If A French Fashionista Can Do It...


How are everyone's New Year's Resolutions going? Just thought I'd check in. It is the 7th day of the newest year and on the seventh day the universe created cigarettes, sleeping in past gym time, cheese doodles, beer, and winter sales that could bust a girl's savings account. But, stay strong! There is hope for you and your resolution. Today I present a bit of rare inspiration. Garance Dore, the chic French fashion hunter, illustrator, and creator of her amazing eponymous site, has quit smoking all on her own. No patches, pills, fake puffs, or hypnosis. Now, if a through and through French fashionista, who freely admits that she smoked for years because it was ever so chic, can kick the habit? Anything is possible. You all hold on to the resolutions. You can do it! Read more about Garance's habit going up in smoke here.
