Dress Like a French Woman

French Fridays Week 16

Sault and welcome to French Fridays week 16 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

Trousers | Tweed Jacket | Handbag | Ballet Flats

As warmer weather approaches, wear cream, ivory, or beige trousers. A chic and classic tweed jacket always looks striking against a lighter pair of bottoms. This handbag is an amazing dupe of the HermĆØs Kelly bag and black ballet flats round out this classic outfit.

French Lifestyle

Make it a point to buy yourself fresh flowers every week, it doesn’t have to be a massive bouquet, just the simplest of flowers are the most beautiful. The French take beauty and appreciate the art of buying themselves flowers. Usually, I find a great selection at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods or check my local grocery store.

French Finds

A new-smelling spring candle from Diptyque is Fleur de Cerisier. It’s fruity and floral and evokes all that spring has to offer. This would be beautiful burning in a kitchen with a bouquet of flowers.

If you’re wanting a cute and lightweight sweater for spring, go for this Le Croissant, from Loft. Wear it with jeans for a fun outing or coffee date.

Favorite Places In Paris To Know

Citypharma in Paris is the place to go for all of your French beauty needs. It’s the one spot I immediately go to when I get to the city. I stock up on all my favorites like my CaudalĆ­e Cream, CaudalĆ­e Serum, and my favorite lip balms.

In my opinion, it’s the best pharmacy in the city, with the largest selection at incredible prices. There are many sales ladies inside who can help answer all your skincare concerns. If you have ever wondered what the deal is with French beauty, then step into the aisles of Cityphamra on your next visit.

    Hi Noelani,
    Thank you for your suggestions on what to wear when traveling to Europe. My husband and I will be visiting Italy this summer with our three boys. Since it will be quite hot, I decided to purchase a few of the items that you showed on your fashion blog. I love the Ivory blazer (BR), pale blue cami (CM), Black linen dress with brown sandal (FS), and bag by BA & SH. Thank you again for sharing your excellent taste in clothing online. Have a great time in Paris!
    Best,
    Michelle C.
