The French Girl. How does she manage to effortlessly sit at a cafe, sip that gorgeous cup of latte and people watch for hours on end- by herself? Her confidence and aura captivates any room.

She is often seen strolling down the narrow alleyways with a bouquet of roses and a freshly baked baguette in her stylish ensemble. Where is she going? I’m sure she’s heading home after a busy day at the office to dress her beautifully arranged but simple chic apartment with those roses. They sit pretty on her white marble kitchen counter. And the baguette? Oh- they’re for her breakfast the next morning. Enjoyed with jam and perhaps butter accompanied by a cup of tea. But that’s just my guess…

Here are some snapshots of me channeling my inner French girl.

These beautiful brownstones are situated in my lovely neighborhood. Charming, quaint and very European-like. I absolutely love those ornate cast iron balconies.

Every inner French girl needs a pair of red soles.
