It goes without saying that Prada belongs to one of the most expensive brands ever. So, no doubts this book will impress you so much. I feel a lot of fashionistas will be ready to give almost everything for a piece from the renowned brand.
Why Work When Can Design Clothes?
Fashion is not only a trendy word, it is the whole world with its own rules and principles, stars and enemies. This world is opened to everybody and you will for sure take your own place there. The only one BUT! If you are just a fashionista, people will admire your style and nothing more, they will never take your talents seriously and you will never become a part of fashion history; and if you are a fashion designer, people will ask what is hot this season, they will admire you and pay thousands dollars in order to visit the same café you like))) I think you feel the difference.

Tips for Wearing Perfume
Nowadays, we will hardly find a woman possessing the only one perfume. Almost each woman has not less than 3 fragrances and one – the most beloved one, her unique, her absolute favorite.
People have used perfume, and oils for thousands of years in lesser or greater amounts. The early Egyptians used special perfumed balms in religious aims. Many plants such as rose and peppermint were used to extract perfumed oil from them. It is amazing, but after trying a plenty of ways of perfume creating, we still make fragrances in the same way as our ancestors did.

Play With Me: Dolls for Big Girls
Recently, dolls used to be only dolls. Small girls (and sometimes boys as well) played with them, until they became older. Afterwards, they were not children anymore, that’s why dolls were thrown away and left alone. These dolls hold little appeal to them now. Everything has changed with the appearing of the 1st Barbie girl, it turned the world upside down. We began: “Think Pink!”. We fell in love with her at the 1st sight and still can’t find the remedy.
Really, she is beautiful, slim, and attractive, she has everything she wants and no matter the event, Barbie girl always looks stunning. Most designers in a very quick way have realized how profitable it is. And they started creating their own variants of Barbie-dolls.
Actually, they are not simply dolls anymore. They are cool dolls, cool and extremely expensive toys, nobody plays with them, most people buy such dolls in order to show them to their friends and to feel proud, that they are capable of spending more than $300 to buy a single doll.
Dear fashion-lovers, 3 cool dolls are to your attention and we start from Barbie, she deserves it.
- Barbie dolls
The first Barbie-doll was created in 1959, the American business woman – Ruth Handler considered to be its creator. Design of dolls was inspired by a doll from Germany – Bild Lilly. Barbie dolls had incredible market success and only in recent years they faced the music – competitors – Bratz dolls.
History
Ruth had a young daughter – Barbara who while playing with her dolls, adored giving them adult roles. Most toys were made in the form of infants. In 1956 Ruth made a trip to Germany and there met a doll – Bild Lilli, this doll was not a child, she had a body of a young woman and children were gaga over dressing it. So, after returning to the USA Ruth designed her own doll, her husband worked at the Mattel Toy Company and on March 9, 1959 Barbie was born. Her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.
Barbie is not a doll, it is a cultural icon, possessing many honours and awards (as a toy).
Controversies
Barbie doll became an idol, an example to follow for most girls-teenagers; they want to look like she looks, to behave the same as she behaves and to be as slim as she is. And they never care about the aftermaths.
In slang Barbie-girl means a shallow and not interesting, even stupid girl. Also Barbie was criticized for promoting an unrealistic idea of constitution, thus, pushing girls to anorexia. And in 1997 the waist of a doll was redesigned in order to suit contemporary requirements.

Story of Valenki
Valenki are traditional Russian winter boots made of felt. They used to be extremely popular and still a prefect symbol of the Russian Federation. Their story started many years ago, the technology of their producing is unique: each valenok is made from a seamless strip of 100% lamb wool. Thus, they are extremely warm and healthy felt boots. They are “bathed” in special acid and then in boiling water and before the final step – drying – they are given a form of a foot.
Valenki are perfect for healing of cold-flu, rheumatic disease. Hairs of wool gently massage feet, make blood circulation much better and take care about immune system. And now, valenki are ideal for cold weather, you’ll stay warm even when it’s 40 degrees C below zero. According to a reliable source, they are more reliable than Swedish or Norwegian ones. Russian valenki were worn by both common people and members of tsar family. Valenki are not waterproof, so most people adore wearing them together with galoshi – special rubber clogs to protect valenki from water, wear and tear.
