A La 'Kate Moss'


Some people consider themselves Francophiles, some Shopaholics, others bibliophiles (people obsessed with books, for you regular folk)… and me? Well I love Kate Moss.

You all know Kate... well you don’t know her, but you know of her. Obviously. If not, you’re living under a rock. She’s famous for her controversial private life, high-profile relationships, her party lifestyle, and drug use.

What most attracts me to Kate is her style. There aren’t many other women out there who exude as much confidence and could care less about people’s opinion than Ms. Moss herself. That in of itself makes her a role model for girls.  Most of you probably don’t realize that she’s the reason certain trends have been set. She made Balenciaga’s “Moto” bag the IT bag back when they first came out. Same with those 70’s style high-waisted, wide-legged jeans. She’s also become the master and commander that effortless and never contrived look we all set out to have when we venture out of our houses on the daily. It’s no wonder she’s always on the best dressed list.



In a recent interview she revealed her go-to drink called the French 76: vodka, sugar, lemon juice topped up with champagne. She claims “It doesn’t taste at all strong – and then, whoa, whoops-a-daisy!” Below you’ll find a recipe for the French 76! Enjoy!  

French 76

Fill a shaker with ice cubes, two shots of vodka, one of lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar syrup. Shake it up, pour into a champagne flute, and top it up with champagne. Voila!

Happy Drinking! The Aristochic
