Today I am very excited to tell you a little more about my soon-to-be-published book ….
today is international women’s day, and that ties in very nicely because my book is all about women….
Not just any women of course, I have chosen to write about some of my French girlfriends whose style I find so inspiring, the title will be My Stylish French Girlfriends.
I spent many months last year touring France, from north to south, from west to east, taking pictures of women of all ages and from all walks of life.
The book will introduce you to them, and show you a slice of their daily lives. It is a celebration of women who live creatively, and surround themselves with daily beauty, no matter what they do.
The publishing date is 1st August, and pre-orders can be made HERE. There will also be a website with pictures of us on the photo shoots and lots of bonus information … of course I’ll let you know more about this very soon.
