THE CHARMED LIFE.

IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT ACTUALLY WISH I HAD SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE... I KNOW I'M CONSTANTLY WINGING ABOUT HOW UNFAIR IT IS THAT I DON'T LOOK LIKE ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY, MIRANDA KERR OR JESS HART BUT I ALWAYS SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIND CONTENTEDNESS IN THE FACT THAT THEY'RE SUPERMODELS AND, THEREFORE, THEY DON'T HAVE THE FREEDOM TO BINGE ON CHOCOLATE AT WILL  AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY BRAINS.... RIGHT? WELL AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I TELL MYSELF ANYWAY. BESIDES, PUTTING IN 100% AND MAKING SOMETHING OF MY LIFE IS ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES, AS OPPOSED TO APPEARANCE, SO I KEEP ON KEEPING ON WITH THE HOPE THAT I'LL END UP SOMEWHERE I'M PROUD OF.


BUT WHEN I READ THE FEATURE IN VOGUE ABOUT THE COURTIN-CLARINS SISTERS, CLAIRE AND VIRGINIE, I FOUND MYSELF WALLOWING IN SELF-PITY AND THINKING, 'THESE CHICKS ARE LITERALLY LIVING MY DREAM... THESE FREAKING BIATCHES HAVE. IT. ALL.'. 


SO I THINK THEY DESERVE A POST (OR TEN) OF THEIR OWN. I'LL BE STALKING THEM FROM NOW ON. 

F.Y.I. THEY'RE THE GRANDDAUGHTERS OF JACQUES COURTIN-CLARINS, FOUNDER OF CLARINS SKINCARE... BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY'RE 'IT' AS PARISIAN IT GIRLS GET RIGHT NOW AND THEY'RE ALSO STUNNING, SMART, CREATIVE, FREQUENTERS OF THE FRONT ROW AND ALWAYS IMPECCABLY DRESSED. AS IF THAT'S NOT DEPRESSING ENOUGH, THEY DECLINE OFFERS MADE BY LEADING FASHION DESIGNERS TO STAR IN THE LATEST CAMPAIGNS BECAUSE THEY'RE 'TOO BUSY', THEY HAVE A HOUSE IN SAINT-TROPEZ FOR SUMMER AND FASHION HOUSES PRACTICALLY THROW THEIR MERCHANDISE AT THEM.


THEIR STYLE IS ALWAYS CLEAN-CUT; YET STILL EXPERIMENTAL; MIXING CLASSIC PIECES WITH THE MOST COVETED LABELS OF THE MOMENT, OFFERING A FRESH, YOUNG TAKE THE CURRENT TRENDS. 

N.B. THE POINT OF THIS POST WASN'T TO MAKE YOU WANT TO BANG YOUR HEAD AGAINST A BRICK WALL... WHILE I'M TERRIBLY ENVIOUS OF THESE GIRLS I ALSO FIND THEM SUPER INSPIRING. ALL I NEED NOW IS A GRANDDADDY WHO IS A KILLER SKINCARE PIONEER! Pin It
