Dating Homework: Bastille Day Edition


Step 1: Go look at a calendar.

Step 2: Observe that it is Bastille Day. Pause to make a nasally French throat-clearing noise.

Step 3: Throw on a simple and chic striped top, fitted skinny jeans or Audrey Hepburn-esque capris, and a thin cotton scarf for layering. Let your hair fall naturally and go easy on the makeup. Refer to Garance Doré or a Google Image search of Charlotte Gainsbourg for further style instructions.

Step 4: Round up your pals for a bottle of vino at your favorite French café. Keep your mouth full of Camembert and keep your ears alert to the sound of a husky French accent. Once you’ve found your Serge (or better yet, Olivier), invite him over for a little French language lesson…or just a wine recommendation. If nothing else, wish him a happy Bastille Day.

Step 5: Be prepared to answer the inevitable question: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
