Coco Rules takes 30 quotes from the inimitable Coco Chanel and
translates them into modern, practical style rules to live by. With
her trademark acerbic wit and no-nonsense attitude, Coco Chanel has
always been a wonderfully entertaining source on matters of life
and style. Coco Rules gathers her words of wisdom on both fashion
and empowerment and uses them to provide solutions to many of the
style-based conundrums you might encounter, as well as inspiration
on how to be the very best version of yourself - strong, fearless
and confident - no matter what you wear. Written by acclaimed
fashion journalist Katherine Ormerod, each rule is accompanied by a
bold and stylish illustration from Carolina Melis.

Though his life was relatively short, Christian Ernest Dior's
seismic influence on the fashion world ensures his name lives on as
one of the most successful and celebrated designers of all time.
Using the rationing restrictions of wartime, he created designs
that extenuated the female figure and released the women of the
world from the restrictive, dull clothing that restricted rather
than enhanced femininity. It was Dior's sudden prominence on the
world stage that restored Paris' reputation as the epicentre of the
fashion world. To wear a Dior item of clothing, was to wear the
best of the best. His post-War collection was described as a
completely 'new look' by the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar,
one of the world's most powerful style magazines. The description
was adopted and quickly became a fashion movement, with Dior's 'New
Look' leading the way and even stealing the limelight from
compatriot Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel. The Little Guide to Christian
Dior shows how despite coming from a wealthy background with
powerful allies, Christian Dior may not have had to scrap his way
to the top as Coco Chanel did, but his talent is no less worthy and
his legacy as one of the world's greatest designers is no less
deserving. 'My dream? To make women happier and more beatiiful.' As
seen on Living in Fifties Fashion, 'Salute Mr Dior'

possibilities are limitless, even when the world tries to get you
down. This little book, packed full of empowering quotes and
valuable reminders, is the perfect companion on your journey to

hard-won wisdom of successful writers, artists and thinkers, this
book includes a host of uplifting mantras and daily reminders such
as: You don't have to be perfect to be wonderful Everything you
need - your courage, strength, compassion and love - is already
within you You're only confined by the walls you build yourself
Don't just be good to others - be good to yourself too You are at
your most powerful when you don't seek the approval of others
The wise-sayers say "you are what you think." If that's so, then
the body is merely the transporter for the mind. The body does not
last but the mind can. And that possibility could explain why so
many of the ancient sayings apply to the today's world and possibly
eternity. Take Aesop. He lived 620 - 560 BC. He said "No act of
kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." This is still a
wise saying some 2600 years later. Back then the memory system was
mental. Today, we have computers and a digital memory system. But
our present society is built on a procession of thinking from many
years past. The situation is succinctly expressed by William
Feather (1889 - 1981) who said, "The wisdom of the wise and the
experience of the ages are preserved into perpetuity by a nation's
proverbs, fables, folk sayings and quotations." Looking to the
future, we appear to be poised for some great things. Preparing for
the future, Walt Disney (1901 - 1966) said, "Crowded classrooms and
half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national
resource --- the minds of our children" and Nicholas Zaharis (1921
- ) said "Education is expensive but ignorance is more expensive."
The intention of this manuscript is to educate, inspire and amuse.
It is based on a thousand quotations by 400 astute individuals.
Their occupations and claim to fame are discussed briefly. Many had
multiple occupations. Most were philosophers, authors and writers.
The author visualizes the contents as a source of ideas for
advertising programs, for casual conversations and for meditative
reading and thinking. It is sort of a table-top book that can be
opened and read at random.
From the sixteenth century through the twentieth, Texans have had
interesting things to say about themselves, their home, and the
rest of the world. People beyond its borders have had interesting
things to say about Texas and Texans for almost as long. This book
brings together some 700 noteworthy quotations from or about Texas.
Collectively they form a portrait of this unique place in the words
of the people who have lived and created the Texas experience
'Without a revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary
movement.' Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, leader of the Bolshevik
Revolution and founder of the USSR, was profoundly aware of the
power of words. As a zealous orator and prolific writer, he used
his words to launch a soaring critique of imperialist society and
to theorize the development of the world's first socialist state.
Much of his writing was translated into English in order to further
the Socialist cause. This book is a compilation of some of Lenin's
most famous sayings, taken from speeches, tracts, letters and
recorded conversations. They expose his views on topics ranging
from democracy to terrorism, from religion to Stalin's
untrustworthiness and from education to music. Accompanied by a
range of arresting images, including contemporary propaganda
posters, photographs, portraits, illustrations and Soviet art,
these aphoristic proclamations offer an insight into the atmosphere
of pre- and post-Revolutionary Russia and the mind of one of the
twentieth century's most defining political figures.
