The vast majority of women do not know how to walk with high heels, ending up tottering and stumbling or walking with rigid legs - the opposite of chic. I agree with Ines about high heels being useless at best and ridiculous on most occasions. On the positive side, the book is visually pleasing, with lots of charming drawings and plenty of photos. As mentioned by other reviewers, perhaps two-thirds of the book are devoted to Parisian addresses (where to shop, eat, drink and being seen), therefore useless for anybody who does not live there - or even for people who visit only occasionally, like me. I received this book as a gift and I am glad I did not buy it. Complete with her favorite addresses for finding the ultimate fashion and decorating items, this is a must-have for any woman who wants to add a touch of Paris to her own style. The ultrachic volume is wrapped with a three-quarter-height removable jacket and features offset aquarelle paper and a ribbon page marker. Inès also shares how to bring Parisian chic into your home, and how to insert your signature style into any space-even the office. Her step-by-step do’s and don’ts are accompanied by fashion photography, and the book is personalized with her charming drawings. She offers specific pointers on how to dress like a Parisian, including how to mix affordable basics with high-fashion touches, and how to accessorize.
