My new favorite style book

I received the most lovely gift last weekend from a friend. She and her husband just returned from a fabulous trip to Paris.  Parisian Chic A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange is an amazing peek into all things French and Chic (they are one in the same in my humble opinion).
So I have always been obsessed with ballet flats, I know they don't work for everyone but the minute I put a pair on I feel closer to Audrey in a strange way. Of course ballet flats are tres chic and flats in general receive their own page in the style section. I will include more posts with my interpretations of French flair in the Green Mountain state.
