Charlotte Casiraghi+ Gucci= Love

Here is a sneak peek of Charlotte Casiraghi for Gucci. I am so excited to see the whole campaign- I can't even tell you. I just love her. 

HOW DID I MISS THIS?!

On October 9th Charlotte Casiraghi (aka. my personal style icon) attended a private viewing held at Alexander Dellal's gallery. Here she is pictured with Alexander's sister Charloote Dellal (aka. the designer behind Charlotte Olympia). I adore the shoes on these women! I would be happier if my favorite princess was wearing Charlotte Olympia BUT the fact that she's wearing Mui Mui (my new Italian obsession) fills me with joy.... Besides which I still have the picture below to covet.

I love this photo, taken at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on October 2nd; moreover, I love that Charlotte is a Princess AND that she is rocking a super appropriate (take note Kate: you can wear an over the knee dress, be appropriate and still be stylish AND age appropriate) dress but that she is keeping it young through her accessories. 

Firstly, this is how to rock a Charlotte Olympia heel. They are SO high that they could look incredibly skanky if paired with the wrong outfit HOWEVER with a just below, or just above, the knee skirt or dress they just funk it up (see Charlotte C below and Charlotte D above). Secondly, this is how to match your accessories without being super matchy. I love how the shoes aren't all one color, the beige platform breaks it up and makes it interesting rather than obvious when paired with the matching purse.

And just a closer look at that ADORABLE Chanel purse.... love, love, LOVE. There are SO many pastels coming for cruise this year and a lot of pinks- I just cannot wait.

And now finally one of Charlotte and Alexander... because I'm just a huge softy.

Charlotte Casiraghi shows us how to rock a romper

I know it's the beginning of winter HOWEVER I am currently preping for another trip to Nigeria, ergo I have bikinis on my mind (.... and running and abs and general toning) and resultantly coverups. So this picture from August 5th of Charlotte Casiraghi seemed perfect, because is there anything more perfect than this girl's style- even her beach style?! The romper, the scarf, THE BAG!, the body, the sunglasses- I covet them all, massively!

Carlotte Casiraghi's Equestrian Style

Dear Hermes, I have wanted a Hermes belt for awhile. I placed an order a few months ago because you had no stock in store. I begeth you, when will the belt come in?! I need it in m life. BIG TIME!

Such a beautiful family of chins!

One of my favorite photos of her!

 Young royal ♥, how much would I have ADORED to have seen a photo of Will and Kate like this.

 OH MY GOSH!!! Charlotte Casiraghi AND a puppy. Could my life be any more complete?!

 Picture of WASP perfection.

Charlotte Casiraghi vs. Kim Kardashan: how to NOT wear Gucci.

So this is how to wear Gucci, courtesy of Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco. I think the skirt looked better on the runway, just because it clearly is not intended for practical use BUT I totally adore the top. I think is looks amazing on her, showing us those amazing collar and breast bones WITHOUT being overly revealing (again, Kate Middleton take note this is how you do modern sexy as a Princess). And of course the color.... purple, it's just ah-may-zang!

As you can see from this runway photo the skirt looks significantly better, seemingly simply due to the fact that the skirt is not intended for practical use. 

Annnnnnnnd this is how NOT to wear Gucci, as modeled by Kim Kardashian OR alternatively how to look like a stuffed sausage IN Gucci, by Kim Kardashian (you know the girl loves a good branding opportunity!). Why on earth did she wear this?! It looks so uncomfortable, honestly in the second photo it looks like her flesh is literally fighting to get out of the belted area (and somewhat succeeding). Ughhhh it's just almost so bad I want to keep looking but I have to look away because it's not even that I'm being mean I just feel like it must literally be painful the outfit is so ill fitting.

Charlotte Casiraghi: Royal Street Style Edition

About Charlotte Casiraghi

Charlotte Casiraghi  is currently fourth in line to the throne of Monaco, as the second child of Caroline Princess of Hanover and Hereditary Princess of Monaco. Her maternal grandmother was Grace Kelly.

Charlotte is a private citizen but attends official functions in Monaco. Her mother attempted to minimize publicity for these regular family appearances, despite increasingly intense coverage by the mass media, particularly in Europe. 

