One never tires of what is well written, style is life. Gustave Flaubert
Sabrina has spent a lot of time in Paris and it shows. She loves fashion but doesn’t feel the need to buy a lot – it’s more about getting the one thing that makes your wardrobe special. She also pays great attention to detail, even if it means spending a little bit more. Wolford hosiery in particular, and any accent on the legs are key for Sabrina; whether to the ankle, the knee, over-the-knee, or texture all over, she can make the simplest T- shirt dress look interesting with the right accents. Sabrina also has a great sense of proportion – the nautical striped dress without the ankle socks and wedge booties, the black dress without the knee socks and mary janes, and the high-waisted floral shorts without the over-the-knee tights and high tops would be ordinary. The way that Sabrina mixes and layers her clothes so effortlessly is the height of great style – you have no idea where anything is from or how much it costs. The red leather shorts from her mom, black suede ankle boots from Marc Jacobs, and a mustard color vintage cardigan from Paris that was too big and she altered say it all. It looks like it took a lot of thought when it was a moments instinct.

Her style looks great on her, but it’s disheartening to see all of these people trying to be Parisian and being very un-creative as a result. I know her style is quietly creative, but it seems conformist, humorless, and pretentious to try to dress like a 90s French film heroine with no twist to it.

Hmm…after looking at the pictures instead of the video, I changed my mind. Sorry to be so judgmental! There are just so many Parisienne-wannabes out there. But she ISN’T one.

Judging from the pieces that were her mom’s, Sabrina has inherited good taste too.
#12 is my favorite

Firstly – Ann thank you… I love the positive energy of this site and I truly hope it always remains a safe place for creatives to meet and inspire one another.
I actually love this young woman’s quiet style and sophistication as well as her real connection to each piece she has acquired. I hope that Style Like U goes to visit her again a year from now so we can see how she continues to evolve…

Loved this video. Her style reflects her personality very well and I love that she’s inherited so many great things from her mother.

This girl has a refreshing take on classics. We like the way she pairs Clarks and tights. She also adds splashes of color when least expected..sneaky sneaky…keeps us on our toes. Nice 1920′s vibe.
Hope to see more from her in the future..can’t wait to see how she pairs her new black Clarks..surprises ahead!

[...] Sabrina Bacon’s favorite author is Gustave Flaubert, a french writer who is best known for his 1857 Madame Bovary, a story of adultery and despairing love affairs. “It’s no good fighting against Fate or trying to resist the smile of the angels. Who can help being swept off his feet by all that is beautiful, charming, adorable?” – Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary, Ch.18 By Kayla Seah @ July 15, 2010 | No Comments | [...]
