Book Review, "A Guide to Elegance" by G. A. Dariaux



The french have that je ne sais quoi but if it's joie de vivre you're looking for, take this reading with a grain of salt! Some will find her recommendations far too ridgid, but I loved imagining that Genevieve was my long-deceased grandmother, who had adoringly left me her personal memoirs on elegance. It's a great reference guide to have on hand when you are invited to a grand event or trip and you have no idea how to prepare, let alone feel presentable & comfortable...all huge elements of style! Genevieve doesn't mess around. She's got your back down to every last detail.

p.s.
My darling Russian friend...a true lady in every way...says she owns every "key" wardrobe piece Genevieve recommends. We're on to something here!
