Sofia Style: Loup Charmant Grounded Chic


Summer time in Sofia is about cool minimalist geometry and new angles on life. I spend a lot of time each day walking through different neighborhoods with the twins and our dog, Finn. I try to simply allow things to come into focus and meld together as they cross my path. I have to be honest and confess that I have been wearing this black Loup Charmant organic cotton slip a lot – either layered over cropped leggings or as a shift on hot summer days.


I also wear it in the garden to weed in my little plot outside our building as well as on the terrace at night when I open a bottle of good red wine. I have never had a piece of clothing that allows me to dream so much while remaining grounded and at peace.


Thanks, Kee Edwards, for making such a pure and simple designs for women to celebrate who they really are. I love all of my Loup Charmant pieces. (*Necklace is my own creation made on the fly out of ethnic beads, broken crystal chandelier parts, and waxed linen thread).

Blogger Style Now: Native Kee

'Native Kee' in action
If you wonder what sort of journey I am taking you on, welcome to the world of Native Kee. I would not really call Kee's blog a 'blog'. It is more of an online inspiration board that delves deep into all things beautiful, raw, complex, and life-affirming. It's also about the senses - those we have forgotten and those we need to connect with as part of a native tradition.

Kee is 'searching for beauty', and she does this in a way that peels back the layers of convention and complacency. This process not only informs her lovely work as a designer but also makes her a very real and alluring person. She humbly invites you into her world, coaxes you to play in the sunshine and on new shores, but this free-spirit never overlooks the big issues that drive her to create and craft a complex journey.

Loup Charmant's Luminous Organic Essentials










One of the regrets I have about already being settled in Eastern Europe for autumn is my not having visited the new showroom of LOUP CHARMANT in Red Hook, Brooklyn, before my departure from NYC. These luminous and completely timeless organic cotton essentials could basically be a women's essential wardrobe for anywhere that she might travel on the planet.

I wear my scoop tank all of the time in Sofia, either as a base layer that is super soft against my skin, or as a summery tank on hot and breezy nights. Kee Edwards of LOUP CHARMANT basically has sustainable style totally pinned down with these feminine, though highly functional, trans-seasonal pieces.

And it is not every day that a designer can also model her designs with total expression of how the collection is meant to be lived in and celebrated. It's sheer sexy goodness, wouldn't you say?

Pachute Boutique Takes Root


If 'pure and simple' is part of your sustainable style equation, then pachute boutique on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is definitely a fashion outpost that you should know about. Exquisitely curated by owner Sharone Komoroff, this clean and bright style oasis is a cool nest of nature-inspired fashion amidst the steamy urban jungle.


Pachute means 'simple' in Hebrew and with designer collections like Brooklyn-based Loup Charmant and Israeli jewelry designer, Lior Ben-Beset, there is elegance and beauty throughout. The loveliest eco-basics for babies and kids also makes one-stop shopping a breeze. I found the sweetest organic cotton tees for my twins there, as parent/child options are refreshing but not at all saccharin. NB: Do not miss the Zid Zid’s Moroccan 'Babuches' (slippers) for little ones.

And as if this is not enticing enough Sharone has hand-picked some of her favorite beauty and skin products to compliment the range of wholesome goods and gift giving treasures. As you can see, you will be gently immersed in the finest and simplest style finds.

Loup Charmant will be presenting their gorgeous organic cotton finery at Designers & Agents LA this weekend (October 16 - 18). Be on the lookout for hints of new hues in their honeymoon, resort, lounge offerings ~ all great layering essentials.

Particularly fetching is this hand-carved African bone necklace strung on organic twill tape, available at the Loup Charmant online shop.




I also adore these super flirty, ruffled Bloomers made of the airiest organic cotton.
