my fashion love affair


Yes, I admit, I am in love with Emmanuelle Alt. Not to burst any bubbles but she's in her 40's, yea, I said 40's. For the sake of argument, she is barely in her 40's but still... I owe her much thanks for giving me hope that aging isn't all that bad.

What makes her style so fantastic:

1. Her "I just threw this on and ran out the house" look.
2. Her practically all black wardrobe
3. Her skin which appears to never have makeup
4. Her legs are long, way long
5. Her bad-ass attitude which oozes out of her as she walks

Can I just note, that almost everything on the list above has nothing to do with the clothes she owns, and perhaps that is the point. What makes Emmanuelle Alt so awesome is her confidence.

She's fabulous. She wears TopShop jeans too- so you're right, it doesn't have much to do with the clothes. It's all about HER! xx

She's amazing, definitely one of my personal fashion icons... and you're right, it's not something she gets from her clothes (although her wardrobe helps!).

She's so beautiful. I see many women whose beauty shines through as they reach 40 and 50!
