The official authorized companion to the much-loved Netflix show
Emily in Paris. Paris, J'Adore! is Emily Cooper's diary about her
life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to
starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the
thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her
new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace
etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined
reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest
chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like
why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second
floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by,
Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre
for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But
more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and
how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this
beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook
to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where
to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in
Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections: 1. Emily's
Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers -
from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the
beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a
Parisian; 2. Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and
break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the
most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower
twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in
love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing
along to; 3. Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the
real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquee de Paris to the Atelier
des Lumieres, and from small independent French cinemas to
delightful neighbourhood restaurants; 4. Emily's Workplace Paris -
how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch
and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee
Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media; 5.
Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the
Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the
opulence of the Chateau de Versailles. Packed with four-colour
photographs, exquisite illustrations and beautiful shots of Paris,
Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift book for all the fans of
the show.
The book unpacks every element of a wedding - stationery, attire,
seating plans, flowers and tablescapes, food and drink, gifts -
with examples that will appeal to couples who care about how things
are made but are not overly influenced by trends. The emphasis is
on natural surroundings, seasonal flowers and food, modern dresses,
minimalist ceremony structures, and naked cakes. Photographs of
real weddings - "case studies" like a destination fete in Tuscany,
a house party in Brooklyn, and a New Agey revel in Kauai - show how
all the pieces can come together into a unique and expressive
whole. Extensive practical information and resources give readers
access to all the help they need for their own unique celebration.

zero in on one chic category to give it the close-up it deserved.

extends from 3000 B.C. to mid-twentieth century.

Egyptian headdresses, Spanish mantillas, French straw sailor hats,
buckle-trimmed tam-o-shanters, wedding veils, bonnets, snoods, and
jeweled crowns. Men's headwear includes feather-trimmed turbans,
soldiers' helmets, cowboy hats and top hats, derbies and boaters,
berets, sombreros, and Homburgs. Hairstyles run the gamut as well:
ringlets, topknots, and spit curls, ponytails, pageboys, and poodle
cuts, as well as pompadours, mutton chops, and crew cuts. With
delightful details on jewelry, cosmetics, and beauty treatments,
this is a unique reference that fashion designers, stylists, and
historians will treasure.
The Practical Workbook contains detailed interactive exercises such
as fill-in-the-blank and matching, designed to reinforce learning
