There’s something about Karen Elson in those YSL ads that has been captivated. And with a little flourish of purple and a red lip, who says you can’t have some Parisian chic in the dreariest month in Toronto? Start with this violet dress from Shopbop (www.shopbop.com) which you’ll pair with some suded purple ankle-strap J.Lo shoes (www.zappos.com). Hey, I know the shoes are J. Lo, but she likely doesn’t even look at the sketches let alone design them, so it doesn’t count. Pair with fishnets a la YSL runway and striking red nails and a precise red lip.
The best part? You won’t even have to assume a teeth-grinding snarl to suggest your supremacy.
