Erin Wasson recently gave an interesting interview Into The Gloss online Mag recently. Speaking on Isabel Marant the designer de-jour, She says:
' I don’t do the whole Isabel Marant thing. I love her as a person, and I think what she does is fucking amazing, but am I going to buy into a world of a French woman selling me what I grew up with? Do you know what I mean? Am I going to sign up for that? I’m sorry, but I’m not going to spend $1,200 on a Western shirt and go back to Texas and get it for five bucks. I meannn.'
I love Erin Wasson as a model so this quote was definitely food for thought. It's interesting how we pick up on certain trends or brands that promise a lifestyle aesthetic we do not always have access to. I do not live in Paris, but speaking of the French, have always found Parisian women to be the most chic. However, in the last 4 years my tastes have swayed more towards the northern hemisphere. Far north.The Swedish and the Danes have city-style down to a capital T. It's completely what I'm about but still with a French twist. Superior cut, Intense colour and simplicity, with a smattering of jewels and bold & interesting prints and textures.
Above is the packaged version of what I feel is the definition of Parisian Chic with a Swedish twist, or is it Swede Chic with a Parisian twist?
1.Rag & Bone Floppy Brim Fedora
2. Acne Velocite Lambswool Jacket
3. Étoile Isabel Marant 'Ouda' Knit
4. Acne 'Kex' Low rise skinny jeans
5. Celine Trio Bag
6. Givenchy Obsedia Cuff
7. Isabel Marant 'Berry' Boots get them here
8. LeivanKash 'Dagger' Ring

I can definitely understand the basis of Erin's feelings and also your movement with favouring the Swedish. I love all of the outfit pieces you've picked. Enough character without being 'themed' or over the top. The perfect balance and more real life wearable.
