Love, Style, and Bad Habits

How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are

From the bestselling authors of How to be Parisian, what smart, savvy, fabulous French women think, feel and advise as they hit forty on life, love, and everything else Older, but Better, but Older has the playful wit, self deprecation and worldly advice we have come to expect from these bestselling authors, but now that advice is focused on the French woman's mindset as she hurtles towards forty. Caroline de Maigret and Sophie Mas are back to amuse you with how they find they are modifying their favorite bad-girl behavior as they address beauty, love, seduction as well as lifestyle, family, work, and living alone. They are still bohemian iconoclasts saying what you don't expect to hear. They will tell you things aren't what they used to be--when a thirty-year-old guy arrives at a party and does not even glance at you; when you wake up feeling great and everyone tells you how tired you look; you know you're an adult when you're excited just to go home. Neuroses vs. confidence, resistance vs. acceptance, passion vs. serenity, de Maigret and Mas through spirited short stories capture the different stages of ageing--as nostalgic but modern Parisian women. From the privately absurd to the strangely universal, this book captures moments of everyday life that will make the reader nod, cringe, and laugh out loud.

Older, But Better, But Older

Caroline de Maigret

With playful wit, worldly advice and savvy observation, the bestselling authors of How to Be Parisian tackle the Parisian art of growing up. Caroline de Maigret and Sophie Mas are back to amuse you, saying what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. But this time they reveal how they are modifying their favourite bad girl habits and mischievous mindsets now they are more 'madame' than 'mademoiselle'. These iconoclastic, bohemian Parisiennes advise on love, seduction, fashion and dating as well as family, work, living alone and accepting imperfections. Both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, this gorgeous, tongue-in-cheek guide astutely illuminates what it means to be a fully-fledged woman.

Older But Better, But Older

How To Be Parisian brilliantly deconstructs the French woman's views on culture, fashion and attitude. Bohemian free-thinkers and iconoclasts, Anne Berest, Caroline De Maigret, Audrey Diwan and Sophie Mas cut through the myths in this gorgeous, witty guide to Parisienne savoir faire. These modern Parisiennes say what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. They are not against smoking in bed, and all for art, politics and culture, making everything look easy, and going against the grain. They will take you on a first date, to a party and through a hangover. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, make your boyfriend jealous, the right way to approach weddings and the gym, and they will share their address book in Paris for where to go at the end of the night, for a birthday, for a smart date, for vintage finds and much more. Full of wit and self-deprecating humour, How To Be Parisian explains those confusing subjects of clothes, makeup, men, culture and lifestyle as only a true Parisienne can.

ljubezen, stil in razvade

Kako biti Parižanka vedno in povsod

Die Pariserin ist erwachsen geworden. Faszinierend, geheimnisvoll und umwerfend: In „Older, but Better, but Older“ enthüllen die beiden Lifestyle-Ikonen und Bestsellerautorinnen Caroline de Maigret und Sophie Mas gewohnt witzig und selbstironisch den Mythos der französischen Frau, die erwachsen geworden ist – in der Liebe, im Leben und fast überall sonst. Ob in Sachen Schönheit, Liebe oder Verführung, ihre Stilsicherheit ist nach wie vor legendär. Aber sie hat auch keine Angst über schwierige Fragen in Sachen Familienplanung, Job oder das Alleinleben zu sprechen: Denn um brav alle Erwartungen zu erfüllen, ist sie noch immer viel zu sehr Bohémienne! Du weißt einfach, dass sich etwas verändert hat, wenn ein Typ um die dreißig, der gerade auf der Party auftaucht, dich keines Blickes würdigt, wenn du aufwachst, dich blendend fühlst, und alle dir sagen, wie müde du aussiehst, und du weißt, dass du erwachsen bist, wenn du dich einfach nur aufs Nachhause gehen freust. Neurosen treffen auf Selbstvertrauen, Widerstand auf Akzeptanz und Leidenschaft auf Gelassenheit - Caroline de Maigret und Sophie Mas fangen charmant, lässig und voller Esprit Momente des Alltags ein, die jede erwachsen gewordene Leserin kennt.

Older, but Better, but Older: Von den Autorinnen von How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are

O que torna a mulher francesa tão única e irresistível? A pergunta, que já foi feita milhares de vezes, agora é respondida de forma definitiva por quatro parisienses tão autênticas e charmosas quanto diferentes entre si. Em uma abordagem nova e divertida sobre o que é realmente ser uma parisiense hoje em dia — como elas se vestem, se divertem e se comportam —, a embaixadora da Chanel e musa da Lancôme Caroline de Maigret, a escritora Anne Berest, a produtora Sophie Mas e a jornalista Audrey Diwan são surpreendentemente francas e sem rodeios. Falando sobre filhos, relacionamentos, trabalho, estilo, cultura e muito mais, revelam seus segredos e defeitos, fazem piada dos próprios sentimentos e comportamentos complicados, e até admitem ser esnobes, um pouquinho egocêntricas e imprevisíveis. Mandonas e cheias de opiniões, sim, mas também meigas e românticas. Como ser uma parisiense em qualquer lugar do mundo é um livro divertido e inspirador que desvenda o jeito de ser das francesas, mostrando o que elas pensam sobre estilo, cultura, comportamento e homens. Com dicas nem sempre politicamente corretas, é claro...
