Ah, two subjects we love to talk about: French-girl style and Nordstrom! While the two things don't usually coincide (as of now, there are no Nordstrom locations in France), we like to keep things hypothetical and fun over here. Today, we're bringing you a French-inspired guide of what our Parisian fashion friends are likely to buy should they ever find themselves across the pond, on a budget, and wandering into a Nordstrom.
