I was born in New York, but raised in France pretty much my whole life. I started my blog, Trop Rouge, as a way to express myself. It's my little open diary for the world to see. It's where I get to experiment with clothes and fashion. I love all trends and seasons, which makes my style pretty alternative. I can pretty much adapt to any style very easily.

This winter, I'm loving bright colored tights and even wearing them with over-the-knee-socks and big, chunky heels!

After the Olsenboye shoot, seeing all of the cords in the holiday collection, I started craving everything corduroy. Without hesitation, I'm coveting the skinny leg cords in navy or coal Olsenboye has this fall/winter. I love keeping warm, just as much as I love looking good - and you can do both at once. I have to say, it's not always easy for me to wear hats. Have you noticed my hair? It's - well - BIG! I never, ever, ever straighten it (if I was meant to have straight hair, I would have been born with it). That's a valuable style lesson my mom taught me - to be happy with whatever you have and make it work for you. So the big locks have become my signature style. And if there is any message I can impart to my readers, it's to embrace your style no matter what is "in" or what anyone else says. Be who you are - and own it!

Speaking of owning it, let's get back to Olsenboye! Have you seen thisjumper? I die over it. Something I need to own! I want to wear it with red tights and red clogs and layer some delish sweaters on top. Fashion is about being playful - not following any rules. I hope you'll do the same and feel fabulous along the way!

Big Kiss, Christina
