As I watched the horrific news and images from Paris last weekend, I found myself remembering everything I love about the city of lights. My thoughts drifted to my own personal possessions from France. Many of them are vintage now, which makes me cherish them even more. Proof that one can find inspiration in everything, even pain, I present a edit of vintage finds from Paris and beyond.
