In lieu of the usual amount of travel work that often fills my days and weeks, (though I’m excited that I’ll be returning to traveling soon!) - I’ve tried to come up with other subject matter to shoot that’s fun for me and still inspired by my love of travel. Enter today’s #francophilefriday Valentine’s Day gift guide. ❤️🇫🇷
1) My new favorite item of clothing tops the list, this sweatshirt by @clarevivier which is obviously French-inspired, as is everything she makes, but Made In America. LA in fact. There’s even a hand-stitched French flag on one cuff!
2) A @diptyque candle because I’ll never forget the first time I walked into one of their Paris boutiques and smelled their candles for the first time.
3) And since I can never get through a plane ride without copious amounts of moisturizer, a few tubes of @loccitane lotion with @riflepaperco embellishment {one of my favorite brand collabs of the last few years, they’re offering a gift with purchase in @loccitaneusa stores through Feb 11} then,
4) basically anything from inside the jewelbox that is a @trudon1643 boutique. Their candles and perfume have a French heritage dating back to the 1600s! I was so excited to discover them last week with Susan of @thefrancophiles! And they too have a gift with purchase in their NYC boutique through Sunday.
Last, but certainly not least, 5) a gift for Francophile bibliophiles: books about Paris by my uber talented friends 📚 #TheNewParis from @lostncheeseland, #ParisInBloom by @georgiannalane and #ParisInColor by @nicholerobertson.
Grateful to L’Occitane and Cire Trvdon for the #gifts included in this list. All other items I purchased myself. #valentinesdaygiftideas #thefrancophiles #clarevivier #diptyquecandle #loveloccitane
