Emily in Paris Inspired Fashion
Style
Fashion Designer Patricia Fields took the classic looks of American in Paris, Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, and her own whimsical original twist on American millennial fashion with bright vibrant colors, a mixture of patterns, and ankle booties for the character Emily Cooper. There is also a nod to Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw with the iconic tulle skirt. The tone on tone bright pink and eclectic mixed patterns that Emily wears is a playful contrast to the solid colors of black, grey, navy, and crème that reflect the minimalistic chic style of Parisian women. Look for current on fashion trends of houndstooth, buffalo check patterns, berets, caps, bucket hats, booties, and cropped leather jackets.
Below are some fashion-inspired looks from Emily in Paris with affordable options.

Fanciful Tulle
Style
Patricia Fields chose high-end designer clothing for Emily’s wardrobe. For her first business soiree, Emily wore a black bustier from Alexandre Vauthier at $1,290 paired with a tulle skirt. My Emily in Paris inspired black bustier is from White House Black Market. It is well constructed with impeccable tailoring and is on sale now for $29.99. Here I paired this with the Eloise tulle midi skirt in black from Morning Lavender. The bustier is one of my favorite pieces and it is a versatile layered piece with a mesh houndstooth turtleneck also worn underneath from White House Black Market. I love the simplicity of Emily’s single pearl choker adding a touch of elegance. My dainty pearl necklace is a set with earrings on sale from Macy’s.

In one of the episodes, Emily goes to the Paris Opera House. I love treasure hunting (now online) for vintage brooches that represent a show, moment of my life or inspiration. I found this Paris Opera House brooch with the comedy and drama masks on eBay.
Bakery and Bread
Taste
“Organic, Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free, Soy-Free, Gum-Free, Refined Sugar Free”
Emily has many adventures in Paris including experiencing the delicious bakery. I wanted to share a gluten-free alternative right here in Los Angeles, CA (National and Local Delivery is available)! Breadblok is a gluten-free bakery for everyone. They only use the finest, purest ingredients to make artisan breads and pastries that satisfy the needs of every health-conscious lifestyle. Most importantly, they do it without sacrificing taste. I love how the menu designates with a DF that is dairy-free and V for Vegan too! Order their Buckwheat Sourdough, Rosemary Crackers, Lemon, and Thyme Shortbread to name a few options.

I love featuring affordable options and coordinating clothing pieces that are stylish but that are accessible to everyone. We are all watching our budgets and choosing an investment piece like a houndstooth jacket can take an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary.
