Tahle kniha má plno úžasných myšlenek. Čekala jsem to mnohem horší.

The highlights of the book are the interviews with Emmanuelle Alt and Diane Von Furstenberg. For those interested, she also spills a little bit of the dirt on her romance and break up with Scott Schuman. This is a style guide with only a short section on wardrobe essentials: pencil skirt, pumps, white jeans, chelsea boots, bag (Lulu by Saint Laurent Paris is her favorite), biker jacket, sneakers, coat, vintage t-shirt, jean jacket, panties, ballet flats, men's shirt, white t-shirt, v-neck sweater (cashmere with deep V), sandals, hat, clutch, Ray-Ban sunglasses, mini skirt, blazer, one piece swimsuit. Other than the pumps and mini skirt, I can't argue with any of those.

An interesting book of advice, life lessons, fashion tips from photographer, blogger, and illustrator Garance Dore. I really only meant to skim this one but I really liked her warm and friendly voice. Loved all the insight into the cultural differences and similarities between life in New York City and life in Paris.

The main thing I got out of this book is that I need a pair of Chelsea boots.

Now that I can talk to you from age forty, I can tell you—don't worry, it's all good. Life is the same, only better. Never perfect, never settled, never figured out, but ever beautifully flowing.

I loved this book. It is a perfect coffee-table, easy-to-read, fun book full of humor and Parisian wisdom. The only reason I gave it 4 ⭐️ is because the beginning was a bit boring; but eventually, the story develops and you start enjoying it.

OK… This book is not as bad as "It" by Alexa Chung and not as good as "Luella’s Guide To English Style" by Luella Bartley. (The latter I consider a masterpiece in the genre, even more so after reading the other ones.) We shouldn’t be very harsh when approaching these kinds of books. After all we are looking for a light, undemanding read and something visually pleasurable. We should approach with the right set of expectations. If you enjoy it and don’t have the feeling you are losing you time, it’s ok. And truly, the first half is cool in the fashion dedicated pages and entertaining in the comparisons between parties in Paris and in New York and how it is at fashion week. (I haven’t read Doré’s blog previously, so I didn’t mind if that was already published – it was all new to me.) By the end however it gets annoying. I didn’t like that cheeky way of talking to the reader, and I didn’t really care about her love life, the light-hearted stuff bordered with the infantile, and the interviews were straight dull. What is more, the personal bits that she shares are so safe, it is as bad as a presidential autobiography.
