Style notice: À la Brune de Margerie

(via diorette)

THE STYLE Brune bases her wardrobe on three basic colors: black, grey and navy blue. A chromatic minimalism can be found in the designers she favors: Stefano Pilati, Martin Margiela, Nicolas Ghesquière, Alber Elbaz, whose clothes she mixes with things from Et Vous and Zara.

THE METHOD Every morning, the same process: “To choose a look, I start with the shoes, which I coordinate with a clutch, and everything else follows.”

THE TABOO Too many colors, loud colors, fluorescent, anything flashy. Three colors she hates: yellow, green and orange.

FOR EVENINGS “I don’t wear glamorous couture, dresses that are pleated, or floaty or transparent. I wear a classic little dress by Chanel, well-cut and perfect for all circumstances.”

  1. I love your blog, Fleurette. I found it a couple of days ago and I guess I've read everything on this blog at least 3 times. Lately I've been pretty fed up with fashion blogs but I luckily found yours. Thanks for being so inspiring. I'am coming back every day for new posts ;D

  2. Hey miss, thanks for the compliment.I'm not entirely sure how I did it, I just tend to go on the HTML and mess around with it for a few hours. Don't necessarily know the advanced aspects of HTML. You can view the source and decipher it if you like, by all means. Nice to have you back to constantly blogging by the way. I remember avidly reading your and Maja's blog voraciously two summers ago.

  3. I've had this saved for a while too. I've meant to feature it but never found the right occasion. Very chic, and good inspiration for a professional wardrobe. I largely keep my work wardrobe with black, white, grey, navy, and cream. And I too HATE the color yellow.

  4. Anonymous: Aww, thank you so much for reading my blog.Rosé Magritte: Ah, I see. Haha, cool. Hope you'll be a avid reader of the revived blog as well!! :)Sølvi: ThxPret a Porter P: Me too, I love the une fille un style spreads in VP so I'll most likely share a vast amount of them in the future.

  5. I love the suit Brune is wearing in that first pictures. It was fantastic to hear her views on style and all, she definitely has a strong view of fashion and what she believes. Which I love! Especially her thoughts on evening wear, which I couldn't agree more with. I think if you find that perfect dress, both the colour [or lack there of], the cut, and style that fits you, then you are set. I am still on the hunt for this perfect dress, but I hope to one day prevail. [I am thinking J.Crew, in their more formal dresses might be the ticket.]I also love her view on colours. I hate them, well most, especially yellow and orange like she mentions. I've learnt that jewel tones work well, but a deep purple or wine colour is my choice. Sorry for the long comment.

  6. Jacquelyn: Please, don't apologize! I LOVE getting long comments, especially from you :) I agree, I'm in an endless hunt for the perfect dress as well. Maybe I should save my money and invest in one from Chanel, and yeah.. then I'm completely set and do not need to bother looking for another dress for the rest of my life.. haha!

  7. Haha, kødder du med meg. Jeg gikk faktisk og tenkte på det i dag, at jeg husket at du skulle selge noen bukser, og at det kanskje var disse, lol! Det betyr at du synes at de er stygge :( hahaha.

  8. Very inspiring! I wish there were more pictures of her!UFUS might be my favourite spread of the whole magazine!
