Less than two months to go before our little family takes our the city of love in celebration of our baby’s 10th birthday and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t absolutely dreaming of everything french + parisian. This Paris family vacation has been an adventure more than a year in the making and I am crossing my fingers this comes to fruition for our dear, sweet Caroline Cate, as she has talked about this moment for years and we are working hard to make it happen.
Everyone loves Emily in Paris and though the show is a winner, it’s the fashion that gets me to tune in time after time. Super sophisticated, feminine and chic with a bit of edge thrown in for good measure = I’d die to have that wardrobe to wear everyday! Pardon my French because I know it won’t be perfect, but I’ll be trying my best to dress the part so I thought I’d start the inspiration early!
I came to you a few weeks ago asking for your very best recommendations for your next Paris Family Vacation and you all came through in a big way! We’ve been highlighting and bookmarking and double checking we’ve got the perfect itinerary finalized… complete with a french baking class, photoshoot with Lamour de Paris, breakfast reservations at the famous Laduree on the Champs Elysees, shopping at the Galleries Lafayette, a day at Palace Versailles, and a few other secrets, too. But for anyone else thinking about going to Paris, I wanted to share all the specifics that came my way!
And because this mama and her little mademoiselles have to start their outfit planning, I’ve assembled some stellar french-inspired styles perfect for jet setting away oh so soon!
