How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are
How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style, and Bad Habits | Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline De Maigret, Sophie Mas
From four stunning and accomplished French women -- at last -- a fresh and spirited take on what it really means to be a Parisienne: how they dress, entertain, have fun and attempt to behave themselves. In short, frisky sections, these Parisian women give you their very original views on style, beauty, culture, attitude and men. The authors--Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas -- unmarried but attached, with children -- have been friends for years. Talented bohemian iconoclasts with careers in the worlds of music, film, fashion and publishing, they are untypically frank and outspoken as they debunk the myths about what it means to be a French woman today. Letting you in on their secrets and flaws, they also make fun of their complicated, often contradictory feelings and behavior. They admit to being snobs, a bit self-centered, unpredictable but not unreliable. Bossy and opinionated, they are also tender and romantic. You will be taken on a first date, to a party, to some favorite haunts in Paris, to the countryside, and to one of their dinners at home with recipes even you could do -- but to be out with them is to be in for some mischief and surprises. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, look natural, make your boyfriend jealous, and how they feel about children, weddings and going to the gym. And they will share their address book in Paris for where to go: At the End of the Night, for A Birthday, for a Smart Date, A Hangover, for Vintage Finds and much more. How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are will make you laugh as you slip into their shoes to become bold and free and tap into your inner cool. From the Hardcover edition.

When this book was donated to one of my LF l's, I took it as a sign since this is my year of reading Paris books. I can't say I loved the whole book, but I really enjoyed much of it. I read it on and off in fits and starts, small bites, throughout the summer which was a good way for me to read this one. 😊

? "When it comes to kissing, the Parisienne does it the same way she does everything else : with cinematic flair. Preferably, all kissing should take place in the middle of the street.."?

Bought this as I follow one of the incredulously chic authors, model and chanel muse (married to rockstar too ?) Caroline de maigret on instagram. She seems as Parisian as they come. How would she would write about my Paris, being someone I am not, but would ? to be. Pure voyeurism. This is a great "dip-in-dip-out" reference book, rather than a cover to cover read . A great list of secrets and try- hard rules to follow before my next visit.

I‘m a certified Francophile, but this book was just not what I was expecting. Handing out tips on cheating and how to mess with your guy is just not info I was hoping to glean from it. Being part French, there was some observations I related to (must be a genetic thing, lol) but I ended up to skimming over the rest of the book and reading only parts I was interested in. Not a book I‘ll be adding to my personal library. #LibraryReturn #SavedMoney

Saw this woman reading a book, carrying a bouquet of flowers upside down on the Paris metro and looking just unbearably chic. Those Parisian women!

Reviewsbylola Unbelievably chic. 6y

Dolly :::sigh::: Carrying flowers that way is probably a good idea when you think about it. 6y

To be honest though, this Pan was really my bad. I forgot that I hate being told how I should act or who I should want to be. Actually, I intensely dislike the word "should." Thank you, #CatholicSchool.

I did appreciate the shoutouts to the Simones Veil and de Beauvoir.

elkeOriginal 🙌 (High five, not a praise jesus - Catholic school survivor here😉) 7y
Michelle_mck My Catholic schools were the opposite - no should for us. Maybe Australian schools are different 7y
thec0zy @elkeo 🙌🏻 we gotta stick together! 7y
thec0zy @Michelle_mck maybe! I'm kinda jealous of your lack of "should." Did you get any guilttripping? 7y
Michelle_mck @thec0zy no none at all... it wasn't strict - we had discipline but not over the top 7y

My favorite lifestyle book. Whenever I pick it up, it's a reminder that I am not different; just Parisian.
