{Style Expert} When in Paris…

Gigi Grimstad of Jamie in Nashville weighs in on French designer duds:

Gigi Grimstad is the owner of Jamie in Nashville, Tennessee, which she opened in 1973.  Nashville elite (including Faith Hill and our own FOF founder Mary Carol Fridell) swear by her store for their designer duds. Here are her premier Parisian picks:

Lanvin Stilettos, “Lanvin’s killer runway stilettos have a metal spike heel and chain and leather around the ankle. They are spectacular on!”

Lanvin Flats, “Lanvin’s flats are for the woman who seeks edge coupled with comfort. They have a lucite heel and a chain around the ankle – definite must haves.”

Lanvin Silk Shift and Cotton Dress, “Lanvin’s spring collection is the French woman’s dream. The beautiful khaki dress with a twist on the shoulder is understated sophistication and the hot pink silk shift with the flower at the waist is a fun punch!”

Vionnet Skirt and Dress, “The prettiest of the prettiest French is Vionnet. The fine architectural pieces are for those that understand being beautiful is simply wearing something beautiful and feeling gorgeous in it.”
