Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned While Living in Paris Review: Enjoyable read if not taken to the extreme - This book was featured in an article in Victoria Magazine. In general I'm not interested in self-help books, but in reading the sample it seemed interesting. I found the book an enjoyable read with good reminders, as long as not taken to the extreme. No need to go to a 10-item warddrobe or to wear cashmere on a daily basis, but don't overload your closet with clothing you will never wear or outfits which aren't flattering. And, yes, American's have become sloppy, something I noticed when visiting Target right after reading her chapters on style, but there are valid reasons for not wearing same clothes around the house, doing yardwork, cleaning, etc. Overall the book is a reminder to eat better with fewer snacks, try to look good even when home, excercise, etc. Review: One of my favorite self-care, style, respect yourself, present yourself well books! Full of great suggestions. 5 Stars!! - This is one of my absolute favorite self-care, style, lifestyle, get-your-act-together-and-respect-yourself, how to present yourself well to yourself and others without making a big effort out of it or acting like a snob books. As a young adult the author traveled to France to live for a short time, and the lessons she learned there about fashion, food, home styling, self care and beauty routines changed her life forever. The most wonderful thing about this book is how simplistic it is! The tips and suggestions are simple, practical, logical, and easy to adapt for just about anyone anywhere. She makes a point of this by presenting the two families she lived with while in France and how even though the families were different (where they lived, their individual style) the principals of their approach to life is the same. This book is a great read for any age - from teens to young adults to anyone older, middle aged on up. There's no age restrictions on taking care of oneself! This book is also - although not presented as such - actually a money and time saver, specifically the tips about what to wear and beauty routines. Even the tips about what hair cut works best for each person make a lot of sense and are ultimately a time saver. This is the kind of book that readers will keep handy and refer to often. Sometimes I pick this book up and re-read different sections, especially if I need a style/care boost or a reminder why I should toss out those worn out sweat pants once and for all (ha ha). I highly recommend this book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1451699379 | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,462 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Style & Clothing #57 in Fashion Design #530 in Motivational Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,798) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1 x 7 inches | | Edition | 39775th | | ISBN-10 | 9781451699371 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1451699371 | | Item Weight | 1.05 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | November 6, 2012 | | Publisher | Simon & Schuster | ## Images ![Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned While Living in Paris - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jMSz8ub-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable read if not taken to the extreme *by J***G on September 29, 2025* This book was featured in an article in Victoria Magazine.

I highly recommend this book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very readable! *by A***N on July 23, 2019* I learned my first French word in the 6th grade, many years ago, and studied the language all through public school. In college, I continued my studies and even tutored French in 1999-2001. Now, at long last, my husband and I are traveling to France, which is why I picked up Jennifer Scott's charming book. I have read other books, such as Marcia DeSanctis' 100 Places in France Every Woman Should Go. The latter obviously had more information to share about locations, but I found some of it a tad elitist sounding that was a bit off-putting. It was also highly subjective, and many places did not interest me in the slightest. But, this my take on Jennifer Scott's work. Although she, too, has had a privileged life experience, she manages to convey a humility that is quite refreshing. I loved her complete honesty (especially with Professeur Immaculate!) and other examples of faux pas committed by herself and others. She seemed to throw in every conceivable tidbit that might be useful to someone interested in French culture and really draws the reader in to the experiences she had. I couldn't bring myself to feel jealous, even when she described reading a play and then going to see a live production the following week. Had I been blessed with her parentage, I may well have made my first trip to France as a teenager, too, but, alas, I was not. But this book left me with a feeling of camaraderie with the French people and an even greater desire to go. And planning my wardrobe for this special trip has been a two-year dedicated effort. While it may not appeal to everyone, it is all my style, and I can't wait to don my first outfit and take to the streets of Paris to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Jennifer feels like a friend I'll never meet, but of whom I am very fond.
