I have never been a dedicated reader of Garance Dore's blog beforehand, therefore I kind of went into this a bit blind and not knowing what to expect. I picked this book up from one of the book shops in Chelsea Market, whilst in New York and I'm glad I did, it's not only very pretty but also very insightful!
Being a photographer and illustrator as well as running a blog and now an author- it was clear to see that this would be an interesting read. As like many successful people, they don't always have it easy; which is also true for Garance. She talks about her childhood, life, love and struggles before she got to where she is now.
Unlike many bloggers, you really get an insight into Garance's life on both a visual and personal level which allows the reader to connect more personally.
The book is split into sections: style, metier (job/profession for those who aren't fluent French speakers either!), beauty, elegance and love. Each section has something to give and learn from making it really fun to read, with lots of illustrations and motivational quotes along the way! It's definitely worth a read.
