a whirl!

  50. j’adore ces couleurs !

  51. Pareil, je suis fan de ces lunettes et pas trop du pastel. Bien que le pull et le manteau soient à tomber.

  52. Même si les couleurs sont très tentantes parce que ça nous change de la grisaille, ce n’est pourtant pas évident de porter le pastel – ça peut facilement faire layette, mais pour les over 50 ça peut aussi faire Barbara Cartland…

  53. Weather terrible in London?? It’s a tropical paradise compared to the last few weeks. That’s probably why all the pastels are breaking out: this is the first sight of the sun we’ve had in months!

  54. Love these pastels, can’t wait for the weather to get better so I can start wearing all my spring clothes. The Miu miu sunnies are great aswell

  55. OMG !
    Après les glitter shoes de la rentrée que tu possèdes, belle Garance, voilà que tu me remets en tête ces lunettes repérées à la fin de cet article oublié :
    http://www.chicandgeek.com/mode/miu-miu-chaussures-glitter/
    C’est trop !!!
    Elles sont juste parfaites mais elles étaient sold out à Paris si vite… alors qu’elles coûtaient presque aussi cher que les shoes si ma mémoire est bonne.
    Je m’en fiche qu’elles soient de la saison dernière ou datent de Mathusalem… je les désire ardemment !
    Bisous
    Anne

  56. Moi aussi J’adore ses lunette :)

  57. I’m still trying to find out how girls can buy those Acne shoes… I mean, I know that Acne is cool and everything; but only because something it’s Acne doesn’t mean you have to wear it!
    Those shoes are awful, is someone with me (please)? hehe

  58. Lovely smile and amazing coat!!

  59. Welcome to London!! Are you enjoying the Culture Pub?

    I love your photos. Yes, it’s how we do it here! Bright colours and mix of everything to lift our spirits!

    Being French, I am still struggling with wearing it myself, but I so enjoy it on my friends and in the London streets.

    Come on girls, let’s set the mood on pastels and prints.

  64. elles sont magnifiques ! elles ont l’air toutes fraîches, heureuse.. parfaites =)

    ça a de quoi foutre le cafard carrément :/

    des bises! photos toujours aussi belle !

  65. Pastels are tricky to pull off. It seems that they are made for a specific skin tone. I’m olive skin and some colors like the pinks and oranges look good but the purple and blues…not so much. Le sigh*

  66. Who cares if it’s last season or last decade…. What about people who wear 50′s 60′s style clothes ?!! Come on :) As long as it looks good and suits you well….

  67. Cette tendance pastel ne me dit rien qui vaille. Dans mon cas, j’ai l’air d’un lama hépatique quand je porte des couleurs pâles près du visage alors je vais me contenter… De regarder et c’est tout :)

  68. i love the light and subtle colors and that bright fantastic shoe!!

  79. Pareil,
    les couleurs pastel, c’est très bien sur les autres… hehehe. Et les lunettes, I die, même last season…

  80. The blondes a babe and I want those glassesssss!!!!!!!!!

  81. “Sooooo last season!” You are beginning to sound like the ‘girl’ in ‘Shit Fashion Girls Say’ haha (except that with the sunglasses rather than with the glittery pumps).

    I love them too- and pastels as well! Despite the fact that I am beginning to fear that by the time the weather actually does permit for proper wear I will have overdosed on seeing them in the blogosphere already.

  87. Love the colors! Great outfit!

  88. I looooooove these sunglasses! I didn’t realize they were so last season, because I couldn’t get my hands on them (outside on NYC) until last week. It was worth the wait. They fit my life in a way that Miu Miu’s 40s dresses from last season didn’t. Love. And I love hearing that you do too.

  89. The middle look is my fave. The jeans are flawless. The overall effect is lovely. The bag choice could have been better, perhaps.

  94. This is pretty good weather for this time of year, much warmer than it has been and no sideways rain at all…enjoy. It doesn’t matter what I think of pastels, they hate me & make me look like a blancmange pudding. I’ll stick to super saturated colours and admire pastels on others & in your lovely photographs

  95. Yellow & blue – one of my latest favourite own combinations :)

Garance Doré

I began my blog in June, 2006. I was an illustrator and growing frustrated – with the type of work I was getting, yes, but mostly frustrated because I wasn’t really connecting with the readers of the magazines I was working for. I wanted to do something a little more free, more spontaneous. I had ...
