Isabel Marant Shows the French Girl Way to...Wear Glitter?

Love has no borders, but beauty trends? They're stacked in favor of les Françaises. From French Girl™ Hair to French Girl™ Skin, there's a constant consumer mania to look Parisian. (Translation: A little messy, a lot cool, and usually glowing from state-sponsored healthcare.)

Isabel Marant is the French Girl™ mothership, with slouchy boots, giant v-neck sweaters, and bohemian trust fund dreams reliably (and wonderfully) woven into every fashion show. But this season, things took a strange turn into l'Amerique.

To start with, there was glitter—normally a grave sin in French Girl™ world. Makeup artist Lisa Butler swept a tiny amount of small-but-not-tiny sparkles from the temple to the cheekbone with her finger, choosing a neutral peach shade for a "suddenly shiny" effect as the models caught the light. "It's cool because it's not obvious," she said, "and it's a small enough amount that you won't find it in every corner of your house the next day," which would be so not French.

Next, there was an import straight from a Millennial American Starter Kit: Glossier Boy Brow, which Butler brushed into the brows of both male and female models (USA babes Gigi Hadid, Janaye Furman, Grace Elizabeth, Kaia Gerber, Lexi Boling, and Binx Walton included).

But one thing remained resolutely French Girl™: the hair, which master stylist (and Paris native) Damien Boissinot left loose with a touch of hair wax on the ends, or twisted into a messy bun at the nape of the neck, pinning—and pulling small pieces out for maximum "effortlessness"—into a spiral after securing it with an elastic.

Et voila. Paris and Brooklyn, it's like you're now just one subway stop away.

Blueberry Crumb Cake

Bake cake, checking after 30 minutes and tenting with foil only if crumble is getting very dark (some color is fine), until top of cake is firm and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60–70 minutes. Let cake cool in pan, at least 2 hours, then cut into slices in pan.

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections. (The plastic wrap acts sort of like a girdle, holding in all of the meat, cheese, and veg so that they won't fly out you slice smaller segments. It also acts as insurance in case the parchment paper gets damp.) If you're taking your sandwich out into the world, wrap again in plastic or return to bag or sleeve that bread came in to hold it all together for easy transporting.
