June Gloom and Summer Style in FRNCH

A sneek peek at the jumpsuit of my dreams, coming soon to the FRNCH Summer 2021 Collection.

Summer style is officially on the horizon. Even though June is considered a downer of a month in Southern California—“June Gloom” as it’s (un)popularly known—I’m not afraid to admit that it’s actually one of my favorite seasons.

Living in a region that sees sunshine on average 284 days of the year can drive one to temporary fits of madness that include yearning for a little precipitation here and there. As someone who lives for the gray skies and general moodiness of Paris, June is often as close as one can get around here. Finding oneself stuck in a spontaneous thunderstorm and ducking into a brasserie for an unexpected verre du vin to sip on as la pluie passes is practically unheard of in these parts. The cloudy days of June, reserved for nothing but cocooning—as the Frenchies say—and just being generally morose, are ones that I personally cherish for my own sanity and self care. Even in sunny California, no one can be “on” constantly, and every once in a while it’s ok to hit the reset button on our moods.

One particular brand that knows plenty about Parisian pouting is FRNCH—one of my favorites, and I hope one of yours. The Summer collection of this French favorite is nothing short of brilliant, and if you’re one of the eager-to-travel bunch who will be on the first flight to Paris as soon as De Gaulle airport will have us, you’ll want to get your wardrobe ready in advance.

Consider this a preview of the most coveted (yet to be released) jumpsuit, that even the most parsimonious Parisian would be hard pressed to pass up. With lettuce bib sleeves, subtle texturing, and on-trend wide leg trousers, this onesie plays so perfectly with proportions, I couldn’t believe it hadn’t been tailored just for me. We all have our magical Cinderella moments when a dream piece fits perfectly right off the rack, and this was mine. Petite as I am, the hem length hits perfectly with a low heel, and I couldn’t be happier.

Shop this Zara Spring Sweater Set & TCA x Kollectin Boutique

Printemps is in the air, and I’m loving this new two-piece knit set from Zara Spring Collection 2021. It may look like your garden variety spring sweater, but—quel surprise!—the billowy balloon sleeves are separate from the bodice, giving the illusion of a classic chunky knit.

Btw, I was back in the studio with Kollectin shooting some of their newest pieces, which you can find in The Chic American x Kollectin boutique. Take a closer look at the gems below, and download the Kollectin app to shop.
