What is rich?
Cindy on June 12th, 2008
Learn to recognize and use true quality to make every possession, experience, and person in your life the best possible. — Anne Barone, from The New Connoisseur
For years I’ve followed the work of Anne Barone, author of the fascinating “Chic & Slim” series,
which focuses on the lifestyles, fashion secrets, and diet techniques of French women. Her newest book, The New Connoisseur, is based on a philosophy I share wholeheartedly — that “the good life” is all about quality and knowing how to identify it in everything we experience or purchase, from meals to books to handbags. Barone is an avid reader and film buff with a knack for referencing just the right novels, movies, and style icons to illustrate her points. As she reminds us, a person needn’t be wealthy to be a connoisseur. In a world of chain stores, counterfeits, and cheap imitations, The New Connoisseur is a rallying cry for authenticity, beauty, and originality in our daily lives. – CL
