St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur

First to recommend

Description

i shamelessly admit the urge to dab this elderflower liquer behind the ears on occasion - softly scented elderflowers are both sexy & sweet. although a favorite among expert mixologists, i prefer this liquer in the most unfussy, french way - chilled with sparkling water & lemon for an ultralight aperitif. you won't be ashamed to leave this bottle on you counter either, gorgeous!

the loss of monsieur saint laurent rocked the fashion world this year. honor his memory every time you pull out this super chic, silver wallet in a totally understated size & overstated hue. it's a classic that will endure - getting a fabulous burnished patina the more you handle it.

moulin baussy olive oil

First to recommend

Description

this is possibly the tastiest olive oil i've ever had the pleasure of trying. it's like fruity velvet, so smooth & light, perfect with a crusty parisian baguette, tossed with baby lettuces or drizzled over a tartelette. don't think about cooking with it - this one is savored just the way it is. charming packaging complete with the waxed cork seal makes it a great hostess gift too. (via fig & olive)

Les Prairies de Paris Patent Open Toe Flats

i think i've found my must-have transitional shoe for the last days of summer & first days of fall. always smart, glossy patent with just enough height from the hidden wedge to elongate the leg. it's paired down glam in a very paris kinda way. (via shopbop)
