Clothes are such a small part of what makes a person beautiful, don’t you agree?
Here’s my incomplete and disorganized list of details that, to me, contributes to creating impalpable elegance.
a class all its own
Have you ever worn a pant-suit before? I have, just once, and I definitely should do so again. It gives you a funny sensation. You get this incredible confidence. It’s sexy, but a different sexy. Not innocent nor trashy, and not at all obvious. It’s just very… Femme
What’s crazy is just how much men love them. Saint Laurent knew what he was doing. I don’t know what exactly it frees up for them but put on a pant-suit and a pair of heels and you’ll have heads turning everywhere you go. I think its the classic charm matched with a timelessness, it leaves something to the imagination, something about the unexposed body leaves in its place nothing but pure allure.
Like a mystery you suddenly want to pierce through.

l’âme soeur
Around the time I was into playing GI Joe, she was already trying on our mom’s heels.
My sister and I have always been different from each other. I feel like I’m just starting to find my own style while she already knew what she wanted ever since she was twelve—beautiful things, sky-high heels, precious jewels…. She never balked at paying for her whims and working hard to get them. Even at a very young age.
Imagine how much that annoyed the rebellious me, in my baggy jeans and beat-up Converse shoes. I was still a bungling, gawky, adolescent while she already was a perfume-wearing young lady smelling of Shiseido’s ‘Feminité du Bois’.
Much as Laetitia, despite her 5 ft. 9 in. frame… Happens to be my little sis.
Like most sisters, we’ve had our fair share of ugly fights and explosive arguments around the house that everybody in the family remembers quite well. It hasn’t always been perfect between us. Yet, we had a lot of fun in each other’s company.
Yes, it would be easy to imagine otherwise since she’s a sophisticated lot…
But she’s by far, the funniest girl I know.
