Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Marie

Marie Myrhøj from Nemesis,Babe blog, before Elie Saab, Paris, July 2012.

Loved this outfit on Marie (who is 19 years old and from Denmark) - so sweet. I took two sets of photos of her (these before Elie Saab and some before Jean Paul Gaultier). I couldn't decide which ones (yes, I am hopelessly indecisive) so am showing you these now and the other ones in a couple of weeks :)

Recreate Marie's super cute look (kind of):


Add printed pants: River Island fluro Geo pant, Enza Costa chiffon zipper pants (saw these on a lady pushing a pram the other day. She looked amazing), Girl. by Band of Outsiders Garland printed pants, Pencey Standard Jessica Hart pants

A group of us were just standing around in the Place Vendôme waiting/watching/chatting (i.e. wasting time!) one evening....and then this lady swept by. I think this dress is beautiful. And I love her messy up-do. 

Recreate her look (kind of):

Floaty maxi dress (perfect for a wedding or cocktail party) - Sonia Rykiel Rainbow Impression dress (this would look amazing when you walk or dance), Issa kimono sleeve printed silk maxi dress, Yigal Azrouel leopard silk dress, ASOS maxi dress with pleats or Alice by Temperley Beatrice maxi dress
