Old Town Style at 'An American in Paris'

Joelle Solimano, the owner of An American in Paris, talks to Northern Virginia magazine's Style Sense blog about this season's fashions and more.

The boutique sold only French clothes for about five years but "French clothes are not for everyone," said Solimano. Now, she sells a range of designers in sizes zero through 14.

What to look for this season? Leggings and beading, although not together.

"I love the beading, the beaded tops with the [beading] very simple around the  neck," she says.

And don't forget that fall staple—the leather jacket.

Solimano told Style Sense she hopes that when customers stop by her boutique, "I want you to feel like you're in your own closet."
