Parisian Chic and French
Inspiration
The city is magical. It's people so effortlessly stylish and
it's streets lined with the most elegant architecture. It's
difficult not to fall in love with Paris.
So many people have fallen for it's artistic and chic lure.
Style
Scrapbook being one of them. When you fall in
love with Paris, it's a lasting type of love, yes? It's
certainly made this super trendy blogger head over heels, and
her style is totally a reflection of a playful Parisian
attitude.
Get her look by experimenting with layers, textures and
fabrics. Stick to neutral colors and add a pop of bright color
with your accessories (especially shoes). Mix the classic with
the unexpected and be bold with your wardrobe decisions.
The art of parisian chic style is about several
things. Most of all it's about mastering your own body shape,
and learning that elegance is more important than anything.
To capture the heart of Paris with
your own clothing style:
- Stick to neutral colors: black, grey, beige, white,
cream, etc. Pastels aren't rock enough, and brights are too
punk.
- Learn the art of tailoring: a well fit jacket, a pair
of high-waisted trousers or a correctly fitted shirt. These all
look so much better when they are made to fit and flatter only
your figure.
- Assess your body shape: learn what sort of styles suit
you best, and don't succumb to trends that won't make you look
100% stunning.
- Wear heels to all occasions: that's the true art of a
ladylike look, it will transform your look from everyday trendy
to elegant paris chic
- Accessorise simply: don't overcrowd your wrists or
neckline with too much jewellery and accessories. Instead go
for one expensive and glittering statement piece
- Get an amazing haircut & blowdry: it will make you
more confident and feel more stylish, and give you a lift on
days when you need a little freshening up
- Do designer: it's the one place in the world that they
can definitely tell the difference between high street and
hand-finished
