do what the parisians do

I was reading "Parisian Chic: A Style Guide" last night (which was a gift from my sister), and I found myself nodding my head a lot. I've always agreed with the way the Parisians live their lives, the way the dress, and the way they think. This book has already proven to be a great guide that supports all of these things.

For instance - the way they dress. The book suggests to never shop with the intention of buying an outfit - only purchase pieces that you love. The things that feel comfortable and that express your personality will find their way into your daily outfits - you don't need to plan much more than that.

JCrew Tee | Anthropologie Shorts | Anthropologie Clutch

See above for an example. I love each of these pieces though I would've never put them together in a single shopping trip. I wore this outfit this weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, happy and put together I felt.

I wish I could post entire movies here. If I could, I would share with you the beauty, romance and magic that is "Midnight in Paris". It's completely inspired me this week and I have a new crush on Owen Wilson. The era of 1920's Paris sparked so many new and different ideas in the worlds of art, literature and fashion and this week, I'm researching more.

Watch this movie. You'll love it.
