Se Magnifique!

So recently I've been loving the whole French inspired clothing. If it's French and polished you can be positive that I'm wearing it. So I've decided to make a list of a couple items that I think are the key pieces in order to pull this look off. These pieces will surely want to make you hop on a plane a fly to Paris. Hope you like!!






The Beret Hat
Of course it wouldn't be French Chic if you didn't have a Beret. This instantly makes any outfit look french. You'll literally look as though you've just walked off the runway in Paris. Now if you don't want to wear an actual french Beret you can go with one that's a little slouchy like the one on the left. This one comes with a bow and it's a bit more modern. Either one you pick, you'll look fabulous and ready for a trip to Paris.  San Diego Hat Company $25.50













The Quilted Messenger Bag
I honestly think this a key piece you need to pull this look off. You can wear it in whatever color you want and it's makes any outfit look polished. I have this exact version in black and cream. Forever21 $20.80









Ballet Flats
This look definetly pulls the whole French Chic look together. Whether you're wearing them to work or just running errands, they instantly make you look like you just got off a plane from Paris. I have these in black and white but if you want to add a little spice to the look then purple and black will do.
Target  $36.99







The Garter Sweater
This is a perfect example of effortless chic. If you're trying to pull off the French chic look or not, every girl should have a sweater like this in their closet. It's perfect for going out or just staying in. You can wear it with black leggings and red pumps or if it's long enough you can even wear it with stockings. Just make sure if you decided to wear it with stockings, make sure it's at least 10 inches over you're butt. This exact version in from Old Navy but I got it last year so I'm pretty sure it's not in stock anymore.












 Red Lip-Stick
I think this color is chic whether or not you're trying to look French chic or not. I usually like to wear mine a little closer towards the berry side but regardless any red you choose, you'll definitely make heads turn. I like NARS in Fire Down Below also try Maybeilline in Red Revival.
NARS in Fire Down Below  $24.50 Sephora
Maybeilline $7.50 CVS




The Trench Coat
It should really be called "The French Coat' seeing as how french it looks when you wear it. This is the last item on my list of French Inspired looks. It is perfect for day or night and it's effortless chic. You cab wear it with basically anything except sweats, God forbid you'd humiliate this coat by wearing it with UGG boots as well. I usually wear mine when I'm going out to dinner or a special occasion. I usually wear an "above the thigh" version when I'm just running errands or hanging out with friends. I have them in almost every color but if you're trying to pull of the French Chic look then it's best it you find a color in cream or nude. Forever21  $37.80



Hope you find this helpful and hope it makes you look fabu!!
