Styling Parisian

Wished I was writing this blog back in Paris, instead I'm in my pjs tucking into some tea and toast. Only a girl can dream right? 

Anyways, the main reasons behind this post happened when i was in Paris with my boyfriend. Not only is Paris the most beautiful city, but the women are always so elegant and chic. I've came to a conclusion that it's in their DNA to look that darn beautiful! Strutting down the street with their prada bags almost as big as them, I actually witnessed a dog inside a bag it was that big (If you've been to paris then you'll know what I mean). Another thing I love is they never over dress, instead, it's all about looking bold and sticking to monochromic colours which I adore. Also investing in a couple of expensive statement pieces. Think quality not quantity! 

So my tips for dressing Parisian is keeping your outfit as minimal as possible, black and white are your best friends. As coco Chanel once said “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance". It is amazing how a simple outfit can make you feel so feminine with the slightest of efforts. Team your outfit with a pair of pointed flats, boots or courts and a statement bag. If you are on a budget, opt towards Mango or Paul's boutique. And if you're feeling brave add a fedora hat, great accessory to add a little quirkiness to your outfit. Lastly, don't forget your red lippy! My favourite at the moment being NARS - Red Lizard. It's essential trust me.
