I was in Paris for work this earlier this summer and before my trip made a shopping list of things I wanted to buy in an effort to stay focused.
Turns out that’s extremely hard to do when your job tasks you with literally going into every boutique, vintage, and department store in the city. Naturally, I veered off course. I did, however, leave Paris incredibly inspired and with a suitcase filled with many I-didn’t-know-I-needed-this-but-happy-I-bought-it-thing’s I knew I couldn’t keep to myself. That said, below are 10 of my favorite Paris purchases that you won’t have to get on a plane to buy. Might I suggest you listen to Jacques Dutronc’s J’aime les filles while you peruse?
