Clarins French skin care company heiress Claire Courtin-Clarins may not look familiar to you just yet, but her style is definitely worth getting to know. Here at a Tod's party at Paris Fashion Week, the stunning blonde managed to look cozy and cute at the same time. Underneath her fabulous shearling coat she mixed prints via a watercolor top and a floral miniskirt. She kept the rest of her outfit simple, opting for black oxfords, a weekender bag, silver hoop earrings, and a green bangle. If your old shearling coat has been hiding in the back of your closet, let Claire inspire you to dust it off and throw it on over all your stylish looks.
