Feeling French
Posted on Wed, May 04, 2011 I’m feeling a bit French today… possibly the warmer weather or the carefree aspect of relaxing vacations on the horizon (I wish), and all the people on the streets with a bit more bounce in their step. Parisian or not, things feel different. People are smiling more, drinking iced beverages, wearing flowing dresses, eating on patios- like a new advent of sorts. I for one, have welcomed this change with open arms, moving sweaters to the back and pulling every colorful dress into the spotlight of my closet!
And while today’s post isn’t necessarily about colorful frocks or fancy frills- it is about dressing with ease… and that is why I have selected a few of French Connection’s latest pieces to represent the ease of leaning into summer with styles that feel fit for only the French. Really though, what is it about the French that makes them so tres chic? Obviously they have the best food in the world (BTW- if you haven’t tried bo-beau in OB yet, it is beyond Parisian Paradise) yet never look over-stuffed. Their style is impeccable with tiny details that only they could pull off. The language and accent make most everyone swoon… and they seem to live a life envied by most.. six weeks of vacation a year, permanent job security, fresh baked bread on the daily, and tiny little cars that fit into almost any parking spot imaginable.
So while I take inspiration from the French and feel like a little piece of Paris could be found just outside your door, I encourage you all to find something that makes you feel effortless as well. French Connection happens to be a brand devoted to exceptional fit and flare. So check them out and go find a bakery with fresh bread… oh and don’t forget- a nice bottle of wine.
