Style Inspiration: Parisian Chic

Eric Bompard – Cashmere Heaven

After reading Ines de la Fressange new book Parisian Chic which outlines just exactly how to attain what seems unattainable – the cool joie de vivre of our lovely French counterparts – I have walked away with many ideas that I want to incorporate into my wardrobe, life and next visit to Paris.

And while I can’t post my review until Monday, April 4th, I thought I’d at least share with you the style essential I am adding to my wardrobe and the company that Ines highly recommends to purchase it from – Eric Bompard. Ines states in her book “Eric Bompard is often cited as the official supplier of virtually every Parisian [for navy cashmere sweaters].”

With that said, I quickly got online and visited his site and was immediately impressed. Not only do they have somewhat reasonable prices, but they also have oodles of choices in style and color.
