I'm flattered! I'm not sure if I have the innocent quirkiness to pull off true gamine style, but it's certainly a look that I love.</p> <p>I used to follow a young German woman who had a blog under the name strawberrykittensplayground, who had incredibly creative gamine style - unfortunately she stopped blogging and removed her blog. But a Google image search turned up some archives that you might find inspiring:</p> <p><a href="http://legacyentries.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com/20080608011611.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://legacyentries.weheartit.....011611.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3pdAOSBog/SU5l530QfhI/AAAAAAAACxM/Ak8ah8pzcXc/s400/orange+seventies+flickr.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3p.....flickr.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3pdAOSBog/SU5m0WKcV_I/AAAAAAAACxU/8mXEeGnkaBs/s400/seventies+flickr.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3p.....flickr.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5eimbOvYwwU/R2PXohPw6LI/AAAAAAAAAhs/qidFTZ4Po08/s1600/19112007.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5eim.....112007.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5mdHEmc-k/SYJADnsMbtI/AAAAAAAAALg/JeXJ9bcdkec/s1600-h/strawberrykittens-playground+6" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5m.....ayground+6</a><br /> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5mdHEmc-k/SYI_YndED-I/AAAAAAAAALI/1sRznjk3CQs/s1600-h/strawberrykittens-playground+3" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5m.....ayground+3</a><br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5mdHEmc-k/SYI_Y_nQ5iI/AAAAAAAAALY/nd_FdHuroZo/s1600-h/strawberrykittens-playground+5" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5m.....ayground+5</a><br /> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5mdHEmc-k/SYI_Y42bGWI/AAAAAAAAALQ/suNPopTJHL0/s1600-h/strawberrykittens-playground+4" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oK5m.....ayground+4</a><br /> <a href="http://www.ninkybink.com/index.php/weblog/strawberry_kitten_new_illustrations/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ninkybink.com/index.....strations/</a></p> <p>She was a very sweet blogger and I miss her style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-445446 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:54:53 +0000 Lisa 445446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question.

I think your style is very much like Suz describes--simple and elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-444886 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:04:28 +0000 Suz 444886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breton stripes. Simple, often slim, bottoms. Ballet flats (or similar). Scarves. A trench. That's the formula (or part of it, at least!) </p> <p>The hair (short or long) showcases your face and is unfussy. No obvious styling. </p> <p>DEFINITELY appeals to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-444873 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:41:56 +0000 celia 444873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, post went wrong.I was saying that if you Google Audrey Tautou she has two shorter haircuts that might inspire you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-444871 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:40:12 +0000 celia 444871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you Google Audrey Ta </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-444868 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:31:26 +0000 celia 444868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I surely don't have audrey body type but tend to that style more than other.And I also don't have a short hairdo.<br /> You already have a short haircut, right?<br /> How was the one you saw?short?curly?straight? With bangs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-444859 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:21:34 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 444859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I was thinking of it more generally, as an idea about where I want my style to go. I did see a gal on TV today who had the exact haircut I wanted - too bad I couldn't take a picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-443869 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:07:35 +0000 Anonymous 443869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Audrey Hepburn always comes to mind when I hear the word gamine. Are there any ladies on YLF whose haircuts you like? I think Suz and citigirl both have a hairstyle that could lean in this direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-eurochic-what-about-french-gamine#post-443864 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:01:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 443864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about what I want my new haircut to be, and came up with the descriptor French gamine. (Not sure if a tall plus size can be gamine, but anyway...) I'm sure it's more of an abstract idea than an accurate description of actual French women.</p> <p>To me it's slightly different to eurochic - more colors, less neutrals, a bit more feminine but not fussy. Traditional silhouettes but nothing too done up, somehow has a practical edge kinda like the English country house look but not as rural, more urban. </p> <p>If you google there's a raft of pictures that come up, but I'm not sure which are best indicative of the style. What do you think, is my description a good one? Is this a style that appeals to you? </p>
