J\u2019ai fait toutes mes \u00e9tudes \u00e0 Bordeaux. Enfin presque, car depuis janvier, j\u2019ai eu la chance de pouvoir venir vivre quelques mois \u00e0 Paris dans le cadre d\u2019un stage. A l\u2019heure o\u00f9 je te parle, je suis en train de faire mes bagages pour repartir \u00e0 Bordeaux. Je dois dire que cette exp\u00e9rience parisienne fut tr\u00e8s plaisante : j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 plein de nanas supers et j\u2019ai d\u00e9couvert de nouveaux endroits incroyables. Je suis un peu triste de repartir, mais en m\u00eame temps tr\u00e8s attach\u00e9e \u00e0 Bordeaux, donc j\u2019avoue que je suis mitig\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"comment-decris-tu-ton-style-quotidien\">Comment d\u00e9cris-tu ton style quotidien?<\/h3>\n<p>Et bien je suis quelqu\u2019un de tr\u00e8s classique, qui porte \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de basiques et qui aime \u00eatre \u00e0 l\u2019aise dans ses v\u00eatements. Je porte tr\u00e8s peu de jupes, je suis du genre pantalons. J\u2019aime mixer les genres : porter des vestes d\u2019hommes avec des bottines \u00e0 talons par exemple. Et je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re la qualit\u00e9 \u00e0 la quantit\u00e9. J\u2019ai toujours aim\u00e9 les belles mati\u00e8res, les belles coupes, mais surtout, les choses simples. Je porte peu de motifs, disons qu\u2019ils sont \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s simples : des pois ou des rayures, je crois que c\u2019est tout. Enfin, je suis le genre de nana qui pr\u00e9f\u00e8re \u00e9conomiser pour s\u2019acheter une belle pi\u00e8ce plut\u00f4t que trois pour le m\u00eame prix. Et en terme de durabilit\u00e9, c\u2019est bien plus rentable car la majorit\u00e9 de mes pi\u00e8ces favorites sont encore en tr\u00e8s bon \u00e9tat. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2664.jpg\" alt=\"L\u00e9a-Elisabeth French Girl Style\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2667\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2664.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2664-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2664-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"quelles-sont-tes-essentiels-garde-de-robe\">Quelles sont tes \u00ab essentiels \u00bb garde de robe?<\/h3>\n<p>Difficile \u00e0 dire car presque toutes mes pi\u00e8ces sont assez classiques donc je les consid\u00e8re toutes comme des essentiels.

I did all of my studies in Bordeaux \u2013 well, nearly, because since January I had the chance to live for a few months in Paris to do an internship. Right now, I\u2019m in the middle of preparing my luggage to return to Bordeaux. I have to say that this Parisian experience was really nice: I met so many cool women and I discovered new incredible places.

I rarely wear skirts as I much prefer pants. I love to mix styles : wearing men\u2019s jackets with heeled boots, for example. I prefer quality over quantity. I have always loved beautiful materials, beautiful cuts, and especially simple things. I wear few patterns, or you could say I wear really simple patterns: polka dots or stripes, that\u2019s pretty much all. Basically, I\u2019m the type of girl who prefers to save up to buy one beautiful piece rather than three pieces for the same amount of money. In terms of durability, it\u2019s way more beneficial because the majority of my favorite pieces are still in really good condition. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-are-your-wardrobe-essentials\">What are your wardrobe essentials?<\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s hard to say because nearly all my pieces are classic, so I consider them all essentials. But I think I could not do without : my beige trench coat that I thrifted at a second-hand shop, my raw-hem Levi\u2019s 501 jeans, my Figaret button-up shirts (in blue and in white!), my Cafune bucket bag, or my black Claudie Pierlot boots. These are timeless pieces and I think that even in 10 years, they will still be impressive.  <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-are-your-beauty-essentials\">What are your beauty essentials?<\/h3>\n<p>For many years, I have bought my skincare and haircare products at the pharmacy. I really love the pink clay mask by Cattier, Bioderma\u2019s micellar water, the Phyto hair mask, and the Castor oil by Natessance for using on my hair once a month. In terms of make-up, I avoid too many layers, and I love products by Mac. I wear their mineral powder, their peach colored blush, and their matte lipstick in \u201cChili.\u201d My mascara is from Lanc\u00f4me!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2678.jpg\" alt=\"L\u00e9a-Elisabeth French girl style\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2667\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2678.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2678-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2678-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-is-french-style-for-you-do-you-have-any-advice-for-women-getting-started-with-the-french-style\">What is \u201cFrench style\u201d for you?

As for my bag, I\u2019d choose the Num\u00e9ro 1 bag from Pol\u00e8ne, in the &#8220;Terre de Sienne&#8221; color. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Saturday with your friends<\/strong>: A two-piece suit made of black velvet by Idano, an off-white satin tank top from Intimissimi, a pair of red patent leather boots from Bershka, and my Louis Vuitton clutch. <\/li>\n<li><strong>A first date<\/strong>:  For the first date, you can\u2019t put too much effort in, so I would say : a raw-edge jean from Levi\u2019s with the matching jean jacket, a romantic lace shirt by Rouje, and a pair of little black low-heels by Jonak. As for the bag, a little rocker-style clutch by Zadig et Voltaire in brown suede. <\/li>\n<li><strong>A special dinner or party<\/strong>: In general, I take advantage of special events to wear the dresses in my closet, so : a long black wrap dress embellished with some small pearls by Tara Jarmon, paired with my gold heeled sandals from Carel and a black pearl bag from Zara. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2776.jpg\" alt=\"L\u00e9a-Elisabeth French girl style\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2666\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2776.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2776-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thefrench.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lea-Elisabeth_IMG_2776-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"where-do-you-find-inspiration-for-your-outfits\">Where do you find inspiration for your outfits?<\/h3>\n<p>I find inspiration in magazines, art exhibitions, on Instagram, but also in the street and from people around me.

In hindsight, I find that the lifestyle is really different than in the capital, although some people say Bordeaux is the \u201clittle version of Paris!\u201d <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"your-best-friend-is-coming-to-bordeaux-for-the-day-where-do-you-take-them\">Your best friend is coming to Bordeaux for the day. Where do you take them?<\/h3>\n<p>We would start by having breakfast at Place du Parlement, then we would go walking in the centre ville to do a little shopping. Midday, depending on our hunger, we would go either to eat a salad in Place des Grands Hommes, a tajine on the sidewalk at Place Saint Michel, or Italian food at Gambetta. Then, we would go walking at the public garden to take advantage of the beautiful Botanic Garden that I love so much. Next, right near the garden, I would show her the heart of Chartrons, a neighborhood dear to my heart, where I spent several years. We would go to Place des Chartrons to have a drink, then walk along the riverbanks to watch the sun begin to set. To finish, we would go towards Les Halles de Bacalan, near the Cit\u00e9 du Vin to try some tapas, have a few glasses of wine, and watch the sun set!
