Fashion Guitar creative director Charlotte Groeneveld shares her love for Chanel, her wardrobe staples and some makeup must-haves.

After 13 years as a fashion influencer — recently reaching coveted FOC status (that’s Friend of Chanel) — Charlotte Groeneveld has realized she’s a minimalist with a quality-over-quantity mindfulness. Except when it comes to jewelry.

“In that case, I am definitely a maximalist,” the Fashion Guitar creative director, 39, admits. On any given day, the Netherlands-born, New York City-dwelling style maven is most likely to be wearing three rings per hand, including her Art Deco-style Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring flanked by baguettes, and her favorite Chanel Coco Crush gold bands.

“I love them in combination with my finger tattoos,” explains Groeneveld, who has the initials of her three kids permanently etched across the middle knuckles of her right hand (“S” for Stella, 10, “J” for James, 12, and “T” for Teddy, 2). “It is unexpected when you look at that gorgeous fine jewelry, to see that contrast. It’s so me.”

Read on for more clues as to how Groeneveld achieves her never-ending chicness.

FAVORITE TOTE: Dior Toujours Bag

“This Dior bag accompanies me everywhere. Medium is the best size; big enough to fit in a lot, not too big to carry around. More of a day bag than evening, but since evenings are preferably spent at home, I don’t mind.”
