Garance Doré writes like she's talking to a friend over coffee. Her newsletter brings you intimate essays about style, beauty, relationships, and creative life through a French perspective.

You get vulnerable reflections on messy human experiences. No polished lifestyle content here. No tidy takeaways.

Doré helped define fashion blogging. Now she explores aging in the fashion industry. She examines the tension between ambition and contentment. She writes about small daily rituals that shape our lives.

Her Substack mixes observations about Parisian life with bigger questions. Questions about identity. Questions about purpose. Questions about the gap between who we are and who we thought we'd become.

Recent pieces tackle:
• Aging in fashion
• Ambition versus contentment
• Daily rituals and their meaning
• Identity and creative purpose

The writing feels conversational. Personal. Honest about life's contradictions.

If you want surface-level lifestyle advice, skip this. If you want genuine writing about real human complexity, Doré delivers exactly that.
