These flats from Madewell are neutral enough to go with any outfit combination. If you want something with a wedge heel, then go with this chic Mary Jane style from Sézane.

This tweed jacket and skirt combination from Veronica Beard can be worn together for a timeless look or separately with trousers or a sweater.

You can easily mix and match any of these neutral pieces together for a classic Parisian-inspired look.

Petit Plaisir

This week we started wrapping up our itineraries and plans for our Savoir Retreats for this year. It was so nice one morning this week just sitting and thinking of everything we have planned for these groups of ladies. These retreats have been so heart fulfilling and and I can’t wait to share them soon!

On My Paris List

This charming and petite bistro is located on Rue Cherche-Midi, one of my favorite streets in Paris, full of restaurants, shops, and Parisian charm.

The restaurant is across from an Airbnb that I stayed at in the fall, and every time I would look over at the bistro, it was full of locals spilling out.

I always take this as a good sign when the restaurant is full of locals. It’s on my list to try on my next trip to Paris as I am always looking for a great local bistro.
