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
