I like the splash of color added to her black on black, but have to say that I almost wish her bag was a bit smaller and didn’t repeat the shape of the dress. The gisl is simply gorgeous.
Effortlessly chic indeed … I love the combination of a black dress + black bag with red shoes. Also, I think she looks a bit like Bjork — which adds to her charm.
Simply not feeling this “bubble” thing but admit to have given it a chance earlier this summer.
With the cut of the dress’ upper portion, it would have been nice to make this more sporty by wearing a bag or small backpack with the same/similar asymmetry in its shoulder strap.
Amazing!,I love it,some of the photos have so many different combos going on that it’s beyond me but this I get,simple,elagant but still it has alot of spunk. KK. I big fan
Though I love the red shoes and the full skirt-part of the dress, the upper part looks strangely ‘bare’. Not in a sense of naked- or even emptiness, but… Can’t explain, maybe it would feel different if she wore her hair open?
I think she looks great, and I love the dress. Yeah, maybe the bag isn’t perfect, but you know, that’s life — we don’t always have the perfect bag for every outfit. In a way, it makes me like this picture even more and even contributes to the effortless-ness of this look.
Love the dress on her, you have to be that skinny/flat chested to wear a dress like that though, otherwise you’ll just end up looking like a balloon. Believe me.
Maybe I’ve been in Japan too long, but I’m starting to realize that you can look feminine (or in this case, badass) and put together without always showing off your waistline. Even when you have a perfect figure like this lady. Great find.
She looks great. Her dress is fab – so simple yet utterly fabulous. I like the splash of colour of her red sandals. Mind you – you could dress it up with heels and wedges, and it’d look great too.

She looks cute and comfortable.
I like the pop of color in the shoes.
I think that her hair is a bit severe combined with the lines of the bag and dress. I’d love to see her with a softer do.
Nice easy summer look.

If the bag were the same shade of black as the dress,this could be ok despite the fact that the bag is too huge for this little lady.

When you have luminous skin like that, this is exactly how to dress it…simple, clean, understated…drawing attention to that beautiful skin.

Not really effortless. The lines of her face, her colours are reflected by the dress, the bag, the shoes. Great, breathtaking, perfect.

i’m with rina. she is really cute, but i think she would look even cuter with something more suitable tailored for her figure around her shoulders.

I love the dress and hair. Very cool and neat. The bag is worrisome however. I expect to see a little dog peeking out.

but, the bag belongs in storage for the winter months…

I love to think about the difference between European women and American women when it comes to beauty and style and this is a great study.
American women are obsessesed with status bags, hair and makeup and not so much on just how the clothing fits the body.
In comparison, she is sort of unadorned, which is fabulous. This requires knowing your body and being able to know when to stop.
A smashing body, great dress and simpple shoes. Not too much hair and makeup and jewelry. It is what makes a woman look young.
Great one. She’s, for lack of a better word, hot.

Is it just me or does she look like Bjork?
