Book Description
The Fashion Insiders’ Guides are carefully curated compendiums of the current hotspots, classic haunts, and hidden gems of the world’s greatest fashion destinations. A former Parisian living in New York, French Vogue correspondent Carole Sabas was often approached by friends and colleagues on their way to Paris for Fashion Week, looking for the best place for a quick facial, early morning yoga, or to meet a friend for a drink. So many people asked, in fact, that she produced a small guide filled with advice, which she gave out for free. Requests for more information and other cities came pouring in. Abrams is now making Sabas’s Paris and New York guides available to everyone, with expanded content including chapters such as “Eating and Drinking,” “Beauty,” “Health,” “Shopping,” “Art,” and an eclectic selection of odds and ends called “Might Be Useful One Day.” Written with a light touch and in a friendly tone, each entry includes a description of the recommended spots with hints about when to go, who to ask for, and what to get, as well as location and contact information. The inclusion of additional advice from local fashion celebrities on their favorite places to frequent puts readers confidently in-the-know. Peppered throughout with drawings by a noted and local fashion illustrator, these beautifully designed guides will be the must-have accessories of the season. Praise for The Fashion Insiders' Guide to New York: “Hidden gems are finally unveiled in this posh and savvy guide for sophisticated visitors and newcomers to the Big City . . . this is one must-have guide for stylish New York travelers.” —Ambassador magazine

51 Weeks

Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
“This is a stunningly good read. It’s beautifully written and the characters quickly became so real as I read on...I had a blast reading it and found I could easily relate to Amy’s situation. Julia Myerscough’s 51 Weeks is most highly recommended.” - J Magnus, Readers’ Favorite The big five-oh is staring Amy Richards squarely in the face and she’s panicking. What has happened to her life? How could it have passed her by so quickly? How should she mark the occasion? A serendipitous stop at an inspiring museum and heritage centre gives her the answer: when she is old she must be able to shout ‘Je ne regrette rien’. Forget the bucket list, bring on a bowl of 51 weekly challenges for the coming year, the last one being to write about everything she’s learned. Chosen by her friends, these mysterious slips of paper will have Amy face her fears, do good for others, undergo personal growth, and even walk on the wild side! What starts out as harmless fun soon develops into an exciting and profound voyage of adventure. Friendships are forged and broken, infatuation tests morality and ethics, dark secrets are revealed and Amy takes a long, hard look at her marriage. She realises that in life, it’s not the destination that matters but what she learns over time and how this changes her. With parts of the story based on real events, 51 Weeks is much more than a series of challenges. While it is a hilarious, sassy, highly relatable novel, dealing with the realities of ageing we all face, it’s also an inspirational and empowering journey of self-discovery. It prompts readers to put together their own bowl of challenges, get off the sofa and try everything they’ve ever wanted to do - maybe learning something surprising about themselves along the way.

Book Description
Scouse Brows is the debut poetry pamphlet from Madelaine Kinsella. "Carefully-crafted radical missives from North Liverpool. A vital broadcast." - Matthew Thomas Smith "These poems are a prism through which the city's wayward spirits are illuminated; jagged and full of nerve. Kinsella walks beside punters-come-prophets and stiff-necked school girls, circling the curses of want. Tending to scoured knees, she sings hymns of the headstrong and hungry, of sandstone and spit, reciting her homeland in a voice as frictive as the asphalt on which this city cuts its teeth." - Stephanie Gavan "A riveting and necessary poetry collection. From beginning to end, we are left yearning for more, but Kinsella leaves no crumbs behind." - Kevanté A. C. Cash
