most wanted criminal is a weekly series in which an editor, staff member or influencer shares their 30 must-haves or items on their current wish list.
I’m one of those people who has dreamed of Paris all their life. For some of us who crave adventure in a different city, it’s New York or London, but for me, I’ve always been drawn to the romantic, luxurious, stylish City of Lights (and French bread). I just recently had the opportunity to travel to my dream city for the first time, and it’s safe to say that I’ve turned my little Paris getaway into my entire personality at this point.

With that said, I’ve created the ultimate fashion shopping list inspired by French women, including picks of the items I saw while in Paris, beauty products from luxury French brands, and even items I take with me on my travels Some selected items. I’ve covered all the bases. From the perfect red Chanel lipstick to the striped sweater I’m wearing above (now on sale), these 30 chic fashion and beauty pieces are all about chic Parisian style.
