bonjour! i want to be french!

I must say, I adore her. And if you haven't checked out 5:55, you must. Trust me.

I REALLY like Charlotte Gainsbourg. So pretty! So talented!

Damn. I want that coat. What is wrong with me?

@BAngieB: I'd fight you for it!

@BAngieB: Not a thing.

Look at that hair! I would totally brush it and french braid it and make her into a human My Little Pony.

effortlessly cool/pretty. what every girl aspires to. swoon!

Please stop reinforcing my envy of French women and their effortless style!

@BAngieB: No, I totally want it too. I think it's the pockets.

Vincent Gallo in training?

@BAngieB: Nothing. I want it too.
And she is just adorable wearing it, I might add.

Ooohh, I love her! She's so classy and cool.

I had a raincoat in that kind of a plaid from Drizzle. It cost me $357 on sale at Saks, and I wore it out. I want hers.

two of my faves. she looks like a child still. good genes!

She's so cute and Fronch!

Shouldn't we be making fun of her?

@jenndavo: Totally

@jenndavo: No! He is so much cooler than Vincent Gallo!

I love Nicolas Ghesquiere. And Charlotte Gainsbourg. Not to mention her parents. And that jacket.

She looks so happy in that picture it's making me happy, too. So I'm just going to sit here and pretend I'm BFFs with a famous fashion designer as I wait for them to fix the traffic signals on my way home.

MAN do I want that coat!

I love her gorgeous skin and lack of makeup.

His eyes are very piercing. Maybe it's that stare that keeps convincing Jennifer Connolly to step out in his wackier creations.

Didn't she just have some sort of massive head injury?

I HEART Charlotte! Bravo for this pic!

@Trip The Light Fantastic: You beat me to it. Whenever I see pics of her, or Marion Cotillard, or Audrey Tatou, I'm seized by that weird "I want to be HER" feeling.

@BAngieB: Heh.

I want him and the coat. And shes so adorable!

i don't know if "effortlessly chic" is how i'd describe charlotte. it's just like...happy lady wearing a not-competely-boring coat. are french people chic-er than us american ladies because they smile and look like their daddies named serge?

i'm going to start smiling more just in case.

@BAngieB: nope - am loving it myself.

ooooh lala j'ai deux amours! je peux te consommer nico!

i want to be there.

Love her in the Science of Sleep. Parlez vous Francais? Oui oui!

He's got a real sour puss on but she looks adorable! I don't think I've ever seen her outright smiling. Love the lack of makeup, coat is questionable but it doesn't matter.

@jenndavo: OMG.. As soon as I saw him, I felt the Vincent Gallo creeps.

If I were him I would definitely fix my nose and do something about the VG douche gaze!

He's more like if Vincent Gallo and Joaquin Phoenix had a baby together.

@Trip The Light Fantastic: Not topical but I love your display name. Does it have anything to do with Sophie Ellis-Bextor or do you just like the phrase?

@the.bleach:

From le wiki:
Late on September 5, 2007, Gainsbourg was rushed into a Paris hospital where she underwent surgery for cerebral haemorrhage. She had had headaches since a minor water skiing accident in the United States, a couple of weeks before.

Given this photo was taken today, I would presume she's recovered.
