Some people call it the City of Lights, others will call it the City of Love…but we’re pretty sure that almost all will agree that it’s one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. It’s Paris…the city that conjures thoughts of romance, fashion, baguettes and glamour. It’s a city that has captured the hearts of many and we are no exception.
We love this city. We adore the architecture, the beautiful streets, the incredible details on almost every building and we love the way the city feels…it’s truly alive.
Paris has something for everyone…the foodie inside you will be happy as Paris offers some of the best dining in the world. Those looking for art will need to look no further than at the legendary Louvre and those, like us, that love fashion…well Paris is home to some of the most luxurious and groundbreaking fashion houses such as Chanel, Lanvin and Yves Saint Laurent.
The city is a work of wonder during the day but at night, this city takes on a whole new look…it’s mysterious and magical…and we just can’t seem to get enough of it.
And as beautiful as the buildings in Paris are, some offer an even more fantastic beauty in their interior walls and ceilings. Remember, that there is a lot of beauty to be found on the inside…in buildings and in life.
We love Parisian fashion…they are effortlessly chic. They wear unknown designers with major labels, vintage items with haute couture and through it all, they maintain a certain elegance that can only be described as Parisian.
So our job today is to help you recreate this effortless chic…let’s start with some tops, shall we? This season’s top trends are beautiful flowy fabrics with lots of girly touches like bows and delicate lace.
Next, we are loving the options for warmth and fashion this year. Here are some great sweaters that will keep you looking fabulously warm:
Now time for the bottom half…we’re really loving these sexy and sophisticated pencil skirts. You can always pair them with a simple top to keep the look easy or really glam it up for the perfect outfit for drinks at Hotel Costes or L’Avenue.
