StyleGuide: The Parisian Muse

 Hey Babes!

Welcome back to the blog! Today, I'm back with another StyleGuide. This time we're going to look at the Parisian Muse and her effortless elegance. I will also share how you can get her look and embody her essence. Without further ado, here is the Parisian Muse.

Walking down the cobblestone streets of Paris, wandering the halls of the Louvre, or relaxing in her sun-drenched apartment, she is the epitome of understated sophistication. An enigmatic mix of classic and casual, she embodies elegance without effort. Her presence is magnetic—cool and composed yet brimming with passion. Every detail, from her tousled hair to her curated wardrobe, appears effortlessly perfect. She is everything: dramatic, classic, romantic, demure, and free-spirited. The Parisian Muse has an innate ability to turn heads and set trends wherever she goes, making even the simplest ensemble look iconic.

Fashion

Where She Shops: The Parisian Muse frequents high-end boutiques and independent designer stores. She’s a regular at vintage shops and flea markets like Marché aux Puces, where she scores timeless treasures. She’ll invest in a Chanel bag but balance it with finds from local Parisian designers like Rouje or Musier Paris.

Key Staples

• A tailored trench coat

• Cigarette trousers

• A Breton striped top

• Ballet flats or loafers

• Little black dress

How to Get the Look: Start with a neutral color palette of black, white, beige, and navy. Add a pop of red with a beret or lipstick. Focus on fit and tailoring over flashy logos or trends. Layer minimal gold jewelry for understated elegance.

Beauty

Where She Goes: To maintain her signature glow, the Parisian Muse visits luxurious spas like the Dior Institut or Sisley Spa. For nails, she opts for chic salons that specialize in minimalist manicures—think clean, neutral tones or a classic French tip.

What She Uses

• Skincare: Bioderma Sensibio H2O, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, Avène Thermal Spring Water

• Hair: Leonor Greyl hair masks for healthy, natural locks

• Makeup: A red lipstick from Lancôme, smudged for a just-kissed look; subtle eyeliner; and a light, glowing foundation like La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane.

Lifestyle

Where You Can Find Her: The Parisian Muse’s social calendar is always full. You might spot her sipping coffee at Café de Flore or Le Consulat, browsing art at Fondation Louis Vuitton, or enjoying a glass of wine at a cozy bar in Le Marais.

Her Favorite Places

• Jardin du Luxembourg for a serene afternoon walk

• Independent bookstores like Shakespeare and Company for inspiration

• Vintage markets for one-of-a-kind finds
