Tasha De Vasconcelos: French women's secrets


Yesterday I mentioned Tasha De Vasconcelos who I really like. I just think there is some special feminine softness about her, she sounds and looks so sensual and warm and has amazing style. This gorgeous woman is almost 43!

As a model she worked for Calvin Klein, Escada, Van Cleef and Arpels, Dolce and Gabbana Parfums, Balenciaga, Banana Republic, Pantene, Organics, Harrods, Silhouette, BEIERSDORF, NIVEA and magazins including Vogue, ELLE, Tatler, InStyle and many more. She also appeared in several movies and documentaries as well as France's Next Top Model in 2005.

Many of you would probably recognise her from the latest Nivea DNage ad.

Some time ago I watched a programme about shopping in Paris where Tasha shared some of the secrets she learned while living in Paris. And since I can never get enough of la parisienne topic, here is what I carefully noted down.

According to Tasha...
a) French women always dress for men, but choose their clothes and accessories that tease their imagination and rather than show everything off.

b) French woman always leaves her house looking pretty (just in case she happens to meet a man). Even if she goes to the boulangerie next door to get some fresh croissants. She will always make sure to wear a pretty cardigan, a scarf and slim trousers or even better - a skirt.

c) every woman must have a skirt in her wardrobe, ideally, one of the skirts should be la petite jupe (above the knee and feminine)

d) French women eat very little, not only because they want to stay slim, but mainly because any French woman wants to keep a man interested in her as someone he can discuss things with, not just a pretty woman with her mouth full.

e) for every French woman beauty begins with great skin and great hair cut for which she will visit a hair salon on a regular basis.
