La Piscine

Recently I watched Jacques Deray's 1969 film 'La Piscine' as it stars one of my style icons Jane Birkin. Apart from the beautiful cinematic landscapes and the gripping plot, what really stuck with me was the chic costumes of Romy Schneider and Jane Birkin. Romy's character oozes elegance with her simple swimwear and backless evening dresses whilst Jane's short girlish dresses and skirts accessorised with sunglasses and her infamous basket are simple but ultimately sexy.

As Autumn is upon us these dreamy stills from the film will give you a much needed dose of sun. Now to find a black gingham dress so I can pretend I'm in the south of France...

Wish List 007:

001: Topshop Knitted Fluffy Crop Jumper - I love cropped jumpers and I have my favorite red one from last year but I'm really diggin' this blue mohair style ice blue one. It's just sickly sweet enough without being too Dolores Umbridge.

002: New Look Tapestry A-line Skirt - I think A-line skirts are so flattering and look nice all year round but especially with woolly tights. The pattern also reminds me of a Liberty's sofa my family had when I was younger.

003: M&S Monk Boots - I'm always looking for things that make me look more like the 5th member of The Beatles and these boots definitely would. Annoyingly the're not leather but I love them anyway.
