The Summer I Turned Pretty in Paris Has Me Inspired—14 Beauty and Home Items on My Fall Mood Board
Belly Conklin in The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Nothing says bummer quite like your favorite show closing in on its very last episode. Even though I'm a fully grown woman in her 30s, I have to admit that the teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty is at the top of my "shows I'm really going to miss" list. While it's undoubtedly my *summer* show, I've found myself more and more enthralled by the fall and winter atmosphere it's brought to the table lately as Belly's romantic entanglement with the Fisher brothers comes to a conclusion.

As the last few episodes have shown, there's still a lot for our girl Belly to navigate since she decided to move to Paris on a whim (major points for spontaneity). Belly's time there is opening up a whole new world for her. She's finally found a place where she can discover who she is without her family and the Fishers to lean on. I'm 100% rooting for her on her journey of self-discovery, and I have to admit I'm a little jealous. She's basically living my ultimate Parisian fantasy.

The show is really leaning into the cozy sweater weather and mulled wine aesthetic as Belly moves through the colder months in France, and of course, I found so many little things here and there to add to my fall mood board. I couldn't resist putting together a list of my fantasy Paris apartment items inspired by Belly's new chapter. If you share my "Paris in fall" obsession, keep scrolling. I'm sharing all the beauty and home items that match the aesthetic.

Maison Louis Marie No.14 Icila Candle 8.5 Oz

Maison Louis Marie

No.14 Icila Candle

Belly's Paris apartment may be filled with too many roommates, but you can't deny that it still has that Parisian charm. As soon as I saw her space, I immediately pictured myself burning this warm floral candle with notes of jasmine, dark plum, and vanilla flower.

Avidlove Womens Kimono Robe Short Satin Pure Short Silky Robes

A lacy robe feels so necessary to complete the French apartment aesthetic. This one is only $20 on Amazon. TBH, I'll probably snag it for my L.A. apartment and just pretend I live in Paris.

Buxom & the Summer I Turned Pretty - Infinite Rush Lip Gloss Kit, Limited Edition Plumping and Moisturizing Formula for Fuller-Looking Lips and High Shine Finish, Includes Two Full-Size Lip Glosses

Buxom

The Summer I Turned Pretty Infinite Rush Lip Gloss Kit

Before Belly went to Paris, she never really wore a bold lip color, but during the holidays, I noticed her wearing some gorgeous shades of red and deep pink that immediately went on my inspo board. I don't usually wear bold colors myself, but these Buxom glosses are right up my alley. They're the perfect shimmery shades that aren't over-the-top.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil With 7 Botanical Oils for Radiant Glow and Hydration for Face, Body & Hair, 3.3 Fl Oz

Nuxe

Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

This cult-loved French beauty oil has been on my wish list for ages. You can use it on your face, body, and hair—it truly does it all. With a blend of seven botanical oils, it's designed to reduce stretch marks and strengthen the skin's barrier.

Bisou Blush - Maryam

VIOLETTE_FR

Bisou Blush in Maryam

Violette_FR is one of my favorite French makeup brands. This blush is to die for because it's so pigmented but still blends seamlessly into the skin. Next on my wish list to try from the brand is Plume Lip—a matte lipstick that somehow magically has a gel-cream texture.

Cleansing and Softening Refillable Shower Oil With Almond Oil

L'Occitane

Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil

I use L'Occitane products whenever I want to add a little more luxury to my routine. The hand cream is a classic favorite, but this shower oil is perfect for the fall and winter. This silky-sweet almond oil– and grape-seed oil–rich product nourishes and softens skin but also acts as a body cleanser. It's great for all the lazy folks out there (ahem, me) who can't be bothered with a separate body cleanser and hydrator.

Phantoscope Faux Fur Solid Decorative Pillow Cover

Phantoscope

Faux Fur Solid Decorative Pillow Cover

Faux-fur throw pillows are just too cute. The whole time Belly was sitting on the couch in her Paris apartment, all I could think was that it was missing a few of these babies. These are only faux-fur covers, but you can definitely find some inexpensive throw pillows to put inside.

Eau Des Sens Eau De Toilette

Diptyque

Eau Des Sens Eau de Toilette

My Paris apartment aesthetic would never be complete without at least one Diptyque item. I have a few of Diptyque's beautifully crafted perfumes but have yet to try this floral offering just yet. Notes of orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli, and juniper berry give it an indulgent fruity-floral aroma that I know I'd want to spray endlessly around my home.

Lait Creme Sensitive

Embryolisse

Lait-Crème Sensitive Multi-Function Moisturizer

Embryolisse cream is such a beloved French moisturizer that makeup artists always swear by. My skin is super sensitive and reactive, but luckily, Embryolisse makes a version just for my skin type! If I were living in France, I'd be stocking up on this cream weekly.

Avène Thermal Spring Water

Avène

Thermal Spring Water

It might seem extra to have a thermal spring water face mist handy all the time, but in colder climates, I simply have to have it with me. Avène makes one of my absolute favorites.

De'longhi Dedica Duo Compact Espresso Machine - Cold Brew Coffee Maker With Milk Frother Wand- for Espresso, Hot & Iced Coffee, Cappuccinos, Lattes & Home Barista Brewing, Rosé Pink

De'Longhi

Dedica Duo Compact Espresso Machine

The number of De'Longhi espresso machines that were spotted on The Summer I Turned Pretty is unreal. The brand's Dinamica Plus Machine ($1700) was in Jeremiah's dorm room and his dad Adam's loft. That machine is guaranteed to be a winner, but like Belly, I'm on a tighter budget. The brand's Dedica Duo Compact Machine is equally as great, and honestly, I'm just a sucker for anything pink. Besides, my dream Paris fall aesthetic just isn't complete without my morning salted honey latte.

Remi Eau De Parfum With Citrus

By Rosie Jane

Remi Eau de Parfum

By Rosie Jane's newest fragrance is so sophisticated. When I first spritzed it, I immediately thought it smelled like a European vacation with notes of bright mandarin, fresh cardamom, and white amber.

Vintage Violet

Lola Blankets

Vintage Violet

Trust me when I say a Lola blanket is the softest thing you will ever feel in your life. I know the price tag is steep, but I'm so obsessed, and this deep violet from the fall collection is calling my name. My fantasy Paris apartment wouldn't be complete without it. If you have pets, be prepared. I can guarantee they will hog it.

N.02 the Care & Detangling Hair Brush the Essential Pink

La Bonne Brosse

N.02 The Care & Detangling Hair Brush in The Essential Pink

I know $198 seems outrageous for a brush, but hear me out. I truly think this French hairbrush brand is one of the best on the market. I've had one for a couple years now, and it's the best brush I own, hands down. It smooths frizz and flyaways in a flash, makes my hair feel silky soft, and never catches on my thick, curly hair.
