Blog Crush - Mai Tai's Picture Book

Those of you who know me, already know that I am a self-confessed francophile.  Some of my favorite blogs are about all things Francais.  My dear friend E. has taught me everything I know about elegant entertaining (more about that in another post), but it's my friend Mai Tai who has shared all of her secrets for dressing with French chic, and sublime simplicity.  I was lucky enough to meet her last year in Paris and not only is she beautiful - but incredibly kind and fun. 

Her blog Mai Tai's Picture Book is a complete how-to on understated French dressing.  She has amazing tutorials on how to tie scarves for the un-initiated, and she shows how a few timeless accessories can transform anything from jeans, to a little black dress.

Case in-point:

I have shamelessly "emulated" her gorgeous outfits.  Does that fur collar look familiar?  Well she has a wonderful Collection of hand selected items available for purchase.  So do pop over to her site and find a delicous recipe, a place to visit in France, or a great way to put accessories to work!
