This week’s style diary guest, the lovely Mathilde Thomas, is an accomplished woman who knows a great deal about style and beauty. She is a successful entrepreneur, founder of the skincare company Caudalíe, a wife, mother, and bestselling author of ”The French Beauty Solution: Time-Tested Secrets to Look and Feel Beautiful Inside and Out.”
Sibylle Eschapasse: Describe your style? If a close friend were to describe your personality in three words, what would they be?
Mathilde Thomas: My sense of style is very casual chic. If a friend had to describe me in three words it would be natural beauty junkie.
Ms. Eschapasse: How did your style evolve since you were a teenager? What is the wildest thing you ever wore?
Ms. Thomas: I was an outdoorsy girl raised in nature. I was always in denim hanging out with my dogs. Now I am a city girl who spends her life between Bordeaux, Paris; New York, and Hong Kong—still in my denim, but with a white silk blouse.
Ms. Eschapasse: How do you dress on workdays versus weekends?
Ms. Thomas: On a workday I’m dressed in a casual chic outfit because I bike to work. It’s usually white pants, navy top, and my Hermès satchel. On the weekends I’m in shorts and a T-shirt on the countryside with my husband and kids.
