Today i started making a list of the books i want to buy because
I have been seeing things and thinking 'oh i have to remember' to write that book down and lately i have not been remembering.
I was watching the movie 'Midnight in Paris' and the French girls in the movie reminded me i wanted to buy two books on Parisian Style i had seen and another photograph book on celebrating French women.
This then got me thinking about Parisian style, i started reading blogs, tips, lists etc on Parisian style.
I remember in my Audrey Hepburn book 'Audrey Style' it speaks about how Audrey had a very parisian wardrobe and style.
Parisian style is chic, simple, effortless, feminine and beautiful and it revolves a lot around confidence.
Since living in Italy i have had an obsession with the way European women dress, especially in the colder months. Summer is so easy throw on a dress and sandals and everyone looks amazing.
I have decided i am going to start my parisian wardrobe, it is going to be all about mixing affordable basics to achieve a look of effortless glamour.
After half a days research i believe these are the top 'must have's' for a french wardrobe.
Now depending on where in the world you live some of these may be unnecessary.
