I’m currently soaking in the Parisian charm (and indulging in the peaceful rhythm of life), and I wanted to share a little camera roll dump of moments that have been sparking joy and creativity. Whether it’s the chicness of simple outfits or the incredible finds at local street markets, I’m constantly reminded of how much beauty there is to be found in the smallest details of life.

Outfit Check: Effortless Parisian Chic
One of my favorite things about traveling to new cities is the opportunity to experience a fresh perspective on style. There’s something so satisfying about getting dressed in a place that feels new. In Paris, a simple yet chic outfit just hits different. Running errands or taking a stroll through the city feels like a runway when you’ve got the right outfit on.
My go-to look here has been all about comfort and elegance—an oversized button-down shirt paired with biker shorts and sleek slides. This combo feels so effortless yet put-together, perfect for both exploring the cobbled streets and grabbing a quick bite at a café. The simplicity of the outfit is elevated by the surroundings, making it feel like it’s been made for this moment.

Book Market Finds: Vintage Treasures
One of the best parts of wandering through cities like Paris or Reims is stumbling upon little street markets. Just like in LA, these open-air markets are full of treasures—vintage books, antique jewelry, handmade goods, and quirky trinkets. It’s like stepping into a mini history lesson, but with more style. I’m all about finding pieces that tell a story, and these markets are perfect for discovering one-of-a-kind gems.
Whether it’s a rare book or an antique pendant, there’s always something special waiting for you. And if you’re like me, you never know what you’ll find, but you’re always pleasantly surprised.
Blooms & A Cozy Fit: A Perfect Day in the Garden
There’s nothing quite like a quiet day spent picking flowers. It’s become one of my favorite traditions while I’m here—taking the time each week to gather fresh blooms for my mother-in-law. I can’t think of a better way to slow down and connect with nature.
On this day, I kept my look cozy and practical for a flower-picking outing. Classic jeans, a chunky knit sweater, and my favorite boat shoes kept me comfortable while adding a laid-back vibe. Whether I’m picking flowers or just enjoying a peaceful moment outdoors, this outfit feels like the perfect balance of style and comfort. You can shop the look right here.

What’s in My Bag: Essentials for Exploring
When you’re out and about exploring a new city, having a well-packed bag is a game changer. A spacious tote is non-negotiable for me. It’s where I keep all my must-haves, from a camera (so I can capture every picturesque corner of Reims) to my touch-up beauty essentials. My AirPods are also a must-have for solo walks when I want to unwind and take in the scenery.
And let’s not forget about haircare. I always keep my DAE Styling Cream in my bag—because not only does it smell incredible, but it also keeps my hair looking polished and put-together all day long. Whether I’m strolling through flower markets or visiting a café, I love knowing that I can look my best no matter what the day throws at me.

Field of Mustard: A Moment of Pure Joy
I stumbled upon the most breathtaking mustard field in Reims—small yellow blooms stretching out across the horizon, with the sun casting a soft, golden glow over everything. It was one of those rare moments where everything seems to align. I could’ve stayed there for hours, just soaking in the serenity of it all. It felt like a warm hug from nature, and I couldn’t resist snapping a photo to remember the moment.
If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend seeking out a mustard field—there’s something deeply calming about it.
Strawberry Season: The Sweetest Treats
One of the highlights of visiting local markets is the fresh produce. While in France, I’ve been indulging in some of the most delicious strawberries I’ve ever tasted. There’s just something about picking them fresh from the local market that makes them taste so much sweeter. I’ve been tempted to bake a strawberry shortcake, or maybe even try making some homemade jam, but for now, I’m simply enjoying them on their own.
Fresh strawberries are a little taste of summer, and in a place like France, they’re a reminder to savor the simple pleasures of life.
That’s a wrap on my recent adventures in France! From chic outfits and street market treasures to inspiring floral moments and strawberry delights, these little snapshots of life here have been so meaningful. I’m constantly inspired by the beauty around me and the way French culture encourages you to slow down and appreciate the small details.
I can’t wait to share more of my journey with you. Until next time!
