If tulle gives you hives, this is the wedding guide for you. She explains the rules and offers suggestions for revising them for your circumstances and preferences.

Beautiful photographs of incredible creations from centuries of Western fashion. Delicious and inspirational for anyone who enjoys creativity despite the occasional questionable experiment.
If pastels induce nausea, this may be the guide for you. Practical advice and ideas outside the standard fare with amusing illustrations and helpful tips.

My interest had completely evaporated 50 pages in - only a ninth of the way through!

Delightful memoir, an early chapter of which served as the inspiration for the feature film, "An Education." This quick, charming read spans the arc of Ms Barber's life from early child hood to her husband's decline. Filled with glimpses of early days at Penthouse magazine as well as domestic life and highlights of her journalistic career, this book reads like a novel and is a fun way to spend a short afternoon.
