My friend, Stacy, is hosting a Parisian book club party and we are all reading
The Paris Wife by Paula McClain.
I can't wait to read the book, attend the party
(where French edibles and music will be had), and wear this dress.
Why this dress?
Have you seen the cover?
Okay, the dress isn't exactly the same as the one on the cover, but I love how they both make me want to stroll down Le Champs Elysee and visit le Jardin des Tuileries and perhaps pick up a bunch of flowers at a local market and a baguette from la boulangerie.
More than that, it makes me want to live at a time where writers like Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerals hung outside Les Deux Magots and discussed art, politics, and people.
Have you read The Paris Wife?
What did you think?
Is this book going to make me want to pack my bags and live along the Seine?

I haven't read the book but it was given to me by a friend.
I haven't read it... so please let us know how you liked it. What a fun idea to have a Parisian book club!

First, can I just say that you look beyond divine in that dress, Tiffany? And the pointe shoes and topknot? You just look breathtaking and so lady-like.
Second...please, please, please let me know what you think of this book once you've finished it. I have been reading books about Degas, Marie van Goethem (the star of his sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen, and the Paris Opera lately, and would love to read more fiction about Paris! :)
The Paris Wife has been on my (long) list to read since Vicki at French Essence recommended it! Tiffany, Love your dress!

Hello !
(almost)parisian girl here. Are you sure about Café de Margaux or isn't the famous café called Les Deux Magots, where all the painters/writers/composers/philosophers... used to go in the late 1800/1900's ...
But it's a very sweet dress and beautiful pictures, as usual !
Have a nice day.
xx
(I said almost Parisian, cuz i'm not exactly from Paris, but Versailles, anyway, still French...)
May need to add it to my list. You look gorgeous lady!
That dress is perfection!!! You have to wear it to the party which sounds like a ton of fun. Also can't wait to hear what you think of the book. I've been wondering... :) xoxo
You always look perfectly put together! I should have known you would have your outfit planned months ahead of time!:-D Can't wait for the party!
Oh la la, you are tres chic :) And seriously let me know if you like the book, I'm looking for a new one.

This dress is not only stunning on you but perfect for the occasion. You should go all out and go for the perfect french twist or top knot.

I adored it, but it actually reminded me that real people, with real lives live in Paris, and that it isn't all gorgeous rain showers and macarons!
I love that dress! I also love that you pose in pointe shoes for your outfit photos. I've always wanted to wear pointe shoes with cute outfits for blog posts, but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. You always look so lovely, though, that I am feeling inspired! I may try it soon. :)
No, I have not read the book, but the dress is an inspiration - beautiful design and colour! You dream up an exotic scene in Paris that I think we would all love to persue.
Yes! READ the book for my Book Club and loved it! Your dress is so pretty and sounds like your party will be fun :) Enjoy your day :)
the dress has pockets! love it.
I think perhaps I should read this book...
That dress is gorgeous!! It looks so pretty on you. I would love to be in a book club, how fun.
I haven't read this but this post makes me wonder if I should. I think your dress is perfect for the book club meet! I look forward to hearing what you think of the book :)
Haven't read the book – but oh my! what a gorgeous dress!! :)
That color is perfect on you :)
