Mais oui! Paris!

During our last trip to Paris, we realized that our Canadian chic look was equivalent to Parisian frump.

We’ll happily take lessons on dressing like a true Parisian from fashion icon, Lagerfeld muse and l’Oréal Brand Ambassador, Inès de la Fressange. In her new book, Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Inès de la Fressange, the ex-Chanel model provides pointers on mixing key basics with couture touches, submits seven wardrobe essentials (blazer, trench, navy sweater, tank, little black dress, jeans, leather jacket), and offers tips on where to shop for them (in Paris and online). Accented with photos of her fashionable daughter, model Nine d’Urso, and her own illustrations, this stylish softcover will help you feel like you’re spending springtime in Paris. —JN