Charlotte is an avid equestrian and participates in the Global Champions Tour. This role also coincides with her position as the official equestrian "ambassador" for Gucci. For her competitions the creative director of Gucci (Frida Giannini) designs her bespoke clothes which are never retailed for the general public. 

Charlotte is a published writer and magazine editor having worked for AnOther magazine, the Sunday supplement to the British Independent, her position as editor- at- large of Above magazine and co founder of Ever Manifesto (which has not closed). 

Charlotte is dating Alex Dellal, the British curator and owner of 20 Hoxton Square (a large gallery space), and has been since 2007. His sister (model Alex Dellal) alluded to the fact that they might soon marry.

Why I ADORE her

So Charlotte is the original Kate Middleton. She brings a normal touch to the world of European royalty. Plus she is European's first brunette of royal hotness. What I love about her though is not just her toned physique, her fabulous hair, her chiseled chin... I also love that she brings a bit of sex appeal. She's not afraid of bare legs, high heels or short skirts and Kate could take a few tips from her.

 She smokes in public, ♥ it. Kate and Will take notes please. Setting a good example doesn't mean you have to be totally unaccessible or totally fake. 

 Sex on the beach.

 Such beautiful facial features. It's not surprising that she is the grad child of Grace Kelly. 

 I ♥ those royal collarbones and that tiny waist. Stunning.

 Pink, florals, adorable. 

 And again those collar bones! So stunning and her chin. I ♥ her chin. What gorgeous bone structure. 

 Note to Kate: Royals CAN and SHOULD embrace sexy heels. True story.

 Alright so there's nothing I adore more than protruding chest bones. I won't lie. They might be collarbones, breast bones or chest bones.... I adore them all, true story. I won't lie her breast bone in this photo looks a bit frightening but I'm kind of hoping that its just a huge pimple because it looks a bit weird. I also love that she has a pashmina in her hands. Key European necessity.

 That chin!!!!

 Such laid back chic. What are the chances that you'd see a member of the British Royal family in leather.... or waiting for a train?

 Charlotte and Stella. Love these two stunning and fashionable women and friends.

 Such a sweet couple. 

 Charlotte and Franca Sozanni (editor of Italian Vogue). ♥ the adorable blazer/ coat. So stunning. So modern, so flattering. 

 Love the hairstyle on the right. Such an interesting  way to rock a braid. 

 And again a royal rocking a designer handbag AND ray bans.... oh please Royals of England take note.

 These photos just show how well she carries herself. Such poise.

 Half royal half walker, I adore her attachment to black. 

 It would be so nice to see other royals replicate this normality. 

 Harem pants and five inch heels. I want to be this kind of royal. 

 Pale pink  AMD leather. Sweet but tough. 

 Showing us why Gucci want to dress this equestrian stunner.

 I'm interested in her hair. I don't know if she's growing out bangs but it's interesting layering.

 She carries her own plastic bags. True.

 Leather pants?!?!?!?! I ♥ her.

She's not afraid to show her knees. Kate Middleton take note, knees are good, GOOD!

 Sometimes she gets wasted with Rosie Huntington- Whitley and gives cameras the sex eyes. Why don't the English monarchs get plastered with models and show us their bedroom eyes. True story!

 She's so shiny. 

 She carries Stella McCartney. Question why can't the British monarchs do the same?! Why don't they give Stella any love, ever. Why?! Have they not seen her pant suits?! 

 Again so sparkly AND shiny. 

 And she hangs out with Vanessa Paradis. Johnny Depp has been in AND insperminated that. 

 This only strengthens my resolve that I need... no I require a red handbag.

 Why being flat is cool

 How to rock a fascinator Monaco styles. 

 I want a white horse!

 I adore, adore, adore those sexy booties.

 Again showing us how to rock leather like a modern princess.

Funky lip color.

 I want her shoe collection!!!

 Who do you want to be more? Charlotte or glossy Mossy or a hybrid spawn. Consider.

 Who needs tiaras when you have a funky cocktail ring and a hair tie!
