I’ve always dreamed of living in Paris. I fell in love with the French language and culture back in high school. I’d jump on the Eurostar (from London, where I was living) and visit the city regularly, always coming back home with a stack of L’Officiel magazines and a charming find from one of the many vintage stores I frequented. Though I ended up in L.A., I’m still drawn to the Parisian way of life, especially when it comes to style. I always favor the nonchalant, effortlessly chic outfit formulas that embody the French-girl aesthetic.
While perusing Nordstrom’s site from top to bottom this week, I was immediately drawn to a handful of elevated pieces that ooze Parisian-chic vibes. From chic trench coats to trending Mary Janes, the items below will unquestionably make you feel like you live in Paris through the simple act of wearing them! And that’s probably why I love them so much. Keep scrolling to take a look.
