The Summer I Turned Pretty in Paris Inspires Me—14 Beauty and Home Products Featured on My Fall Mood Board

      (Image credit: Everett Collection) Nothing quite compares to the disappointment of your favorite series reaching its final episode. Although I’m a grown woman in my 30s, I can’t help but admit that the teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty ranks high on my list of shows I’ll genuinely miss. While it's certainly my *summer* series, I've increasingly become captivated by the autumn and winter vibes it has introduced lately as Belly’s romantic journey with the Fisher brothers approaches its finale.

      As the recent episodes indicate, Belly has plenty to figure out since she impulsively decided to move to Paris (major credit for spontaneity). Her time in Paris is revealing a new side of her. She’s finally discovered a space to figure out her identity away from her family and the Fishers. I’m wholeheartedly cheering her on in her quest for self-discovery, and I must confess that I feel a bit envious. She’s essentially living my dream Parisian life.

      The series is really embracing the cozy sweater weather and mulled wine theme as Belly experiences the chilly months in France, and of course, I found numerous little items to add to my fall mood board. I couldn’t resist compiling a list of fantasy Paris apartment essentials inspired by Belly’s new adventures. If you share my obsession with "Paris in fall," keep scrolling. I’m revealing all the beauty and home items that fit the aesthetic.

      Maison Louis Marie

      No.14 Icila Candle

      Belly’s Paris apartment may be crowded with roommates, but it still exudes Parisian allure. The moment I saw her place, I envisioned myself lighting this warm floral candle with hints of jasmine, dark plum, and vanilla flower.

      A lacy robe is absolutely essential to complete the French apartment vibe. This one is just $20 on Amazon. Honestly, I’ll probably get it for my L.A. apartment and pretend I'm living in Paris.

      Buxom

      The Summer I Turned Pretty Infinite Rush Lip Gloss Kit

      Before Belly headed to Paris, bold lip colors weren’t really her thing, but during the holidays, I spotted her wearing stunning red and deep pink shades that made their way onto my inspiration board. I typically steer clear of bold colors, but these Buxom glosses have just the right amount of shimmer without being too over-the-top.

      Nuxe

      Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

      This highly coveted French beauty oil has been on my wish list forever. It's versatile enough for use on the face, body, and hair—truly a jack of all trades. With a blend of seven botanical oils, it's designed to minimize stretch marks and fortify the skin's barrier.

      VIOLETTE_FR

      Bisou Blush in Maryam

      Violette_FR is among my favorite French cosmetic brands. This blush is irresistible due to its rich pigmentation and smooth blendability. Next on my list from the brand is the Plume Lip—a matte lipstick that has an astonishing gel-cream texture.

      L'Occitane

      Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil

      I reach for L'Occitane products whenever I want to infuse a bit of luxury into my routine. While the hand cream is a classic favorite, this shower oil is ideal for fall and winter. Enriched with silky almond and grape-seed oils, it nourishes and softens the skin while also functioning as a body cleanser—perfect for those lazy days (like mine) when you don't want to bother with separate cleanser and moisturizer.

      Phantoscope

      Faux Fur Solid Decorative Pillow Cover

      Faux-fur throw pillows are just too adorable. While watching Belly lounge on the couch in her Paris apartment, I kept thinking it could use a few of these cuties. These are just faux-fur covers, but you can definitely find affordable throw pillows to fill them.

      Diptyque

      Eau Des Sens Eau de Toilette

      My Paris apartment vibe wouldn’t feel complete without at least one Diptyque product. I own a few of their exquisitely crafted perfumes, but I haven't tried this floral scent yet. With notes of orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli, and juniper berry, it offers an indulgently fruity-floral fragrance that I would love to spritz around my home endlessly.

      Embryolisse

      Lait-Crème Sensitive Multi-Function Moisturizer

      Embryolisse cream is a highly regarded French moisturizer that makeup artists rave about. My skin is quite sensitive, but thankfully, Embryolisse has a version tailored for that! If I were in France, I’d be stocking up on this cream weekly.

      Avène

      Thermal Spring Water

      It may seem excessive to keep thermal spring water mist handy at all times, but in colder climates, it's a must-have. Avène produces one of my absolute favorites.

      De'Longhi

      Dedica Duo Compact Espresso Machine

      The number of De'Longhi espresso machines I
