French Fridays No. 19 French-Inspired Looks Of The Week

While spring is still a few months away, pieces are starting to arrive in stores. And many of these classic pieces can easily be worn now and into the spring season.

This week’s color palette is shades of blue, cream, and burgundy—rich tones with a hint of feminine textures. I was inspired by a photo I found on my phone of the Dior Galerie last year.

A gorgeous silk scarf can beautifully be worn throughout each outfit combination. This tweed vest reminds me of the Chanel show a few weeks ago.

Suede still dominates in bags and sneakers, even for spring. And this beautiful cream sweater with gold button detail goes with anything.

I also love this gorgeous navy bag from Cuyana. When you want a neutral-looking bag but don’t necessarily want black, try out a navy handbag.

Petit Plaisir

My next trip to Paris is booked for April and I can hardly wait. Paris in the spring is absolutely beautiful. There’s nothing like flowers in the Tuileries and Parisians on terraces. This has been a long winter so welcoming spring in Paris is the perfect way to start.
