Every September is the same for me, I feel like throwing away all my clothes! I have been wearing that little dress way too many times, I can’t stand this top anymore, I got nothing to wear, anyway I am not feeling comfortable with my body … nervous breakdown (please tell me I am not the only one like that!). But this year there’ll be no September crisis because I have decided to seek advices from an expert: Céline, founder of My French Elegance.
Céline’s mission: make you feel good by having you understand what are your strengths and help you emphasize those. She is French, addicted to shopping with a fashion background and a passion for personal development, needless to say we are getting along quite well!
Which colour, which style, which makeup to make me feel beautiful? Colours are crazy important, they can either make you glow or have you look tired/sick, they can make you stand out or be pretty much invisible, they can add a touch of elegance to your look explaining why it is so important to know that ones that fit your skin colour. Same with your body shape, not all styles can fit all body shapes. Knowing your body shape can save you some precious time and have you shine in just a minute.
Ok, let’s see how it really works with two of my friends: different body shapes, different personalities, different skin colour please meet Aude (I know, we have the same name) and Sarah.

Beautiful brown skin, dark brown eyes, massive amount of brown hair, Aude is the Autumn type. The below colours are perfect for her:
Those dark and intense fall colours will have her glow. Pastel colours are definitely not for her, bringing her shininess down. She also should go for ivory and cream white rather than pure white.
Her body shape is an H: shoulders, waist and hips aligned. H is one of the most common body shape, models are usually H shaped!
Céline’s tips: if you are an H, you need to create curves. Aude can emphasis her boobs but should not try to emphasis her waist. Empire style dresses, trapeze dresses and skirts and low waisted pants are great for her.

To enlighten her skin tone and beautify her dark eyes she can play with contrasts and cold colours: dark green, dark blue, fuchsia, emerald green, burgundy but also black and white.
Her body shape is an X, super feminine, with a tiny waist and shoulders and hips aligned.
Céline’s tips: emphasize this tiny waist! Fitted clothes are perfect, she should not hide her curves but try to make them even more visible. A fitted jacket, a bodycon dress, high waisted pants or pencil skirts will fit her perfectly.
