Review: This is a beautiful book, and a treasure-trove of information! - I have a copy of this in French, but wanted to be able to share the great advice with English-reading-only friends. In actual fact, however, the format is different - the English book is wider so that the text is less cramped, and it's all-in-all easier to read. However, it shares with the French version the ultra-feminine, slightly luxurious red-and-gold faux-leather cover, making it a tactile delight! I have read a few negative comments here about the book being too Paris-centric. But surely that's inevitable?, given the very nature of the book - from it's clearly stated title, to it's Paris-based author, and her reason for writing it: she was being deluged with e-mail requests to share her "carnet de bonnes adresses å Paris" - so it seems somewhat disingenuous to complain that she has done EXACTLY THAT!! However, much of the style advice is pertinent to shoppers everywhere, and on every budget. The photos of Inès' beautiful daughter Nine, and her own whimsical sketches make this book an absolute delight. A blend of refreshing style sense and a soupçon of Gallic decadence make for a great read - highly recommended!!
Review: Inspirational. - My back was aching as I have some kind of problem, I felt rotten as I had not slept through the night for ages. Saw husband off to work then decided to go back to bed for a couple of hours. The book I had ordered from desertcart plopped throught the letter box, I was pleased not to have opened the door as I looked like ****. Parisian Chic lay on the hall floor. A cup of coffee in hand then off to bed. I am fired up by this book, no longer young by any stretch of the imagination but I am slim size 10 and wear an awful lot of black. I have always been useless at accessorising and stick to the less is more idea. Ines de la Fressange has given me a new lease of life. I have just ordered a cashmere V necked navy sweater and am looking for a mans watch, I have white straight legged jeans, must find a black plaited leather belt to finish this look, must also remember to roll up jacket sleeves, what a difference that makes. There are so many tips in this delightful book, I have not given a thought to my aching back.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Is it a 'how to' or a travel guide?
*by A***A on 9 May 2011*

I think that this book fulfils two purposes: it is a philosophical guide, and a guide to Paris. The philosophical guide: There are very few strict dress rules - quality is better than quantity, but I can see very few British women, who are not approaching 6' and very slim, following them without the need to make major adjustments. I'm 5'3", older and a size 14. I can attempt to follow the advice, but in some ways, eg the vest top, forget it if you want to look chic and do not have the arms of Michele Obama. To put it bluntly, it is a very specific Parisian philosophy that, to some extent, is anti fashion and alien to the British culture of cheap shopping and fashion statements. Her beauty tips are brilliant, especially for someone who doesn't do make-up! Her ideas for the home perhaps have been preceded by the 'House Doctor', but if the author's look is one for which you strive, the rules and instructions are there. The city guide: This I found much more useful! Where to shop, where to eat, where to stay AND what there is in Paris for children. If the first half of the book appeals to you, the second half is essential. Usefully, web addresses are given, so you can peruse and then find similar in the UK. Conclusion: I breezed through this book. I bought a similar coat to the one recommended, but concluded I should look ridiculous in the footwear constantly advertised; I did try a pair, but alas, my feet, like my body, are not French. Do I want to look like all the women in Paris? No! Do I want to simplify and reduce the size of my wardrobe? Yes! Do I want to stop feeling guilty about not usuing many cosmetics? Again, yes. I would recommend this book for those purposes. Finally, it is good to have a guide book, written by a working mother, albeit with seemingly unlimited funds. I look forward to using it on my next shoping trip to Paris.
