Do You like book So Šarmom Parížanky (2000)?
Hmm, still bit undecided :-( Wondering if it's just bad timing or something is missing? Love the look, love the pics (even I'm not that old fashioned type but great work of photographer), style is easy..... and still finished turning pages and I'm left with that feeling that something is missing... might be I didn't put all my heart into it? Really not sure.Or I'm too much on side of my English favourite ones (Gok Wan and Trinny & Sussannah strangely completed by VB) that I can find enough love for this one? Think mystery is hidden bit in that while others are not playing and trying to get you in this book just describes what's in Paris without intention to drag you in. Don't take me wrong but had feeling like writer doesn't really care if I like it or not just that real Parisienne would or wouldn't do this or that....Was left dissapointed but will still give it another try later on... who knows might give it more stars with new read.

I always keep this book in my bedstand so at night when I am feeling dumpy, lumpy and sad I can remind myself that only American woman allow themselves to feel this way and the French woman embrace their ages and unique qualities. It is fun to read over and over and includes fun tips on fashion, makeup, jewelry, food, where to go when in Paris, attitudes on beauty...and the little cartoons that De La Fressange does herself throughout the whole book makes me adore her even more. If you don't have style or if you do have style or if you just want to really know how a true Parisian lives liur ( DeLa Fressanges husband died as well and she still manages to get on with it) then this is your little bible....I know it is one of my bibles. I loved it! And I have a girl crush on De La Fressange!!
