With their softened camouflage, sun-faded stencils, and well-worn
insignia patches, this collection of more than 100 iconic WWII
American military jackets will wow even the most hardcore
connoisseurs and collectors. The cult-status jackets come from the
collections of the authors, who are natives of Rome. This eternal
city, universally defined as one of the largest open-air sets in
the world, provides evocative backdrops for some of the pieces. In
glamour poses shot off the usual tourist routes, 30
models-for-a-day put a distinctive spin on the jackets, mixing and
matching them with rugged outfits. Part of the appeal of vintage
military jackets is that each piece tells the story of the life it
lived. This manifesto of post-WWII style encourages us to see its
charms with new eyes.

"This book is hilarious and that bitch made me laugh out
loud."-Chelsea Handler A chaotically joyous collection of essays
from one of the original influencers and the internet's sweetheart,
Bretman "The Baddest" Rock. Hilarious and earnest, this collection
of essays, how-tos and never-before-seen photos goes far beyond
what we know of Bretman Rock from social media. Who is Bretman Rock
Sacayanan behind the screen and how did he become the original
superstar influencer and today's beloved best friend of the
internet? You're That Bitch welcomes you into Bretman Rock's
world-from how his childhood in the Philippines, his family,
Filipino culture, and being a first-generation immigrant helped
shape him into who he is today. Peek into how Bretman became a
social media sensation at the precocious age of 14, balancing
living a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle on weekends while still
serving lunch at his school's cafeteria, running as a varsity
track-star, and making honor roll during the week. With his
signature honesty, this is an unfiltered and unprecedented look at
what it means to be one of the first digital celebrities and that
bitch--from dealing with cancel culture, drama and heartbreak, to
what it means to love yourself and your community. From the
funniest and undeniably cutest person on the internet, this is a
book for the weirdos and for the bad bitches . . . this book is for
you!
Can you imagine what your life would be like if you abandoned the
idea of perfection and decided to embrace your whole self - and
even better - love yourself? Imagine if you stopped putting your
happiness in the hands of others. Imagine you stopped waiting for
validation from external forces and learnt how to be intimate with
failure, cellulite, success, wrinkles, imperfection, mistakes,
vulnerability. Imagine what life would be like if you just decided
to feel good now. In Like She Owns the Place, master life coach and
motivational speaker Cara Alwill Leyba teaches you that confidence
is all about knowing yourself. Leyba lays down the foundations to
help you build confidence from the ground up which include ditching
the idea of winning, editing toxic people and habits from your life
and embracing the achievements of other women. Follow Cara's advice
and you'll be walking into every room like you own the place.
