She's in Vogue

Style Crush Warning! In the past few days Emmanuelle Alt has taken over from Carine Roitfeld as editor in chief of French Vogue. She is the epitome of Parisienne chic with her fierce style. She seems to unfalteringly champion the skinny trousered wide leg stance with a powerful jacket and killer heels along with a virtually makeup free face.

I think her look is superb; it appears thrown together in nonchalance, but mais non! This is low key Paris style at it's very best...

Emmanuelle makes a leopard coat look so chic...a challenge too hard for many mere mortals.

Her daughter Francoise may be the most stylish tot in the world, in a sophisticated French way, not a Suri Cruise princess-y way! I love her mini trench, rolled up jeans and ballet pumps...adorable.

Emmanuelle and Francoise looking chic yet real at a fashion event together. Now there's a little girl to watch as she grows up!

Carine Leaves The Building

After 10 years at the helm of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld is leaving to mysterious pastures new. Previously a model and talented stylist, she graduated to editor-in-chief of the world's most chic title. Along the way she became VBF with Tom Ford - someone she is suspected to be collaborating with now. Rumours are abounding about her career intentions but no doubt they will be under wraps until she chooses to release the truth.

I love this shot of her by The Sartorialist; a divine ensemble and a fantastic way to wear fur. It should be fake of course, however it is probably real....but it's definitely beautiful ( and is that a plaster on her knee?!)

Carine's star will continue to rise with many of us below looking upwards to her for inspiration.

Bon chance Carine!
