It's a must-have for any non-French woman (present) who seeks that je ne sais quois that French women possess (present). The author herself is American but is married to a Frenchman, and insists that you too can attain the glamor and mysteriousness of the French with the help of her insider tips and must-dos.

On Our Radar: Upcoming French Flick Targets Fashionistas
French director Laetitia Colombani's next flick could have us pining for fashion in the way that Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette left us drooling for macaroons.
Mes Stars et moi or My Stars and Myself, starring Emmanuelle Béart (left), Catherine Deneuve and Mélanie Bernier, is about actresses who go from fashion shoots to premieres wearing the trendiest designer brands. Supposedly, Béart sports Dior couture; Deneuve goes all out in Yves Saint Laurent, Hermès, Prada, and Fendi; and Bernier dons Lanvin.

While checking out the latest goods in a shop at The Grove in LA, Rachel Bilson donned a comfy yet cute ensemble.

The Bag to Have: French Connection Layered Ribbon Clutch
If Lanvin's Pop Ribbon Clutch ($1,565) had a younger, more frugal sister, it would be this French Connection Layered Ribbon Clutch ($20, originally $118).
