I always get so excited for each issue of Vogue Paris, it is by far my favorite magazine. It has been since my freshman year at Parsons School of Design when I began living in NYC and international magazines became available to me. Prior to that I thought W Magazine was the best magazine in the world. When I came across French Vogue it was like a whole new world of fashion, layout, design… I was truly mesmerized. From then on I began subscribing to the magazine. Ever since my first encounter with the magazine- each time I open a new issue of Vogue Paris, as stupid as it sounds, I have that same feeling of excitement and curiosity. I learn something new each issue, wether its styling, conceptual, etc. Yesterday I purchased the September 2014 Issue.

One of the many things that caught my eye in this issue was the editorial “Frenchy“, photographed by David Sims and styled by Emanuelle Alt . I am not only in love with the images, the styling is terribly inspiring. I will certainly be attempting to dress like this–starting today. I found some more affordable options to get the look, and even made some purchases while doing so. (see below)

I just purchased a pair of black super flared jeans at Free People. I had to look around a bit more while on the Free People’s site, they have so many awesome pieces this season. I also purchased this amazing shaggy sweater that I will probably wear as a light jacket this fall, I may even belt it. I was in search of cowboy boots I came across a cool and affordable pair at topshop. I also love the double breasted coat featured in the editorial, I found one at J.Crew, it’s classic and stylish (J.crew always makes a good Pea Coat). For the hat, check out my post on hats of the season here.
