But lately, I'm constantly on the look out for a new read. I love a good memoir, a summer chic 'flick,' and a book I finish that truly changes me.
Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I learned While Living in Paris did just that.
This book touches on so many aspects of life, from style to food to culture. It made me think about my own life and want to live a more fulfilling, respectable life.
• One of the things we've made more a habit to do over here already is eating without the presence of tv, phones, etc. A little background music and some good old fashion conversation is worth being disconnected for 30+ minutes.

• And the last piece I want to touch on is making everyday a special occasion. I have always been a 'saver,' meaning I always want to save my best outfits, our wedding china and new purchases for a special occasions and special guests. But something I hadn't thought about is that my husband and those I see most often are the most special. I am slowly transitioning into this one (as I hesitantly remove new tags from gifts I received months ago)! Eek!
Do you have any good book recommendations to share??

Sounds like a great book and a must read! There's nothing more true than the believe of quality over quantity -especially for a wardrobe!

OOoh it sounds really good! I'm reading The Telling Room right now and love it!
Ah, my husband and I need to work on turning off the TV when we eat. We have a bad habit of watching TV while we eat dinner. Well, it's pretty much my thing because he doesn't actually watch much TV. Oops. :-)

Quality over quantity is so important .. and then you can always mix in a few less expensive trendy items. I'm going to check out the book!
Sounds like I should pick up this book...I'm always saying I have nothing to wear (even though it's so not true).
I think I would pass out if I ever owned a closet like this! I am reading a book called...wait for it...The Liar, The Bitch and The Wardrobe...it is a super fun snarky read.

this review really makes me want to read the book! I am forever stuck in the quanity not quality part of shopping! I am trying to get better!
Oh I heard so much about this book! I've been watching her videos on youtube the daily connoisseur. I love the idea of the 10 item wardrobe, but I think it would be so hard!
