Don't tell me when you're a guest...
At someone's house that you don't check out their perfumes and cosmetics. Ha! Bet you do...
And their books? 
Naturalement when staying with French Girl I do likewise. So I was surprised to see two books I'd bought to figure out the Frenchie ways - Parisian Chic and... 
My Little Paris!
French Girl (who could not possibly be more Frenchie) is buying books about what the ultimate Parisian does, wears, says, bla bla bla! Huh? 
Granted WE all wanna be French Girls... 
We all wannabe delightfully, playful Amelie or soigne Charlotte Gainsborg or tragique Isabel Adjani or... 
Or creme de la creme of French Girls, perfectly imperfect Ines de la Fressange. But SO DO FRENCH GIRLS. They're just like us! Who knew? 
Yup, they wanna know how to wear a taffata bow in messy hair + designer sunglasses for that 'je ne sais quoi' look... 
Or bows on their knee socks - should they or shouldn't they? 
Like us, they hang out in front of patisserie vitrine/windows.
Back to My Little Paris book and why it's a must have. It's is written with Parisians in mind not us. It dishes all the dirt on where to thread your eyebrows, fix your place up super-Parisian, have dinner in a one-table resturant, pretend you are a connoisseur, attend a crazy trial (yep you read right), dress like a VIP, rediscover forgotten veggies (Oh yes please), turn your kids into little Picassos, laugh out loud(?), be a guinea pig for a future 3-star-chef etc. 
I personally would kill to pedal in a pool on page 26...sigh 
And secret outlet stores on page 55 - let me at em.
All highly secret info meant only for Parisians - get my drift? You can get My Little Paris' newsletter delivered to your inbox to try it out. Be sure and circle the British flag at the top when you subscribe.
Cheers, I'll be communing with mussels this weekend and shallot tart tatins..
