Introduction	I started this blog to talk about accessories. Accessories are the key to fashion and personal style. In this respect, a French woman is the ultimate example of style for me. Even wearing simple jeans and a T-shirt, French women manage to be elegant and different, mostly because of their accessories: a nicely curled scarf, a T-shirt elegantly tucked into a little belt, a fine necklace or a big ring... My blog is not only about accessories, it is also about people creating and wearing them. For me, fashion does not exist without the people creating it. Fashion is a means of self-expression, whether you are a designer or are on the other side of fashion, wearing accessories created for you. Finally, this blog is about San Francisco Bay Area local designers. “Buy local” and “support local creators” have recently become my mottos. Following this path, I created Rue1 showroom, whose goal is to support local designers through creative fashion shoots, editorials and events. I hope you enjoy reading my blog, and I am looking forward to seeing you back here.
