Simple techniques for turning basics from frumpy to fabulous! French girls always look so effortlessly chic. C’est vrai! You never see them trotting around in ratty T-shirts and gym shorts. C’est impossible! No, they always look great. How do they do it? How? The Left Bank Look is here to show you exactly how they do it, and how you can do it, too. The idea is simple: Take plain, mass-produced basics from your closet—shoes, clothes, linens—and use easy DIY techniques and inexpensive materials to transform them into chic treasures inspired by design from the streets of Paris. C’est si bon! Dyeing, image transfers, painting, easy sewing—these techniques are so simple, even someone from North America can do it. Before you know it, your things will look like they came from a boutique on the Rive Gauche, and strangers on the street will be hitting you up for a Gauloise.

Same old,
This review is from: The Left Bank Look: Easy Parisian-Chic Projects for your Home and Clothes (Paperback)
This book is a joke - I returned it to the store today...
There is not one single project that you haven't seen a hundred times elsewhere. About half of the instructions tell you to take your image to a copy shop where they can transfer it to a t-shirt, curtain, pillowcase, etc... Everything looks very nice, though, the photographer did a terrific job!

This review is from: The Left Bank Look: Easy Parisian-Chic Projects for your Home and Clothes (Paperback)
This book is about adding a personal touch to your belongings, Parisian style! The projects are cute and simple. A lot of the projects consist of photo transfering pictures onto a plain fabric, also stenciling and adding patches to things you already own. I would definitely try to make most of items in this book except for the shoes. I thought that the shoe makeovers looked ridiculous. At only 64 pages, I felt the book could have been much longer. I would love for the author to come out with a sequel with more cute designs!
