I love how-to books on wardrobe building, dressing, fashion, and style; especially those based on a Paris or French mentality . I have always held Susan Sommers' "French Chic" as my favorite and will investigate finding a used copy of "French Style".<br /><br />Are there other French style/chic fashion, dressing, style, wardrobe based books that YOU would highly recommend?<br />LlaLlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-70864112186543825592011-06-30T11:42:57.197-04:002011-06-30T11:42:57.197-04:00Carol,

Great review! Agree - it's not all Champagne and roses. When I first arrived in Paris it was terrifyingly fast: day 1 in the metro was witnessing a woman walking slowly and Monsieur busybody trying to get past her - finally screaming "Mais marchez!"

I'm enjoying La Seduction per your recommendation. <br /><br />Real life stories give a different kind of information than "how-to" books. All in all, I'd rather have grey days and feeling lost in Paris than where I'm at right now.
