The dollar was strong and I filled up my bags and eventually the container that moved me back home with clothes, linen, furniture, and antique everything: mirrors and coffee tables, as well as objets that I still love: an Art Nouveau picture frame, a well-patina-ed match holder, and a chrome torchère I lugged on the 96 bus across Paris. My Agnès B leather trousers, too, have withstood the test of time, as has a YSL dinner jacket that never looks dated.These days, it takes some imagination to justify the Parisian spending binge because not only are things often cheaper stateside, but those once-rare items like Diptyque candles, savon de Marseille, and Ladurée macarons are easily found at home.

But shopping is still one of the most satisfying pleasures of a trip to France, where stores and markets overflow with gorgeous, heady stuff. Recently, while criss-crossing the country to research my book 100 Places in France Every Woman Should Go, I took note of what I wanted to bring home again and again, and items—let's call them souvenirs—that I bought, love, and will seek out next time.How To Clean Jet Spa TubTwo notes: My first stop, wherever I land in France, is Monoprix. Wheels And Tyres For Range RoverI stock up on crinkled cotton scarves and basics I need or forgot: rain boots, gloves, a nightgown.

To take such a large, varied country and attempt to distill its aesthetic into a formula to be duplicated the world over is futile. Regardless, it's a game the rest of the world loves to play.

And you can hardly blame us: from uber-chic apartments in Paris to cozy country homes in Provence, France has style in spades. But what I think most people who claim to love "French style" are really after is that particular modern-meets-traditional-meets-glam look so often found in Parisian apartments (or the ones that turn up on the internet, at least). So while the real list of secrets for achieving that look might read something like be a millionaire, live in a beautiful Haussmannian building on the Left Bank, don't have kids, decorate with a mix of priceless antiques and irreverent finds from les puces, etc, I'll do my very best to give you some more practical advice. Ariana's Perfect Parisian View (Image credit: Submitted by Ariana) Use the Right White Generally speaking, you don't see a lot of bold color on the walls of French homes. Particularly in Paris, it's all about white. But this isn't a cold, blue-based white, and nor is it an overly yellow one.

Parisian white sits just warm of center: picture a creamy white that's had an almost-imperceptible dose of pink added, and you've got it. I love Farrow & Ball Pointing for recreating this glow, and I've heard that Benjamin Moore Mascarpone is a good dupe Stateside. Libby & Tim's Natural & Glamorous Parisian Flat (Image credit: Katy Cartland) Make a Feature of Your Features The main reason we go gaga over those prewar, whitewashed Parisian apartments? All the lush architectural features, of course: soaring ceilings! Not every home has these assets, and adding historic trim to a 1980s house would surely look a little odd. But if you are lucky enough to have some original features or epic proportions in your home, show them off! Make sure your lighting shows off the moldings you've got, hang curtains high to show off vertical height, and avoid covering up panelling with busy gallery walls. Siire's Eclectic, Happy Apartment in Paris Speaking of gallery walls, you'd be hard pressed to find one in a "typical" Parisian apartment.

The French know the value of minimalism, and aren't afraid of empty space, on their walls or their floors. Art is often large and singular, or simply not there at all. They'll often forgo an area rug where others might automatically place one (maybe they just want to show off those fantastic parquet floors), and furniture is given room to breathe. So rather than filling up your home for the sake of it, try applying Coco Chanel's famous quote about removing accessories to the home: less is more. (Image credit: Laplace & Co) If It's Not Broke, Don't Fix It North Americans often suffer from a preoccupation with new, while the French don't seem to. Shiny kitchens and bathrooms aren't the be-all and end-all, and older, worn pieces of furniture are placed next to newer pieces and antiques with little concern. Try moving some of your older items around your home to see them in a new light, or "cheat" by finding some vintage pieces at a flea market, another thing the French have going for them.
