Book Description

This ultra-stylish debut book celebrates the eternally feminine, whimsical, and divinely chic red-carpet dresses and bridal gowns created by one of fashion’s foremost designers. Internationally acclaimed fashion designer Monique Lhuillier started by designing exquisite bridal wear in 1996 in Los Angeles. With collections that are sophisticated and feminine and appeal to modern women, Lhuillier expanded to include ready-to-wear, footwear, bags, accessories, and fragrances. Her distinct aesthetic is inspired by her mother’s graceful style combined with Lhuillier’s trademark refined touch of romance—adding a splash of glamour and a playful fairy-tale element to each design. From dazzling red-carpet cocktail dresses and alluring eveningwear to her showstopping bridal gowns, every beautiful piece is created with the finest fabrics and unparalleled craftsmanship. This debut volume captures the joy, chic opulence, and modern femininity of the Monique Lhuillier brand. The designer takes us through page after page of gorgeous celebration gowns and ready-to-wear pieces: sequin-embellished tulle frocks, elegant long-sleeved sheath gowns with front slits, and luxurious couture wedding dresses with flutter sleeves—all embodying Lhuillier’s inventive romanticism with a modern tilt. Loyal celebrity fans include Emma Stone, Halle Berry, Blake Lively, Gwyneth Paltrow, Taylor Swift, Reese Witherspoon, Regina King, Jessica Alba, and former First Lady Michelle Obama, among others. Replete with eye-catching color photographs of Lhuillier’s dreamy designs, this elegant book will appeal to lovers of fashion and style, as well as future brides-to-be looking for inspiration.

Book Description

This 1999 reference grammar, written for advanced students of French, their teachers, and others who want a better understanding of the French language, combines the best of modern and traditional approaches. Its objective is not only practical mastery of the language, but familiarity with its structure. Taking into account modern linguistic research, Advanced French Grammar approaches the French language primarily through the study of syntactic structures, but without excessive emphasis on formalism. It provides a generous number of examples, based on the author's own experience of teaching French to English-speakers, to help the student to understand the different meanings of apparently similar syntactic alternatives. The norms of 'correct expression' are given together with current usage and deviations, and appendixes provide information on the 1990 spelling reforms and on numbers. A substantial index of French and English words and of topics provides easy access to the text itself.

Book Description

“One of the best books for brides . . . Her satirical, tongue-in-cheek take on making your wedding all about yourself will offer some much-needed laughs.” —Real Simple In this bridal gag gift, Upright Citizens Brigade comedian Laura Willcox writes in the voice of an overbearing, outrageous wedding planner, covering all aspects of a wedding—from the moment of engagement (hopefully with the ring you’ve been not so subtly emailing him about for months), all the way through the final minutes of the big day. Accompanied by Jason O’Malley’s humorous illustrations, Willcox offers tongue-in-cheek advice for every wedding-planning moment, whether it’s dreaming up the perfect wedding-weekend hashtag, planning a gift registry to make everyone jealous of your fabulous lifestyle, or figuring out how to distance yourself from the poor, unfortunate souls who didn’t make the cut for your guest list. Laura Willcox’s refreshing take on all things bride will turn tradition on its head, and have you rolling your eyes and reading passages out loud to your engaged (and married) friends. This funny book is a perfect gift for the friend who can’t stop pinning to her dream wedding board, bridezilla-to-be, or any bride who would benefit from a much-needed break from the stress and madness of wedding planning. “Perfectly mocks the absurd wedding-planning industry. Whether you’re having a big wedding to prove something to your ex, or a small wedding to make your loved ones feel excluded, this book will make you laugh through the overwhelming planning process.” —Lauren Lapkus, actor and comedian
