Fashion Crush: Sonia Rykiel

How can you not love Sonia Rykiel?

She creates sexy clothes for sexy women who know how to have fun. Quite the sexy woman herself, Rykiel’s signature look has inspired a thousand portraits. After Coco she is the only one to have added her own twist on the idea of the modern French woman.

Oh yeah, and she practically invented stripes. What more do you need ?

    I love Sonia! Sadly, as I type this, I sit with a broken foot and many more weeks of wearing an air-cast ahead of me. Why? Because my Sonia Rykiel for H&M wedge-heeled sandals have a very slippery sole and my workplace has very slippery floors. A bad combo, it seems: down I went and “snap!” went my foot. Boo-hoo! (Is it wrong that I still love the shoes?)
