Book Recommendation: How to be Parisian

  This book isn’t something new for the fashion crowd out there. But since it was just released in German we thought it would be great to share it once more.

What key pieces you need to have in your closet and how, most important, your attitude and habits need to be.

It’s about living, give yourself the chance to do so and don’t let too many people judge your life after all.
