As an interior designer, these European getaways are more than just travel—they're a inspiration, a creative reset. From the quiet elegance of Parisian cafés to the patina of centuries-old architecture, every detail fuels my design sensibilities. And honestly? Even the act of packing—curating pieces with intention and vision—feels like its own form of design.
I will be spending time in Paris and Nice! Send your recommendations and whether you're planning your own fall escape or simply want to channel a bit of French flair into your wardrobe, consider this your elevated packing list.
TRÉS CHIC.
Wrapped in silk maxis, gauzy poet sleeves, and quiet fabrics that move with the wind. There’s a softness here, but also strength. This is femininity that doesn’t perform. It just is.
At home: Sheer curtains in front of open French windows, floral oil paintings with chipped frames found in a Parisian market, and a café au lait left half full on a linen-covered table in a quiet Marais flat.
On her: A structured blouse with a flowy midi skirt for gallery-hopping in Paris. A long silk maxi for sun-drenched lunches in Nice.
She buys: Antique-inspired jewelry from a tucked-away vintage shop in Le Marais. A linen robe from the Sunday flea in Nice.

Dressed for the 'Oui' Hours
Siri, how do you say "more wine please" in french? Sleek silhouettes, late dinners, and the kind of style that lingers in candlelight. She doesn’t just dress for the day—she dresses for the hours after.
At home: A moody corner set for one with red wine in a cut crystal glass, vintage sconces casting shadows, a playlist of soft French jazz humming low.
On her: Strappy heels with a vintage clutch. Gold earrings that catch every bit of golden hour.
She buys: Silk, structured tailoring, and a heel she can walk in (just fast enough to catch the metro, just slow enough to be noticed).
