I've always dreamed of living in Paris and Provence. I'm a French girl at heart. I'm obsessed with French culture: the language (which I studied for 12 years), the food, the landscape and architecture, not to mention the fashion. I'll always favor the nonchalant, effortlessly chic outfit formulas that embody the French aesthetic we talk about so often here at Who What Wear.
So with the holiday season upon us, today I wanted to share my love for all things French with this chic curated gift guide that captures the spirit of the French style and joie de vivre. Included in the mix are items from French brands we know and love as well as chic and elegant accessories, luxurious beauty products, culinary delights, and books and décor that ooze French charm. If you're looking for French-themed gifts for the Francophiles in your life, don't miss out on these chic finds below.
