Chic: Tips on Life, Style, and Work Trade Paperback by Daphne Oseña Paez

Daphne Oseña Paez, whose work on lifestyle television and her eponymous blog has inspired millions to aim for a life lived well, comes up with her biggest project to date: a book that captures the best lessons she's learned in life, love , design, work, and more, which can help readers in their own pursuit of a good and beautiful life. In each chapter, she also lets everyone in with her personal conversations with some her best mentors and inspirations, from retail magnate Ben Chan and fashion entrepreneur Tina Maristela Ocampo, to actress and public servant Lucy Torres-Gomez and furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue. Part life musings, part practical advice, this book is a sensible yet enjoyable read that reflects Daphne's persevering personality, positive frame of mind, and engaging journeys in marriage and motherhood, at work and in the blogosphere, at home and in the kitchen, with family and friends. Definitely a book that inspires grace, kindness, hard work, and overall chicness.
