SynopsisInspired by Paris, this lighthearted and deceptively wise contemporary memoir serves as a guidebook for women on the path to adulthood, sophistication, and style, perfect for any woman looking to lead a more fulfilling, passionate, and artful life. Paris may be the City of Light, but for many it is also the City of Transformation. When Jennifer Scott arrived in Paris as an exchange student from California, she had little idea she would become an avid fan of French fashion, lifestyle, and sophistication. Used to a casual life back home, in Paris she was hosted by a woman she calls "Madame Chic," mistress of a grand apartment in the Sixteenth Arrondissement. Madame Chic mentors Jennifer in the art of living, with elegance and an impeccably French less-is-more philosophy. Three-course meals prepared by the well-dressed Madame Chic (her neat clothes covered by an apron, of course) lure Jennifer from her usual habit of frequent snacks, junk food, sweatpants, and TV. Additional time spent with "Madame Bohemienne," a charming single mother who passionately embraces Parisian joie de vivre , introduces readers to another facet of behind-closed-doors Parisian life. While Francophiles will appreciate this memoir of a young woman's adventure abroad, others who may not know much about France will thrill to the surprisingly do-able (yet chic ) hair and makeup lessons, plus tips on how to create a capsule wardrobe with just ten useful core pieces. Each chapter of Lessons from Madame Chic reveals the valuable secrets Jennifer learned while under Madame Chic's tutelage--tips you can master no matter where you live or the size of your budget. Embracing the classically French aesthetic of quality over quantity, aspiring Parisiennes will learn the art of eating (deprive yourself not; snacking is not chic), fashion (buy the best you can afford), grooming ( le no-makeup look ), among other tips. From entertaining to decor, you will gain insights on how to cultivate old-fashioned sophistication while living an active, modern life. Lessons from Madame Chic is the essential handbook for a woman that wants to look good, live well, and enjoy that Parisian je ne sais quoi in her own arrondissement., Inspired by Paris, this lighthearted and deceptively wise contemporary memoir serves as a guidebook for women on the path to adulthood, sophistication, and style. Jennifer Scott's self-published success is now a beautifully packaged and fully illustrated gift book, perfect for any woman looking to lead a more fulfilling, passionate, and artful life.

The art of living, French style!
This book is a sweet reminder of the art of living, which is so helpful as we are quarantined in place. The little rhythms of the day, setting an inviting table, having pleasant music to accompany us through the day, getting dressed and feeling good about our appearance, and simply having a routine, I find incredibly inspiring as i pass the long days around the house. A fun and useful read!

A Fun and Motivational Read, highly recommend!
This book is such a fun read, and very motivational to "up my game" in the chic department! I enjoyed the personal anecdotes of her experiences living in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, and her application of what she learned into her daily life back in the US. I am about to move on to read her next book, and am very much looking forward to doing so!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Everything I Ever Needed To Know….
The Madame Chic Series is AMAZING, and definitely a must for humanity! The books are as compelling to read, as they are relevant. It’s like these books took all my scattered thoughts and views and put them all together in a very neat and organized way, where I can easily review them and put them into practice. Thank you Jennifer L. Scott for producing such an excellent book (and audiobook) that really does teach a person, class, grace, and dignified living, no matter what the conditions. Truly appreciated. THANK YOU!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Beautiful Inspiration for an elegant chic lifestyle.
Love this book and every book in the Madame Chic series. Jennifer L. Scott writes from her heart and inspires ladies to be their best in dress, home and every day life. She shares simple concepts that help add elegance and style inspiration. Her ten-item wardrobe concept has changed my life! I no longer have unnecessary clutter or buy just anything to wear. Now, I'm more intentional about my style, and wardrobe. I also learned to enjoy and use elegant things in my life. You will learn poise, elegance and many tips to becoming a chic connoisseur lady. Defintely recommend for women of all ages. It's never to late to learn to be chic!
