Aspiring Kennedy: Brunch? Mais, oui!

Weekend brunches in Paris might just be

one of the best perks of this enchanting city...

I know it sound sacrilegious to say

about the city that offers gems like

the Eiffel Tower, St. Germain, the Musee D'Orsay...

but I have to say...

it's pretty fabulous.

The entire city seems to crawl out of bed

after indulging in a full morning of sleep,

throw on something casually fabulous,

and serendipitously encounter their friends

at the sidewalk tables of a fabulous bistro

where they spend the rest of the day

chatting and drinking champagne.

I'm sure there is more to it than that,

but this is just an outsider's observation.

While I don't really know how this fabulous culture started,

I can tell you...

if you want to get in on the fun,

you'll need to dress the part.

Here's the basic anatomy of your wardrobe for Parisian brunching.

Oui, mon ami...

you are going to look marvelous!

How do you think about brunch?

Fabulous or Forgettable?

Love a fabulous leisurely brunch... especially in Paris.

I own that striped shirt from Old Navy and it has become a favorite. Classic and so soft.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Brunch is the best! I eat light at breakfast (7am), so I am starving by 10am!!
Have you read the book "Parisian Chic" By, Ines de la Fressange? It has great style tips like the one you posted. It's a fun book to have and you would especially love it living in Paris because it tells you stores to shop at as well.
