Inspired by: Something in the Air (Après Mai)

Set in the early '70s during the student movement in France, the film "Something in the Air" is beautifully shot and well outfitted with a great soundtrack (and perfectly messy hair). Really loving this time for Indian dresses and breezy shirts - with an army jacket like the one that is seen on the main character Gilles (below).

Inspired by: La Marinière

Marinière, striped shirts are a rather obvious piece of clothing to be inspired by -- but still deserve plenty of praise as a must-have staple in every garconne's closet. Armor Lux and Saint James are the top picks for quality, comfort, and authenticity.

Bags of Summer

Lee Ann's vintage Kelly with long canvas sports strap and Kristin's African woven shoulder sac


These two bags represent both ends of the spectrum. Adding a long cross-body strap is a great way to make a  high-end bag easier to wear and more casual for summer. The woven African bag is a timeless choice for an Annie Hall-spirited look.
