La Vie Parisienne: Looking for Love - And the Perfect Lingerie
Janelle Says:
After an ill-fated affair with the Queen Mother’s equerry, a young London-based Australian journalist, Janelle McCulloch, runs away to Paris to restore her pride.
The city leaves an indelible print and she returns many years later to live there for a year. La Vie Parisienne: Looking for Love — and the Perfect Lingerie captures Janelle’s experiences that year, immersed in life in Paris.
An acute observer of Parisienne style in action, Janelle set off to re-invent herself and in the process, discovered she was very comfortable in her own skin.

I'll be the first to admit, it was the title of the book that attracted me. It was just another tired evening after work, and after dinner; I was browsing at Border's Sale section to kill some boredom.
I took a peek, and liked what I saw :)
And then I was hooked to this book! I read it while waiting for The Fiance to come fetch me to work, I read this at lunch while waiting for my food, I read this at bedtime till my eyes refused to open. You get how much I like this yes? :)
This book makes me want to fly to Paris, and live the glamourous life of a Parisienne... sophisticated clothes, mouth watering food, orgasmic nights (haha); just bloody relaxing life. Except maybe not the heels. I can never understand the love for heels. My feet simply hates them! Thank God I have the height to go without heels!
And, life like that requires money, lots of them!
Janelle describes Paris in a very real scene. Expect no perfection; as it does not exist. Every city has its ugly side. And Paris; has their rude taxi drivers, gloomy weather, post-it sized apartments and dog poos too?
Wait, I forgot to mention that the book has a luxurious feel. The centered black design is in velvet... Nice. However I find it a little too hard and rigid for a comfy bed read...
