TO READ: TWO LIPSTICKS AND A LOVER

Kirafashion

You know when you start to read a book and you don’t want to stop until it is finished? This is how I read Two Lipsticks and a Lover this week only in three nights in a row and I am fascinated by it. The author is Helena Frith Powell, a British girl who really got into the French woman’s fashion secrets and did an amazing job. I am crazy about reading fashion books lately and this is a gift for girls outside France and for the French ones too who wonder why they are so different from the other girls. The book cover girl is wearing a nude coat!

Sabes cuando estás leyendo un libro y no quieres parar hasta terminarlo? Así fue como he leído ‘Two Lipsticks and a Lover’ durante tres noches consecutivas esta semana. La autora es Helena Frith Powell, uma chica de Inglaterra que adentrou muy profundamente en los secretos de moda y estilo de las mujeres de Francia. Un trabajo brillante. Estoy obcecada por lectura de moda últimamente y esto libro es un regalo para las chicas non francesas y para las francesas también. Creo que deba ser interesante saber porqué son tan diferentes. La chica de la portada lleva un abrigo en nude!

Sabe quando você começa a ler um livro e não quer parar até ter terminado? Foi assim que li 'A elegância e os segredos da mulher francesa' esta semana por três noites seguidas e estou fascinada por ele. A autora é Helena Frith Powell, uma garota britânica que de fato foi a fundo nos segredos de moda e estilo das mulheres francesas e fez um trabalho genial. Estou louca por leitura de moda no momento e este livro é um presente para as garotas não francesas e também para as francesas que queiram saber o porquê delas serem tão diferentes. A garota da capa está usando um casaco em nude!

PS – Thanks so much my dear blogger friend Patty Ann from Alpha Beta Chic for awarding me! She is a brilliant girl from LA, USA, and does an amazing job at her blog. She is so mainstream! Thanks so much Patty, it is such a great honor to be featured by you!
