Forever Chic

Ooh la la...another darling book about those stylish Frenchwomen to add to my ever-growing stack of French chic literature!  I love this new little book by Tish Jett--Forever Chic.  The subtitle is:  Frenchwomen's Secrets for Timeless Beauty, Style, and Substance. 

Forever Chic, by Tish Jett.  I love the tres chic cover!

The author, Tish Jett is also the author of the blog A Femme d'un Certain Age...written for us grown-up girls over 40!  Ms. Jett was a longtime American fashion journalist and moved to Paris to become the style editor of the International Herald Tribune and eventually the editor of American Elle.  She married a Frenchman and continues her writing today through freelance articles and her blog.

We Francophiles can never get enough of Frenchwomen and I certainly am captivated with the style of those French ladies over 40!  The book covers secrets of the Frenchwomen's allure, diet, skincare, exercise habits, and of course--the wardrobe.  Love it.

Forever Chic...a cute gift for your BFF for Christmas!

Friday Style File

Starting today, I will be featuring my "Friday Style File" of Stylish Bloggers...those bloggers who style I admire. I think it's so fun to be able to sign onto my computer and see "Real-Life Outfits" worn by these ladies...especially those who love the classic style.

Up first today...photos of a beautiful French lady...she's the owner of MaiTai Collection and the author of the blog MaiTaisPictureBook, which I am obsessed with...adore her blog! She provides so much inspiration on dressing in the classic style and also tutorials on how to wear scarves. She also posts about living 'joie de vivre in the South of France.

She has a fabulous collection of Hermes scarves and Hermes clic clac bracelets, which she uses so very well to accessorize her outfits.
Love this grouping of her accessories...the scarf, pearls, clic clac bracelet, and a scarf fur ring.
She also has a collection of gorgeous Birkin bags!!!
MaiTai offers scarf rings and shawl rings for sale on her blog...of course, there are video tutorials on her blog to teach you how to use the rings and different knotting techniques.
In the photo below, she is wearing black jeans and a black turtleneck. The scarf--Hermes 'La Danse du Cheval Marvari CSGM', the bracelet--Hermes 'Collier de Chien'.
She usually shows different ways to accessorize one outfit. In the photo below she featured a different pocketbook to accessorize the above outfit...the rubis 'Picotin', by Hermes...
In the next photo, she's wearing black jeans and a black turtleneck. The scarf--'Le Femme aux Semelles de Vent' 90 Carre, by Hermes. She's wearing a noir Horn bracelet from the MaiTai collection, and carrying a black Birkin.
Love this look. Again, she's wearing black jeans and a black turtleneck. The scarf--Hermes 'Ex Libris em Komono' 90 Carre, the purse--sanguine 'Picotin' by Hermes, and a Noir Horn bracelet from the MaiTai collection.
