Coco Chanel has always fascinated me...not just her designs.. but as a woman, during WWII. This was a decent look at her that spans her entire life with photos and copies of letters she wrote. A very easy and interesting read. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

Loved this audiobook! A beautifully written book from two different perspectives decades apart. I love Lucille and the adventure that her grandmother sends her on. Alice‘s story will give you all the emotions. And I loved it all.
I‘ll definitely be checking out more from this author!

A search for Dior Dresses from the 1950's - how fun would that be?

Louise makes a trip to Paris on her grandmother's request to find a certain dress, but it turns into a trip to search for eight other dresses.

Those readers who love Paris, who love fashion, the 1950's, and visiting with characters with complicated relationships will want to read this book. 5/5

1. It‘s really hard to choose, because everything I read in July was fantastic. I chose the tagged book because it pulled me in and got me emotionally invested.
2. Honestly, the beautiful cover.
Consider yourself tagged 😄

I absolutely loved this book! What starts as a granddaughter going to Paris to retrieve a dress that had belonged to her grandmother turns into a mystery about who her grandmother really is. Also, ultimately, what does Lucille, the granddaughter, want her life to be? Wonderful characters, I really got emotionally involved. And the dresses! Back to the research rabbit hole to see what was being described, including this pic.

There are soooo many books on my Kindle, but the cover of this one grabbed my attention. I always describe my reading strategy as “where my whimsy takes me.” Today my whimsy is attracted to the visual. Reviews sound as if the story will match the impact of the cover.

I absolutely adored this little book!

This book was written by Christian Dior in 1954 so naturally parts are outdated. For example, there is a lot of discussion on frocks.

That being said, there is still relevant advice. The overall theme of the book is elegance and accentuating what makes you look good, which is still useful in today‘s world.
