From the parisian themed bridal shower in Bridesmaids to the runways of Fashion Week its safe to say tis the season for all things French! With European inspiration hiding behind every corner it’s hard to decide which overseas inspired items are necessity and which are de trop. (de trop = french for too much!)
Here are 5 essential French items cupcakeMAG’s obsessing over!
1. With promises of helping your child become calm, cultured, and a more adventurous eater the book Bringing Up BeBe by American journalist turned Paris native, Pamela Druckerman, is a parenting book every Parisian enthusiast should pick up.
2. JCrew basics are so chic! From the tan trench coats to the navy nautical stripped tee shirts JCrew has a sequined something for every French fashionista.
3. While some historians claim it to be of Italian decent, the Macaroon is most known as the sweet after dinner treat in France. Macaroons aren’t just sweet but their also light, leaving room for more than just one!
4. With four nominations (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Art Direction and Best Original Screenplay), its obvious Midnight in Paris has made a name for itself in Hollywood. Having the film at home will help when that holiday to Paris is just too far away!
5. Alicia Adams Alpaca is truly heaven sent. The little one wearing this classic cableknit look (buttons along the legs for easy diaper changes) will look so chic and be so cozy!
