Hair braiding is getting hotter by the day, and the evolution of
styles has grown just as rapidly. The New Braiding Handbook offers
you an impressive array of easy-to-re-create, beautiful, and
versatile looks that are as appropriate for elegant formal events
as they are practical for casual, everyday wear. With step-by-step
photos and detailed instructions for creating trendy knots, chic
twists, and playful plaits, The New Braiding Handbook teaches
imaginative and intricate hairstyling like you've never seen
before. Fifty looks to choose from guarantee a braid for every
occasion (or no occasion at all). Along with amazing styles and
easy-to-follow tutorials, there are also tons of tips for
eliminating split ends, bulking up limp locks, growing out a short
'do, and getting a full, healthy, shiny head of hair straight from
the pages of a magazine.
For many women, the bathroom is the most intimate of spaces. It is
the place where we encounter ourselves in the mirror each morning
and every night, getting ready to face the day, or recede from it.
THE BATHROOM CHRONICLES is a beautiful, chic, touching, and deeply
feminine collection of photos and accompanying short stories
(sometimes no more than a sentence or two) by women about their
private spaces and most cherished possessions. Lena Dunham reveals
the corner by the sink where she keeps her favorite pieces of
jewelry, as well as her birth control. Erica Jong snaps her poodles
and insists that they love her powder room and to "fluff up their
hair" in front of the mirrors. Roz Chast reflects on a shelf in the
corner that she purchased from a second-hand store. It's decorated
with birds, because she loves birds, and a tiny emu that was given
to her by a friend when she was in Australia. Like the bathrooms
themselves each of these stories and images is unique--open,
private, minimalistic, messy, and beautiful.
