About this eBook

The author of Bonjour, Happiness! offers a revealing foray into French femininity with beauty and style secrets from the women of Paris and beyond.

French women seem to have a special knack for life's most important things—food, love, raising children. And in matters of beauty and style, they appear to be at an unfair advantage. But the truth is that French women are not born more attractive than anyone else—and everything they know can be learned.

French women learn at a young age how to feel beautiful, confident, and sexy, inside and out. It's an allure that outlasts youth—in fact, some of France's most celebrated women are femmes d'un certain âge.

Growing up, Jamie Cat Callan had a French grand-mère to instruct her on style, grooming, and genuinely liking her reflection in the mirror. Now she shares that wisdom along with advice from other French women on fragrance, image consulting, makeup, and more.

“This charming foray into French femininity will make a perfect cadeau for any Francophile lady.” —Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

This is just some trash masking as a self help book. If you have to visit tarot card readers and go occult to be chic, then this book is hogwash. It has nothing concrete to offer. In india we have such morons sitting by street corners peddling their all in one cures for every imaginable disease. We can laugh at them as preying on superstitious people, but this book is trying to get people into superstition for something frivolous as being fashionable. It's a waste of time and money.
