Book raves: The Craft and Living In Style

Just thought I'd share with you two new fashion/beauty books I really love:

The Craft: DIY Hair and Beauty by Lou Teasdale and Living In Style by Rachel Zoe

Different target audience, but I enjoyed both:)

 Rachel Zoe's book is filled not only with fashion advice, but also tips on hair &makeup,  house decorating and stuff like how to host a party and travelling. I'm a sucker for this type of books, and Rachel dispenses great advice in my opinion. The book also has gorgeous photos for inspiration.

I want this whole setup, guys!



Lou Teasdale is the hair and makeup person for One Direction, so I think The Craft is geared for teen-agers (I'm definitely not part of the target audience...ahem....), although there is a short section on tattoos, so I don't know.....I love this book just because it's filled with fun and non-traditional beauty tips. There are also product recommendations for different price points (most are UK products, but you can order them online). 
The book is also done like a small scrapbook, and who doesn't love that? (There are also stickers included...my inner tween is happy:D)





Have you read any of the two books? What hair/makeup/fashion books do you like?

I am not the target audience for the Lou Teasdale Book either...:-) but I do think the Rachel Zoe's book will be a good one to try.

Have a great weekend.

I probably wouldn't buy books like these for myself, but if I saw one lying around on someone's coffee table I'd definitely look in it :-)

That closet Rachel Zoe has is FABULOUS! I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had it. HAHAHAHA Great books Emmy. I haven't read a style book in awhile. The last one (that I still have) is by Kimora Lee Simmons (Fabulosity). It was really good. She talked about her ups and downs.

I like this kind of books and at the same time I don't, because I can't afford all that stuff anyway, so for me it's like "what's the point" getting tempted, just so I can't have. In hair related things, on the other hand, I'm always interested, though I never wear fancy styles, quite the contrary.

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?
