A Family Fashion Affair...

Given our penchant for all things nails and manicures, it is an appropriate time to introduce our latest style crush, Prisca Courtin-Clarins the beauty heiress introducing Parisians to the American Nail Salon.  Prisca however, is only one quarter of this blogpost.  

Her sister and cousins Virginie, Claire and Jenna are a mini fash pack, a supertight quartet whose wardrobes we're pining after.  Uber tall, uber slim and uuuuber French these girls are a permanent fixture on front rows and party syndicates and we're loving every second. 

Jenna, Virginie, Claire and Prisca Courtin-Clarins. 

Neutrals with a pop of red, even standing they look glorious.

Look at their smooth forheads... Gosh we'd love that lifetime of Clarins!

Sport Luxe, tailored chic, flowing neutrals and jewel brights - all trends together and looking fab. 

Those legs!

Must. Have. That. Jacket. Now. 

Valade Validation...

We're unashamedly obsessed with French model Amyline Valade....Born in 1991 (1991?!?!) She is the model of the moment - no less than Alexander Wang's muse!

With her flawless golden skin, pink pout and blue as blue eyes Amyline also has the best off duty style we've seen in ages!  And that is saying something. 

Hair slicked back with a casual grey knit and biker jacket - perfect. 

HNMC FAVOURITE....ever?

Aymeline for RUSSH

Stovepipe jeans, biker jacket, Balenciaga totes and patent brogues...essentials!

With Alexander Wang.

For Spanish Vogue Oct. 2011

This look is just perfect.... a definite for our inspiration board!

Casual street chic... Heavenly in white lace and leather flats.

Vive Vogue français...

...and Emmanuelle Alt!

Perhaps we jumped the gun a little bit when we said we could die happy if we had Viviana Volpicella's wardrobe...  Filling a big pair of shoes - and then some! is Emmanuelle Alt the new Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue.

Reason we love her wardrobe?!  It is ALWAYS chic, simple and classic interspersed with THE must have pieces.  Even though Emmanuelle is always on trend, her look never dates as she adds pieces to her classic, good quality basics. 

Words can't express our love for this woman's impeccable style. Emmanuelle dresses intelligently too as she invests in wardrobe staples that will see her through several seasons and simultaneously become synonymous with her style.

MUST invest in over the knee suede, black boots...

We love the structured shoulder and Isabel Marant boots.

What a duo - Emmanuelle with former Vogue Paris Editor-in-Chief, Carine Restoin-Roitfield.

HNMC favourite.  Beautiful simple white blazer with stockings, black denim shorts and over the knee boots pulled together by a classical stripe breton tee. 

Dressing black on black works so well when there are different textures of good quality - black never looks good if it is done with cheap and badly made fabrics; if you invest in well made pieces they should withstand time and are a great investment. 

HNMC favourite...How beautiful are these pants!

Ahh to wear Balmain...

Great Jacket.

Animal print is always a showstopper.

This look is perfect because it is absolutely do-able. 

Look as chic as Emmanuelle by clever layering.

These leather pants are a constant on Emmanuelle and show how a great piece can be worn again and again in many different ways over different seasons. We want!
