*+* Book Collected - Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro *+*

Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro (PaperBack)
Book Condition: 7/10
Collected On: 31/07/07

While browsing through Yahoo Auctions, I found this book called "Elegance" by Kathleen Tessaro (together with James Patterson's Violets are Blue). It's a Chick-Lit book featuring a woman called Louise Canova. About how she discovers a faded hardback copy of a book called "Elegance"(a book about Fashion..etc) in a 2nd-hand bookshop...and how her life is transformed after reading that book...

Although this book is 2nd-hand but it seems like a very interesting story, and looking at the price of only SGD $3.00, i placed a bid on it....Finally collected this book from the seller at Yishun MRT Station yesterday. =D

Heres the synopsis:


Synopsis:

Audrey Hepburn had it, Grace Kelly had it. Louise Canova does not.
Elegance, that is. Nor does she have the answers to get her life, her looks or her marriage back on track.
Then one day she discovers a faded hardback in a second-hand bookshop.

Elegance, an A-Z of style written by French fashion expert Madame Antoine Dariaux, is a revelation.
From Accessories to Zippers, there is nothing that Madame cannot advise upon, including types of husband
(and how to manage them) and shopping with girlfriends (don't).

When Louise takes the book to heart, her life is transformed.
But as her old self begins to disappear, it is clear there is more to true elegance than she bargained for.
Looking the part is only the beginning.

"Being beautiful is no guarantee of happiness in this world...Strive instead for elegance, grace and style"

Will be reading this book ASAP =P
Reviews will be up once i have finish it...
