Honoré Paris Collection #3 + Giveaway: That "Je Ne Sais Quoi"

... a French term which refers to an indefinable, elusive quality. Literally translated, it reads "I don't know what", much like an X-factor that some people have that keeps you captivated naturally.

So when I saw Honoré Paris's Collection #3, I was struck by how much it reminded me of my all-time favourite fashion blogger (who not-so-coincidentally is French as well), Garance Dore, who embodies just that. I can't even begin to tell you just how inspired I am of the lady; whose a talented fashion illustrator and street style photographer. She is also easily on of the most recognisable style icons of the on- and -offline fashion world.

A continuation from past collections, the style motto remains the same: simplistic, breezy and wearable daily wear. Painting that free-spirited Parisian girl searching for that perfect balance between breathable comfy pieces, and yet versatile enough for to create a myriad of styles with just one piece.

Collection #3 takes you everywhere from work, to a formal dinner and then down to the bar afterwards, with chic silk dresses and blouses. Returning to the roots of the brand’s debut collection, the lookbook features more prints and colours, with new silhouettes like an oversized coat, trousers and dresses... something for each occasion, shot at the stunning and nostalgic Jardin De Luxembourg.

An oversized- blazer is the easiest way to add some boyfriend charm and street-cred to an otherwise predictable outfit. Not only keeps you warm, but also gives that insouciant factor that pulls the look together.

There is no denying that pastels are coming back...stay stylishly demure in a breezy throw-over paired off with black skinnies.

A sundress with a twist...literally. The back detail features a twisted Y-like raceback and a drawstring waistline for definition, a piece that equal parts sexy yet chic. This design is exclusively available only at Rockstar by Soon Lee.

A little bird told me that for a special time only, they are having an exclusive pop-up store at Tangs Vivocity until the end of February. So here is your chance to feel and try on those pieces before purchasing..hurry before they're gone!

Are you that Parisian girl at heart?
