She's brilliant at observing everyday feelings in a joy-sparking turn of phrase.' - Helena Bonham CarterBlack Coffee and Red Lipstick is a collection of essays that weave ideas about our domestic and daily life - hence the black coffee - with thoughts on style and the way we present ourselves - hence the red lipstick.It combines anecdotes and observations from Alexandra Shulman's 25 years spent editing British Vogue and her current life as a freelance writer and commentator. She draws on her experiences as a magazine editor but also a mother, daughter, sibling, girlfriend, housekeeper and lover of shopping.Alexandra left her job at Vogue in 2017 to embark on a different way of life and while this is in no way a book of self-discovery it does touch on the question of things or patterns of behaviour that make us who we are? The essays will be a mixture of ideas from her quest for the perfect eyeliner, to why picnics are so delightful. How it is that men and women see different things in the home - is there male pattern blindness? - to why our hair matters so much to us. Friendship, siblings, gardening and grey hair will also be explored with Alexandra's characteristic wit and incisiveness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ADS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42862629683280,"sku":"9781846018107","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781846018107_1.jpg?v=1787559994","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/black-coffee-and-red-lipstick","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
