Style

By: Lauren Conrad

 

 

Everyone knows Lauren Conrad as a Fashion Guru. They also know her from certain Television Shows such as The Hills and Laguna Beach. Besides Television she is an author. The book I have by her is called "Style." This book just basically talks about certain things a girl should have in her closet. Ways to achieve a certain look. Also, she talks about how to pack for a trip for a week, 2 weeks etc. Also there is a chapter just for Beauty. She has the book sectioned off by Fashion, Beauty and also Lifestyle. This book can be used from Middle School to College and so on. I think this book is amazing and I love it. My favorite part of the book is about Fashion. I would recommend this book as whole to anyone who has an interest in fashion. I thought that this book was just going to be a guide to fashion. But she gave her opinion as to what works best for everyone's size/shape, preference etc. I actually liked it very much and found it helpful. I think her intent was to help and give advice about how to make a style your very own with helpful tips on fashion. She wasn't telling you to wear this and that but how to make certain things your own. Classification Organization is a pattern of organization. In the book Lauren Conrad breaks everything down in three main parts Fashion, Beauty, Lifestyle Then, she talks about the different aspects of the three topics.

Teen Vogue Handbook

Chapter "Editors"

By: Teen Vogue

 

The Teen Vogue Handbook is mainly based around Fashion and Beauty. Mostly Fashion though with certain chapters labeled Designers, Editors, Stylists, Models, Photography and also Beauty. I love this book so much because of this is my favorite topic to talk about. FASHION. My favorite chapter in this book is the Editors chapter. It's my favorite because I want to be a part of that part of fashion. A fashion writer is my goal mainly. For one I love clothes and fashion. And secondly, it is a job that I can be myself and have fun. Who doesn't want that right? The Editor chapter goes over some of the main parts of being an editor. It talks about the main editors at Teen Vogue/Vogue. There is a part about the Editor-in-chief Amy Astley and also the Editor herself Anna Wintour. Also this chapter goes over tips for breaking into this part of the industry and things you would need if you were an editor. It also has interviews with some of the actual workers there and intern interviews. Which I thought was actually pretty cool. They answer a lot of questions about Fashion Editors/Writers. Finally they also give a schedule of what the Editors/Editors-in-chief do on a daily basis with the magazine. And it is actually very hectic but sounds fun. My reaction was "wow" after I started to read and read on. At first actually I thought it was going to be a horrible book that gave no advice what so ever but it gave great advice after all. I'm very glad I purchased this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fashion. And I guess the author's intent in writing this was to help out anyone who wants a career in the fashion industry. Teen Vogue gets comments all day every day about all of these topics. I thought it was smart to take that one question asked for all of these categories and put it in one book. With the actual masterminds behind all of the topics. Marc Jacobs, Amy Astley, Chanel Iman, Pat McGrath, and also Patrick Demarchelier. It is just all around amazing!
