She's brilliant at observing everyday feelings in a joy-sparking turn of phrase.' - Helena Bonham Carter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlexandra 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? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexandra Shulman","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67595046387955,"sku":"9781846018107","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781846018107.jpg?v=1790625647","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/black-coffee-and-red-lipstick-alexandra-shulman-9781846018107","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
