Editorial Review: Product Description: The allure of the Frenchwomansexy, sophisticated, flirtatious, and glamorousis legendary. More than an eye for fashion or a taste for elegance, the French je ne sais quoi embodies the essential ingredients for looking and feeling beautiful. With wit, whimsy, and wonder, British expatriate Helena Frith Powell uncovers the secrets of chic living in All You Need to Be Impossibly French, a cheeky guide to releasing your inner Frenchwoman. Delving deep into a mysterious realm of face creams, silk lingerie, and shopping- as-exercise, Powell reveals how French women stay impossibly thin and irresistibly sexy by achieving the maximum effect from the minimum amount of effort. Forget diet and inspiration books and style guidesthis is all you need to embrace the wisdom of French living, and learn how to turn every day into la petite aventure. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Surprisingly GoodI was afraid it was going to be too frilly, but it is great. Love that she talks about real & famous french women. Funny at times. Very entertaining! Rating: - Very cute!

What a wonderful lifestyle! I'm sure I'll read it again when my memory starts forgeting! Rating: - Fun Read!I laughed all the way through this book. (Not in a bad way.) Very informative and entertaining!
