Doonan explores vivid new “couture différent” through essays and interviews with fashionable eccentrics like Iman, Lucy Liu, Tilda Swinton, Malcolm Gladwell and more. In a stark contrast to what Doonan calls the “porno-chic” trends inspired by the hollywood harlots of late like Paris Hilton, Doonan takes your style in a bold, contemporary new direction in this book.

Say what you will about miss Posh’s vocal talents, she sure can pick an outfit (and a man!). Victoria Beckham’s book “That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels, and Everything In Between” is a surprisingly good read. From Mrs. Beck’s herself, “I was never the six-foot-tall pin-up. I’ve always been the girl-next-door who got lucky. I’ve come a long way in the last ten years, but this book isn’t my attempt to tell you what or what not to do. It’s just to share some of what I’ve learned.” In “Half an Inch”, Victoria discusses the following tips:

• Learn how to select the right outfit for special occasions (red carpet catwalks included)
• How to shop for everyday fashion and where to find it (and how to avoid the paparazzi?)
• Accessorizing– how to define the looks that work best for you
• Helpful tips for holiday style
• Making the most of a limited wardrobe
• How to feel confident and look great every time you leave the house

If you’re a hopeless Beckham fan, can’t get enough of your celebrities or have a genuine interest in Victoria’s style, this is a must read. Get it today!

After you’ve done your double-take at that title, we’ll assure you that this book doesn’t contain what you’re expecting. Despite the name, “Porn for Women” is coffee table safe, family friendly and 100% funny. “Porn for Women” is a pictorial book filled with imagery that would drive most women wild: seeing our men vacuum, fold laundry, cooking gourmet meals, actually listening… “Porn for Women” is a funny take on fantasy, and what we wish our “better halves” would man up and do for us on a daily basis!
