I’ll be honest, I’ve been burned by online shopping more times than I care to admit. That “adorable” dress that looked amazing on the model? It arrived and felt like a cheap Halloween costume. But over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting quality pieces before I even add them to my cart, and…

I’ve spent years trying to crack the code of looking put-together without looking like I tried too hard. You know that effortless chic thing French women supposedly have?
