La Redoillon

I was at my mate's house waiting for a friend of hers to come and sort out my hair after a rubbish haircut from my usual man and I saw she had the new La Redoute catologue. I have been burnt many a time by La Redoute (the clothes never look as good in real life as they do in the photos) but as I lazily flicked through the pages, I came across this gorgeous photo shoot featuring Lou Doillon and her Mum, Jane Birkin.
Other than the fact that the two of them are just too gorgeous for their own good, I want everything in the pictures! The clothes are just lovely, slightly quirky yet wearable and so, so cool and the pictures are beautifully set up. I had never seen the attraction in Lou Doillon before, but in these photos she looks stunning.The image that really made me take a good look was this one on the right. I think this is the perfect winter coat, it has a slight vintagy feel to it with the bracelet sleeves, but the proportions also make it feel really modern. Maybe it's the double breasted cut and the mannish cut. I think this would be such a versatile coat. Here in the image it's worn over a floaty dress but I can imagine it working beautifully over skinny jeans. The coat is by Isabel Marant, whose clothes I've never really noticed before but who now I will be watching like a hawk! The jeans in the photo to the left are fab too. they are by a company called Used who I don't know, the cut is super skinny and rock chickish. I think Lou looks gorgeous in this photo too, very much the hipster that she is, she looks very natural, and shit, I'd kill for her legs! The last photo I've picked are these lovely tan sandals. I am constantly on the look out for the perfect tan sandal and I think these might be them. They have an almost bondage feel to them but paired with the thick grey speckled socks in this pic, they look almost schoolgirlish. I've always thought tan looked great with grey ribbed socks but this takes it to another level. Check out the rest of the shoot in the catalogue!
