5000 Posts and 18 000 followers later, I am dumbfounded by the way this page has grown and has inspired many people to stay true to themselves and continuously explore the beauty of everyday life. I have accomplished many dreams and goals set for this Tumblr and have had the opportunity to engage with an awe-inspiring community of people online. However, all good things have to come to an end and Skirtmag has been superb towards me. I am so thankful and grateful to everyone who has interacted with Skirtmag and is following the page. I will truly always be inspired by the heroes of Skirtmag and its community, but it is time to make room for new adventures, in the words of Elin Kling. This is not goodbye, but rather the beginning of a journey into another creative bracket of the world Skirtmag comes from. The spirit of the Skirtmag woman will live on, and I hope you all continue to identify her in the world and in yourselves. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the creation of beautiful ideas. Merci Infinitely!!! Loads of love and à bientôt

Daily AM and PM routine using Thomsen Beauty along with some additional tips

Three steps : Cleanse, Hydrate et Refine.

The most important thing - wash your face every morning and every night before sleep with the foaming cleanser, Azur, which provides deep cleansing of dead skin cells, pollutants and makeup, without drying your skin.

Right after the cleansing - use the beauty mist, Brume to rebalance the skin’s natural pH and to prepare the skin for treatment.

The best part of this ritual - the face massage (2 minutes at least with circular movements) with the oil serum Regina which activates the radiance of the skin. Concentrated in natural active ingredients and vitamin E.

During day time, use the daily moisturizer, Riviera or Paloma, it protects from pollution and keeps your skin hydrated :) Et voilà

The Founders of Thomsen Beauty on the inspiration behind their brand

"A few years ago we started to change our beauty practices, and to look for more sustainable beauty products. We were kind of fed up by the global beauty industry; both in terms of production, and quality of their offer. But at the time we couldn’t quite find 100% natural products that were up to our standards of efficacy and quality on the market, so we took the decision to start Thomsen for women who wanted to take care of themselves without risking their health and the environment."

An Iconic love story with a promising future depicted in the eyes of Rouje Paris in the Style Icon editorial. This campaign is somewhat of a belles-lettres  to the “American Love Story” presenting to us a collection inspired by CBK and JFK in with references filled with admiration for the power couple. Casting Hedi Segalen as JFKJR and Mathilda Galmot as Carolyn Bessette the campaign appears to have been shot in Paris, however it perfectly translates the New York-centric spirit of the Kennedys in the 90s also making it almost impossible to distinguish between actual images of the couple and the Style Icon campaign. Needless to say the clothes are to die for, a minimal array of pieces like the Robe Inès (pictured), the Carrie skirt and overcoats like the Marceau, Samuel and Renaud, elongated, flowy, relaxed and belted to perfectly represent the spirit and aura of the Style Icon, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy……. And not to forget the matching JFKJR, which I am sure we can all agree we love!

This is an artist like no other, John Glacier. I discovered her music because of a track she did with Babyfather called MANNA. Her verse is so enigmatic and mysterious in such an effortless manne. Her input perfectly complimented the whole mood and subject of the song. She gave the track such a peotic swagger and really make the ambiance quite deep and dreamlike without being too hazy. Right there I knew I was in for what was going to be an incredible discovery. No article can do her music the deserved justice or give her the proper acclaim. All that can be said is give her music a listen and feel for yourself.

Emily Marant in À Paris 

There are many reasons as to why you should read À Paris. Not only does the book provide insight to Paris through the eyes of Jeanne Damas & Lauren Bastide, it is also a remarkable Ode to the city, celebrating the stories and lives of women in the city. It is admittedly not what most people would expect from reading it, with its goodwill and wholesome quality. Without spoiling anything, I will state how much it can change your perspective and expectations on the city of Paris. Not only will you feel like you get it, you will feel like you got keys how to experience Paris. Not to mention how Jeanne follow-up release, La Vie en Rouje does not disappoint either, we can be assured how much pleasure we take from being a part of this Histoire.

Sir Terence Conran’s country house shot by Lord Snowdon

The Conrans’ country house, Barton Court, was built in 1772 for Admiral Lord Dundas: a typical, red-brick, early Georgian house of five bays with a projecting central open-pedimented entrance front, enhanced by round-headed windows in the upper storeys. Barton Court is neither a stately home, demanding ceaseless expenditure for its upkeep, nor, on the other hand, a country cottage too small for the lively Conran circle.

Jeanne and Nina take New York by storm for Rouje Fall/Winter 23

It is no question whether we are here for Rouje FW23 or not. Jeanne Damas and her team prioritise consistency like Parisian patissiers trying to make the world's most perfect macaron. Rouje drops are like a marvellous fashion buffet with the best cuts for dresses, knits and jeans and the cutest and most desirable accessories. This Fall Winter 2023 collection is nothing short of that Maison Ladurée level of consistency. The creative direction of this launch is off the charts with Jeanne Damas and Artist, Rouje muse, her best friend Nina Koltchitskaia, taking the Big Apple by Storm as the two Frenchies capture the atmosphere of New York City from JFK to Broome Street. With Rouje Paris having also opened its Soho Boutique in Broome street, Nina painted an exclusive Fresco in the store which is the background to this collection. Rouje describes this collection as an urban and feminine back to school wardrobe, but the versatility in Rouje collections is undisputable. In this collection, we have an impression of a tasteful mix between patent leathers, tube dresses and the spirit of lingerie. These styles and garments brought in their suitcases and perfect for use as uniform to take taxis in and not to forget the boyfriend shirts and extra-raw denim for a perfect stroll on streets of the Lower East Side.

"No more uncomfortable shoes, no more clothes that don’t feel like ‘me’. Dressing for a lifestyle that makes me happy has made me feel more stylish than ever!"

- Lizzy Hadfield 

Ever since Lizzy was a young girl she has been exploring her own personal style. Her journey into loving more androgynous styles started with her wearing more loafers and brogues, which then heavily influenced her style overall.  She describes her Flattered x Lizzy Hadfield collection with three words, minimal, practical, and timeless.

Modern Sportswear.

Founded in 2014, Drôle de Monsieur offers a distinctive and wearable everyday wardrobe, presented as an hommage to iconic sportswear.

The brand’s collections are halfway between fascination for the 70’s and 80’s aesthetic, nostalgia for the 90’s and a true attention to today’s needs, especially comfort. Past and present meet in this wardrobe, with the sophistication of retro silhouettes combined with studied modern cuts and details for everyday wear. A wardrobe that stands out, meant to be on the street, from day to night.
