Get The Beatnik Look With Slim Black Jeans & Parisienne Touches

Black and white stripes, black skinnies, ballet pumps and bongos… oh là là I've gone all Crackpot way on you.

There couldn't exist a more uncomplicated (and stylish) await to emulate than the await which is beautifully summed up in this clip of Audrey Hepburn dancing in the movie Funny Face – gotta love her.

Then when Wallis asked me to review a pair of jeans from their 216 Denim Collection, I went for the Black Slim Leg Jeans, which I specifically chose for two reasons: 1. I've been hankering after dresses worn over jeans a lot lately, and so I thought the flat forepart and nil on the side would exist perfect for creating a smoothen silhouette, and 2. My ballet pumps have been crying out for the perfect pair of fitted blackness jeans merely to get the Beatnik expect for ages. And I'm pleased to say they fitted similar a dream! Comfy with plenty of stretch, no gaping on the waist and beautifully polish for layering. The rest of the outfit was easy: Ray-Bans, Breton stripes, a vintage head scarf and bongos (which I'k learning to play. Slowly).

I have to mention the beautiful vintage scarf: this was a birthday nowadays – run across the pictures below for what the pattern looks like. How appropriate that the Eiffel Belfry is on it, considering I think Beatnik style is merely and so French, mes chéris! If you want to become an Eiffel Tower scarf similar to mine, click here for ones you tin buy on Etsy, there'southward some existent vintage beauties there.

It may not look like information technology, but I was really playing (probably desperately) the bongos when the photos were taken… it'due south something that I've ever, always, wanted to learn to do. Non really a bucket list matter, merely more than of a hankering to learn a new skill that would surprise people. How about y'all – any weird and wonderful new skills y'all're hankering to learn?  Practice share them in the comments!
