Autumn Inspiration: Une Femme est une Femme


What's your favourite source of Autumn fashion tips? When I see the leaves turning golden brown and feel the first nip in the air, my thoughts turn to coloured tights, cardigans, macs, brollies... and Une Femme est une Femme. While far from being my favourite Jean-Luc Godard picture (in fact, I find it a bit annoying), it totally channels these things in the red and blue combo I love so. Plus, I can't hide the fact that I have a major girl-crush on Anna Karina, Godard's muse who married him during the film's production. This year it's providing inspiration aplenty for my sewing wish list...


... a checked drindl skirt with cinched-in waist (that top is a cardigan worn back-to-front, by the way)...


... faux fur collar for my coat...


... pencil skirts...


... teamed with red tights, bien sûr...


... soft white coat...


... and... okay, so maybe it would be going a bit far to make this. But the colour combo is dreamy!

Do you have a favourite Autumn inspiration movie?
