Achieve the effortless look called BCBG

My secret:  don't over-accessorize.  French women do not "buy the mannequin."  Instead, they have one or two accessories that define them, and they add new ones slowly and carefully.  My treasured accessory is my sunglasses.  I have two pairs, one purple, one green.  It's what we call BCBG: bon chic, bon genre

“Artisanal ”

FRENCH WOMAN'S MANIFESTO

French women love chocolate, especially the dark, slightly bitter, silky stuff with its nutty aroma.
