Well, a few days ago, Chad and I were walking up Main Street in Red Hook, a small town on the Hudson River, and lo and behold, there was a store called Basic French. Sure enough, it’s one and the same! Quel chance! Carol Neiley, the owner, wasn’t in, but we poked around and saw even more chicness than what’s on the site. Miraculously, I managed to not spend too much. Just bought one candle by Gellis Dewarin, $28. (Thé Noir, a fresh blend of green tea and lime. Ahhhh. I highly recommend it.) — Angela M.

Most of the housewares I saw on the site the last time I was there weren't anything I couldn't find equivalents for locally (sometimes also French-made, sometimes not). So - I would go for the items with some kind of iconic style to them. I love Sophie the Giraffe – a wee squeaky rubber giraffe that is apparently a childhood icon, and that they sell there.

I have a bichon and he is the best! Also, he would love Paris. Can I be a tiny dork and bask in the fact that they use a bichon to model that sweater? I have a bichon and he is the best!
