We talked last time about style and personality… I’ve been looking for mine (style AND personality) for a long time now.

Well. There have been a few moments slightly more memorable than others:

1/ I am 8 years old and in love with my papa.

Just to have the privilege of spending as much time with him as possible, I become interested in everything he does. I even dress like him.
I’m also the biggest fan, since I was a kid, of George, the heroine from The Famous Five.

My look? Pants and short hair. I am a real tomboy in school and the little model girls (the perfectas of the time) look at me with a raised brow. READ MORE

The time has come when I’ve started to suffer from an acute case of winter laziness – that is to say that we’re saying goodbye! to the new super motivated New York Garance who juggles a pilates class with her daily run and yoga and hello! to the Garance flat on her back in front of a rather questionable* TV show comparing the textures of three different kinds of peanut butter**, hello! to the Garance who:

• Hasn’t jogged in 2 months.
• Forced herself out of bed with a super human amount of effort to go to, get this, Virgin Yoga, this morning. The yog’ for beginners. Just out of fear that I would overstretch a finger. Aaaah, at least I’m bound to be the best in the class***!
• Hasn’t called her pilates teacher for two weeks. And this is after promising, high five included, to see her twice a week to sculpt the most amazing abs you’ve ever seen. And now I have to hide every time I walk by her gym, which is around three times a day****.

So yeah, when I start looking dangerously like a depressed slug, the only thing that can really motivate me, can you guess what it is?

Just because I’m in Morrocco doesn’t mean I forgot it was winter. We went across the High Atlas today and it was negative 12 outside.

I love this way of wearing a turtleneck, with hair tucked inside. It’s cool when you have long hair: all of the sudden, it’s as if you have a bob!

From Kaysi : Garance!!! Do you have any advice for creating a minimalist, functional, and fabulous wardrobe?

Mmmm… Kaysi, even if I dream of having a minimalist, functional, and fabulous wardrobe, most mornings I find myself buried under a mountain of clothes – outfits literally falling on top of me – I can never find anything and everything’s lost.

I usually just end up wearing the last thing I bought (right now, a pair of grey jeans and Fratelli Rossetti shoes) just because they’re on top of the pile.

That said, I could never dare to imagine just how happy I would be if every time I opened my closet, I found the following clothes, folded neatly and organized by color:

I love the simplicity of these two looks and they’re perfect for the weather in New York right now.

A slightly flared skirt so you can take bigger steps, a super cozy little sweater, flats for the day and heels for night… So cool!

The first days of fall* made me condense my morning outfit** questions to two possibilities : very very casual or very very effortless, a Californian uniform*** which soon made my boyfriend wince. You know, even if the man is very tolerant regarding fashion, he is nonetheless… A man.

I had to come up with a plan.
