Since college I have been obsessed with Paris. The romantic aura, beautiful parks, fascinating architecture, the fashion and culture, museums; I’ve been dreaming about experiencing it all. I took up learning french on language apps, celebrate Bastille day and take notes on what french girls wear, all in the spirit of my french ancestry. My great grandparents were born and raised in France, so it is in my blood (along with being British and Irish). Sadly I have never been to Paris, although I have been dreaming about it for so long. It seems that every time I plan on going I end up not being able to– like next week I have the opportunity to go to Paris with a few friends but chose not too because of having to buy all new furniture plus the holidays. I need to save money (perks of working for yourself and living in New York). Someday I will go to Paris and relish in all of the magic that it has to offer. Until then I’ll stick to taking cues on style inspiration.

Lets face it French women are better dressers than the rest of us. They have that je ne sais quoi that we all try to embody. Parisian style is an effortlessly chic sartorial with a feminine twist. The number one rule of dressing like a French girl is to wear basics. Something that goes with everything like a solid colored sweater. Although stripes are the prominent print for French style, plaid (if settle) fits right in– especially as part of the street styles of Paris Fashion Week last winter. When it comes to shoes French women never wear too high of a heel; over the knee boots are mix of sexy and classic for the fall and winter. The beret can be pretty cliché but it is a top accessory trend each season. French women believe less is more when it comes to dressing and accessorizing. The more classic you can get, the more Parisian you shall look.
