Francophile

I know I'm not supposed to talk politics with friends, but if the subject is fashion-related, on another continent and not associated with Obama or McCain, I figure I'm safe. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the First Lady of France is making her mark as one of the most stylish women in history...I'm in complete awe. A few months after Nicolas Sarkozy was elected in 2007, he married her (she's a musician and former model with a somewhat scandalous past). Everyone thought it was the end of his political career…quite the opposite. She's been turning it out in Dior, Chanel, Gaultier and Hermes - looking every bit the First Lady.
