A French Woman on a Budget Shops on Amazon Prime Day—27 Items She'd Buy Immediately

Ah, two things I love to talk about: French style and a great sale. If you love both as much as I do, then you've come to the right place! The Amazon Prime Day sale is taking place right now—only on July 16 and 17—and you can score major discounts across fashion, beauty, home and more. This year, I'm approaching my shopping with a game plan, predominantly seeking out classic and elevated basics that exude an effortlessly chic French-girl aesthetic.
Below, you'll find everything from relaxed button-downs to must-have straw bags and elevated basics that I'm pretty certain our Parisian friends would likely buy if they should find themselves shopping Amazon's epic sale.
Keep scrolling for the ultimate guide to shopping Amazon like a stylish French person. De rien!
