I love and hate everything about her. She would be in front of me a the icecream stall. She would be walking ahead in the dusk on the pier with her sister in law. She would be putting the beach bags in the back of the car at the end of the day and take so long to leave the car park. She would have the best night at a seafood restaurant with all of the family. She sould not get up until 10 am and I would see her putting the milk bottles out when I came back with pain au chocolats and nectarines.
She is perfect to me — perfect amount of makeup, color, accessories, freckles, eyebrows, pale fingernails. This is a look from which everyone could learn and take a piece!
i love the head scarf. it looks great on her blonde hair! the bangles give the outfit a very very good touch. shame we couldn’t see the red of her and the background.
i would personally pass the stripey black and white top.
haven’t been here in a while. things are lookin’ fine mr satorialist! :D see you in another 2-3 days/week.
Great picture! Like the outfit, especially the way the trousers button up, and her use of multicolor bracelets and the scarf to finish up what would otherwise be a predictable color selection. Love the pose also- very pin-up and fun. Hope you are having a wonderful visit, even though you are working. Jorge from West Palm Beach
A glowing beauty, dressed for summer! Every detail is charming. Subtle nails and makeup, dazzling smile, arty jewelry, pulled back hair–this a great way way to liven up the classic top.
I would love to see the length of these pants. Cropped with sandals? Long and wide with heels?
love it, love it. esp the stripey top with the print of the scarf on her head; she makes it interesting but still keeps it clean. i wish i could see more of the bottoms — pants? shorts?
this is maybe the best pic ever on the blog. the reason- her unabashed beautiful pose. “I”m lovely!” she says. “And I love it!” No pretending to be shy or cutesy little girl stances. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy for this woman. I wish we all felt like her!
So cool, this woman could have been a model for Matisse- the Femmes Antillaises series–
And very South of France: the stripes, the Fitzgerald era high waisted pants and the Provencal/African head wrap, the perfect skin! Very inspiring Scott, merci!
She’s beautiful! I love the printed scarf with the striped top, as well as the chunky ring and bracelets with the delicate necklace. Great lipstick color, too.
Im liking that the black stripes are thicker than the white ones, im very into striped shirts atm, and trying to find as much different kinds as possible, there are more kinds of black white stripes than I initially imagined
i like that everything about her is simple – hair color, make up, and her light & neutral nail polish. i don’t think this look would be the same without the lipstick, her tan, her jewelry, and that smile.
Wonderful! She’s got a fresh, modern take on a 50′s movie star thing going on. I wish I could see how she’s knotted the scarf around her head – I’ve tried this many times times but can’t quite get the knot right.
she could be a peasant from the 16th century in such a contemporary way. beautiful, all of her, the stance, the lighting, her accessories, her smile, so earthy.
This photograph fulfills a little hole in me where beauty and happiness and the feeling of being fully alive reside. I can’t tell where the beauty of the photograph ends and the beauty of the subject begins.
Iconic image – looking at her in her trim striped shirt, print scarf like a blossom over her ear, the jewelry, sailor fly – and the sheer adorableness of her pose – I feel happy just to look at her. Her look is simple, personal and witty. Wow!
The shirt, pants and red lips evoke a timeless and classy look while her scarf, ring, and bracelets add a bit of hippie fun. It is the confident smile and carefree pose that bring the two styles together beautifully.
For those of you who sew (or who have someone to sew for you), HotPatterns has a pants pattern with exactly this front waist detailing. No affiliation, just a happy customer who hopes to make these pants next month!
Perfect shot! Perfect ring. Perfect combination of bracelets. Her lipstick. Her beach-ready look. She’s absolutely glowing like no one else I have ever seen on this site. Well done!
beautiful, she looks like a heroine from a book. or a film. I really like the way she wears etnic accesories, not too much, just enough to point out her etnic origin. lovely.
I’m in love! And have a new way to wear my scarf when summer comes to the Great Lakes. Timeless, beautiful and NO PLEATS – she’s a woman after my own heart.
Question: Is it titled Hyeres Femme because you’re assuming she’s from France, or because the way she dresses is very French, or what we would expect from a French girl? She’s a journalist from Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan. (OK, given, she doesn’t need to be from that country because she works there, buuuuuuuuut…) [just asking.] Answer please.
beautiful! She looks almost like a vanity fair cover shot.. if only she was famous. Bright and Breezy comes to mind with this picture. I can’t wait for summer to come to London!!
Wow. Her face is flawless and the outfit is just divine in its simplicity. I don’t know if many people could wear it as well. Just looking at her smile and the whole photo makes me happy.
Wow. I am stunned. I mean, gee… what a shot! What sense of style. So great, everything is great about this picture I wish I had made it. And the pose… the pose! What a pose!
