July 25th.<\/p>\n

C’est l’anniversaire de La Couturier<\/em><\/strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a year\u2014a good year\u2014since my first post<\/a>. I had begun with no readers, simply writing to myself and for myself, and somehow gained a rather good number of followers. The number of comments and emails I receive, though hardly comparable to those of Karla’s Closet or Fashion Toast, still make me quite proud – to think that there are actually those who read my humble little blog and continue to return will never fail to astonish me. I must say that this blog has opened so many opportunities for me, from my internship at Dujour Magazine, to meeting amazing, fashion-obsessed girls like myself, and being exposed to the fabulousness of this blogosphere.<\/p>\n

Herein I officially proclaim myself as a \u00a0blogette,<\/em> obsessed with blogs and blogging.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And everyday I am reminded of why I started this blog in the first place; my sole purpose in creating La Couturier<\/em> extends beyond my passion for fashion and writing. I have always sought to inspire in some way or another. And whether or not I have done so I will never know for sure, but the immeasurable love, through comments and emails alike, is more than enough for me. Je t’aime tous<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

I can only wish to continue, to improve, to inspire. So here, in La Couturier<\/em>, I’ve poured by inspirations, my loves, and my dreams.<\/p>\n

Feel free to dream along<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

the 1st giveaway. [CLOSED]<\/h2>\n

And in celebration of an entire year of blogging (and many more to come, I hope), I’ve teamed up with Chickdowntown<\/a> to present (drum roll, s’il vous pla\u00eet<\/em>) the first giveaway contest<\/strong>! I’ve loved Chickdowntown for quite some time now, admiring and coveting pieces lovely sandals by Mystique<\/a> and floral printed rompers from Yumi Kim<\/a>. And yes, this admiration goes as far as following the boutique’s founder Amy on Twitter<\/a> and on Facebook<\/a>. Oui<\/em>, I am a self-professed fan.<\/p>\n

I am uninhibitedly in love with denim – I own quite a few pairs, with about two in each wash since I do wear them rather religiously. Denim pants have always stood for that carefree, rugged sexiness <\/em>– masculine meets femininity – and versatility: qualities of which I value highly in clothing. For decades now the jean has become symbolic and ubiquitous, which would indeed make perfect sense for me to choose the highly coveted CURRENT\/ELLIOTT “the Legging” Denim Skinny in black<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Why wouldn’t<\/em> you want a pair? After all, black is a versatile color (you know I love my black!). And this particular style has been known to do miraculous deeds for the woman: elongating and slimming the legs – hurrah!<\/p>\n
