Publisher's Summary
How the City of Lights gave her lessons in life and love: an Australian beauty journalist shares her obsession with Paris - a city which has been her guide through a lifelong journey of self-discovery.
Katrina Lawrence first fell in love with Paris at the age of five, and since then her roads have continually led her back to this most beautiful city, the City of Lights. Telling us the story of why Paris continually fascinates her, Katrina also gives us a mesmerising journey around Paris' most spectacular sights and most beguiling nooks and crannies as well as a profound musing on Paris and its people - from feminism to femininity, politics to perfume and, of course, those stylish Parisiennes who captivate us, from Catherine de Medici and Coco Chanel to Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve, making Paris Dreaming the ultimate chic, personal and charming memoir.
Studded with fascinating anecdotes and intriguing tidbits of trivia, Katrina shares the lessons Paris has taught her: everything from her favourite cafes and how to pick the perfect red lipstick to how to eat for pleasure. Written and narrated with warmth, gaiety, elegance and very real insight, Paris Dreaming is an audiobook not just for women who love Paris but for anyone in search of that elusive good life.

Always dreaming of Paris
Paris is a city I love and I love to escape there through books of other peoples journeys. What a journey Katrina Lawrence’s book was- from childhood to motherhood with Paris as a gorgeous backdrop.
This book not only explores Pairs but the history and some of the key players as well. I have a list of people I now want to read up on.
Sometimes certain phrases I found were a bit waffley, or a bit over done but on the whole I loved this book and I want to add the hard copy to my collection.
This book was a great escape to a city I adore.

I am Paris
I have not long returned from my 1st visit to Paris... this book makes me want to go back today. Katrina's writing/her words are so colourful, delightful & I just want to go back now. There is so much more to see after reading this wonderful book. Thank you Katrina, I really get your passion for Paris.

Endless cliches and fat shaming
If you’re after a book filled with the seemingly endless repetition of nonsense cliches and fat shaming this is your book. The main reason the author worships les Parisiennes seems to be merely the cliché that French women are skinny. I couldn’t get through it all despite really wanting to support an Aussie author
