Effortlessly Chic

Cecile Blanco is the perfect person to chat up about style―her roots make her effortlessly chic. “I’m a Southern girl, too, you know,” she explains in her South of France accent. She’s also a mother, wife, and working woman whose mantra is “down-to-earth solutions for style emergencies.” It’s not just about the clothes though. Her other mantra resonates even more: “Looking your best is a great shortcut to feeling better on a bad day.”

Here she offers her specialty: one full day of shopping with a clear sense of self on a tight budget.
