Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
I’m one of those people who have spent their whole lives dreaming of Paris. For some of us who long for adventures in different cities, it’s New York or London, but for me, I’ve always been drawn to the romantic, luxurious, fashionable City of Lights (and baguettes). I just recently got the opportunity to take my first journey to my dream city, and it’s safe to say I have turned my little Parisian getaway into my entire personality at this point.

With that being said, I created the ultimate chic French-woman-inspired shopping list of picks I saw while I was in Paris, beauty items from luxury French houses, and even some picks I brought with me on my trip. I have covered all of the bases. From the perfect shade of red Chanel lipstick to the exact striped sweater I’m wearing above (which is now on sale), these 30 chic fashion and beauty items just scream chic Parisian.
