parisian chic?

im going to paris next weekend, and i'd love to pick up a few things (clothes jewellry)that are quintessentially (i have no idea how that is spelt!) french or more specifically parisian. any suggestions?

just look out for really well cut clothes. I was over in paris in may and many of the women over there wore very understated buy classy clothes. Think well fitting jackets,jeans and if ur stuck black is always a good colour!most french women wear it. Oh and a beret!

you will get nice stuff in the metro stations, (i know its a station but lovely stuff), also if you walk up the road to mont marte (the big church near moulin rouge) you will find nice stores there. dont forget printemps in the 12th ditrict its like bt here but cheaper its in bastille (get the yellow line of the metro, its the mian one that does all the touristy stuff), champs ellese too, they are lovely and people find them expensive but i didn, alot of the prices will be still high. i found the best time to go is christmas or january cos of the snow and the sales!

always haggle with the people though if your buying from a stall or around the moulin rouge and monte mart because you can get great bargins.

Went there just over a year ago and got some really great stuff. While the bigger shops on the main streets are brilliant. Always go into the smaller shops as they tend to have more unique clothing/jewellry/shoes. Mont Mart was one of my favourite places to shop because, like lasair said above, the bargains were great!
