Happy Monday dears! This week we are going to be talking about quite possibly my favorite subject in the world - Paris. From the art to the food to the architecture to the fashion, I love every single thing about it. When I spent three weeks living in a tiny flat in Le Marais, I was absolutely amazed by how chic the women were. They truly possessed the 'je ne said quoi' that we American women fantasize about and constantly try to emulate {there are even books dedicated to the subject...a few are here, here, and here}. I also noticed that there seemed to be a strict dress code they adhered to, and can I just say I am so happy I didn't bring any of my crazy-colorful coats. I certainly don't have the magic formula, but it seemed to include:
- Skinny pants {typically black, dark denim, or leather}
- A great boot, especially booties {ALWAYS black}
- Slightly messy hair
- Gray/black/wine winter accessories such as barrets and chunky scarves
- The perfect coat {either leather or a really chic wool jacket} in black or gray
- A Louis Vuitton bag, but bonus points for Celine or Chanel
- Le cigarette {yuck!}
I pulled together a look inspired by the Parisian woman's effortless elegance {including a product to give you that perfectly imperfect messy hair}, plus more of my favorite French-inspired pieces below. Au revoir amis!
