I was lucky to receive an advanced reader copy of Jamie Cat Callan's delightful book Ooh La La: French Women's Secrets to Feeling Beautiful Everyday. Part memoir, part self-improvement guide, Jamie's charming voice sings off the page. Seriously, it's like reading a book written by your best friend-- one you go to advice for. From sex to lingerie to finding the perfect perfume, Jamie is honest and open, no subject taboo. While it's clear Jamie certainly has an affinity for all things French, and we meet so many wonderful people on Jamie's quest to capture her Ooh La La, what I really like about her book is it's all about self-empowerment, how we women all have our own Ooh La La no matter what country we come from, no matter our size, no matter our age. Even better- you don't need to take a trip to Paris to find your Ooh La La;it rests within you

Ooh La La! was a lovely book with great tips on the little things that make French women feel good about themselves. These little things can help one feel more confident in their own skin. I will read pretty much anything about French culture because I think they have got it figured out.

Ooh la la. As a woman about to leave behind my twenties, I also find myself wanting to leave behind the bad habits of being young. Pretty much jumping from one fashion to another, or not really knowing what suits me. This book isn't about how to give yourself a makeover, instead it is about finding out who your true self is and embracing her. Maybe that means finding your signature scent or wearing your favorite color every day.
