No matter the season, French fashion always plays a big part in my outfit planning (especially as a former American in Paris). But it's not always the easiest to find styles that I could imagine on the chicest Parisian women stateside. So imagine my excitement when I spotted J.Crew's latest collaboration with Paris-based brand (and French It Girl favorite), Rouje. The Rouje X J.Crew Collection is filled with gorgeous designs, from this chic LBD ($178) that could be worn for practically any occasion to this pretty floral skirt ($128) that's begging for a stroll on Rue Saint-Honoré. My only problem? Deciding which pieces I'm going to add to my own closet. If you feel the same, I've pulled six of my favorite finds from the collection below to get you started.

I'm obsessed with everything about this dress. From its lightweight, 100 percent cotton fabric (which won't feel too hot now and will be perfect for layering come cooler fall weather) to the delicate design details like the bow at the front and ruffle hem, I just love it all. Not to mention, that just-above-the-knee length feels totally office appropriate but great for the weekends, too.

Personally, if I had to choose just one item to buy from this collection, it would be this bold-yet-delicate red cardigan. The open-stitch knit cotton should feel light and airy while it's still hot out, plus I adore the scalloped details on the sleeves and neckline. And that slightly cropped length? Perfect for pairing with everything from high-waisted linen pants or jeans to skirts or even A-line dresses, so I just know I'd wear it constantly.

This slip-style skirt practically screams "Paris." I mean, just look at those elegant lace details, that watercolor-like floral pattern and versatile knee-grazing length. It's also made from a lightweight viscose fabric that you should have no trouble wearing from now through fall. And if you're quick, you just might be able to snag the gorgeous matching top ($98) in your size—but I'd hurry if I were you because it's selling fast.

If you've been lacking a quality blazer in your wardrobe—especially one that's versatile enough for work and weekends—don't skip this one. It has a chic checkered pattern that's subtle enough to pair with solids and other patterns, plus an oversized fit that allows for extra layers underneath. As for the material, it's a wool/cotton/polyester blend that should feel warm and durable, so if you ask me, it's definitely a worthwhile investment to don for years to come.

Polka dots are trending in a big way this season, so I have no doubt this lace-trimmed midi will sell out in a flash. Especially considering it has a wrap style that the brand notes was specially designed to have an ultra-flattering fit, along with the prettiest lace trim around the sleeves and neckline. Essentially, it can't get any better, so get your hands on it before it's too late.

T-shirts with subtle embroidery at the neckline have been trending all summer long, and after I spotted this charming baby tee that's part of the collection, I took it as my sign to finally pick one up (and you probably should, too). It's designed with lettuce-trim sleeves for a bit of extra style, and the soft modal/cotton blend construction is just the cherry—or should I say flower—on top.
