At Home with Madame Chic
At Home with Madame Chic: Becoming a Connoisseur of Daily Life | Jennifer L. Scott
7 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
Approach life at home the Madame Chic way: a beautiful, illustrated toolbox of tips and ideas for organizing, entertaining, and savoring a stylish life. When she arrived at Madame Chics Parisian apartment as a foreign exchange student, Jennifer Scott was a casual California girl who thought sweatpants were appropriate street attire. Madame Chic took Jennifer under her wing and tutored her in the secrets of how the French elevate the little things in life to the art of living. Years later, Jennifer was back in California with a husband, two young daughters, a dog, and her first home. Every day she confronted mundane duties like folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher, and she began to think about Madame Chics homehow the breakfast table was set beautifully the night before, the music that always played in the background, the calm of Madame and Monsieur Chics ritual cocktail hour together. Jennifer wanted that life. She decided to see what would happen if she didnt perform her chores impatiently or mindlessly, if, instead, she could live like Madame Chic. At Home with Madame Chic reveals the secrets to having a happy, fulfilling, and passionate life at home. Jennifer explains the morning send-off need not be chaotic, its possible to look stylish with minimal time and effort, a little forethought makes it possible to serve a home-cooked dinner every night, and details like music and scented candles can set the tone for the whole familys evening. Organized by the pleasures that can be found throughout the day, this charming, helpful book is full of ideas, playlists, recipes, beauty routines, and advice that can turn an irritating day into an enjoyable experience.

Slowly working my way through my 2020 goal of reading all of Jane Austen‘s books and JLS‘s Madame Chic series. Its been slow due to my mom‘s health issues and eventual passing. #RIPMom Time to work on myself...

Scott states that there are books on style, organization, etc. yet nothing really puts them all together. She boldly asserts that this is the book! Inspired by her French friends as well as a stint living in Paris, she brings tips of elegance to the drudgery of everyday life. I was surprised there was so much detail on managing children. Her main message is to savor simple pleasures throughout the day and create a sense of luxury for the mundane.

I learned that "elevenses" is essentially a simpler alternative to brunch. ?☕

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jennifer L. Scott is a lovely human being. I adored Lessons From Madame Chic, and I'm so glad I picked up the sequel. This book had so many little insights into how to make your house a home and take delight in the time you spend there...even in the "mundane" daily tasks. I love her writing style. Her personality flies off the page! She is the definition of "chic" and "je ne sais quoi".
