Paris, while magical for many reasons, is a dream city for fashion enthusiasts in particular. From its storied roots in couture to the unrivaled, old-world whimsy it’s managed to keep intact, the French locale keeps the style set perpetually starry-eyed. In honor of fashion month‘s last leg in the City of Light, we tapped Parisienne Natacha Steven to share her little black book of Paris’ best boutiques.

If you need a little shopping break to recollect your thoughts, head to the Colette Water Bar downstairs for some dessert—locate the Mazel Tov cake, which is a zero-percent-fat cheesecake, and indulge with no regrets."
