Dress Like a French Woman

A Parisian-inspired one-page style guide for effortless, everyday dressing.

French Fridays

I am excited to share a new series with you, French Fridays. This is French Fridays week 7 where I am sharing everything French that I’ve loved the past week in style, food, beauty, finds, and favorite places in Paris to know.

French Style

A beautiful color combination of camel, navy, and black. So classic and incredibly chic. Navy and black are always my favorite colors when worn together but adding a touch of camel elevates this outfit.

A camel wrap coat is a gorgeous staple to wear during the fall and autumn seasons. J.Crew Navy straight-leg pants with a Mango black turtleneck, chic suede loafers from Boden, and a classic A.P.C. leather bag.

French Recipe

With the weather turning cooler finally, I made one of our favorite fall dishes, Ina Garten’s Beef Bourguignon. I can’t wait to make this for the first time every fall. The house smells so amazing and it tastes incredible.

Usually, I’ll buy a fresh baguette to go with it. Nothing better on a Sunday than a big pot of Beef Bourguignon. I always use my favorite Le Creuset Dutch Oven for this because I can use it on the stove as well as put it in the oven.

French Finds

Anthropologie released their holiday collection and it’s pretty cute as usual. Love this Paris, holiday city mug to use for warm coffee on those cool fall mornings.

I also ordered this TRUDON Cire candle for a little fall decor. It smells just like fall with notes of sandalwood, cinnamon, and vanilla. It’s definitely pricey for a candle but I absolutely love luxury candles and the jar is so beautiful to display.

French Beauty

KLORANE has the best dry shampoo for Brunettes I have ever used and believe me when I say, I’ve tried them all. Klorane is well known for its dry shampoo line covering all hair types and has a massive following.

It doesn’t leave behind any flakes or dryness and leaves my hair feeling nice and thick. I try and only wash my hair about 2 times a week and use this in between washes.

I spray mine directly into my hair when I need it, wait about 10 seconds, and then rub it in, followed up by brushing it through my hair.

I actually have this on auto-ship from Amazon and receive 2 new bottles every other month

Favorite Places In Paris To Know

Pink Mamma, is one of my favorite places to eat in Paris. And, a place I always recommend to people when traveling to Paris. The Italian food is amazing but the ambiance and atmosphere are so much fun.

Every floor is decorated differently, with the top floor being the best in my opinion. This is a place you definitely want to make a reservation ahead of time if you know you’re going to Paris.

The pizza is fabulous but so is everything they serve. Pink Mamma is also a very kid-friendly restaurant.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this edition of French Fridays Week 7.
