HEARD: Carven x Petit Bateau

Carven has officially become the creator of all things French schoolgirl chic. The Paris purveyor of new contemporary classics has paired up with Petit Bateau--another longstanding French favorite--for a capsule collection of pieces that beg to be incorporated into your look. Starting December 5, the pieces have a bit of baby appeal in the sense that they're intriguingly simple, yet they do the trick in their classic designs. This dickie is probably out of the ordinary for most but could be worn under a stretched out crewneck, deep v-neck or under my favorite chambray button-down for the perfect layering effect.
