Forever Chic by Tish Jett

This former fashion editor from New York has spent years living in France trying to work out what separates les Parisiennes – specifically, those aged over 40– from the rest of us.

Jett has certainly done her research, as Forever Chic boasts chapters on every aspect of these fabulous femmes – from hair and make-up to diet and exercise, clothes and accessories to charm and grace. And presenting the best of French beauty and cosmetic products doesn’t necessarily mean only top brands, as Jett’s shopping trips to Monoprix amply prove!

Finally, we have an accessible, practical style guide to help us on our way to Parisian chic – without skimping on the joie de vivre. Jett’s book is as charming, alluring and witty as the French lifetsyle it describes. Ageing gracefully has never felt so stylish!
