Ok, so this is a review about another French style and lifestyle book, just like
Ooh La La in the previous post. But this book is actually written by a blogger whose blog I had been reading for quite some time before I got the book,
Jennifer L. Scott, who writes the excellent blog
The Daily Connoisseur. And I have to say that when I started reading the book, I did recognize some of the things in it from the blog, but there was also plenty of new stuff in it. So I was definitely wrong to put off getting this book for quite some time, because I thought it would be too similar to the blog!
I liked how the book covers a lot of aspects, not only fashion or diets or something like that, but a whole lot, and it is also very personal, which is something I really appreciate in these types of books. Some people have complained that
Jennifer writes too much about her current life in the book, but I personally thought the balance was just right.
I also think that a lot of the tips mentioned in this book are more detailed and practical for every day life than advice in many similar books. So if you find other books about French style and living like the French a bit too impractical and judgmental,
Lessons from Madame Chic is definitely worth taking a look at!
All in all,
Jennifer L. Scott has manage to convince me, not only as a blogger, but as an author too, and I do think this book is one of the better ones in it's genre, just like
Ooh La La (reviewed yesterday).
