Though I love them, my battered Frye Harness's just aren't the same...and it certainly seems as though enough time has passed since the boho-overkill of 2005 to be able to sport cowboy boots with a straight face:

1) Gorgeous silhouette with just enough detail from R. Soles London

2) Perfectly worn-in ankle booties from Golden Goose, available at La Garconne.

3) A streamlined riding boot/cowboy boot combo from APC, also available at La Garconne.

Entirely Herself.

Came across this great Parisian-inspired editorial. Even though it's almost three years old, it's aged exceptionally well, despite the numerous "it bags" littered throughout. Funny how you never really see Paddington or Motorcycle bags anymore...to be honest, I don't miss them!

It bags notwithstanding, I love the styling in this editorial, perfect for everyday. The outfits are chic without being over-the-top, and each outfit looks like a happy coincidence rather than the result of careful planning.

I'm guessing whoever styled the editorial may have had Charlotte Gainsbourg in mind. Pared-down, even in Balenciaga, she always manages to look entirely herself. And, in today's era of borrowed dresses and trendwhoring, that's certainly an accomplishment within itself.
