Good afternoon, dear readers!
On the way to building an individual image on the principle of "inside-out", we usually master the mass of skills and useful dating. You need to be able to create an appropriate makeup, and come up with a hairstyle, pick up the colors, cut, style of clothing, learn to maintain a secular conversation and choose the right device at the table at the right moment. All this is almost impossible not only without contacting the specialists, but also without self-education. Today is our topic: sources of knowledge about beauty, style and image.
Let's start with the classics: printed books. The best thing that can only help form and develop the taste, as well as expand the horizons - literature on art. It makes sense to buy colorful high-quality editions with reproductions and brief historical excursions: even simple pages can give inspiration and help learn how to feel harmony. The illustrated albums on the history of fashion and individual houses will also be perfectly served.
Next opportunity - electronic books. In my opinion, if you have an eco-friendly ink "reader", get acquainted with biographies, essays, essays and popular science books on a given topic best with its help. So you will not only save natural resources, but also take care of your health: you do not have to wear with you severity.
Source third - Internet. Of course, the search engine sites are what the collection of any information begins. And I urge you to use their maximum: look for interesting profile portals, forums, blogs and communities. So, for example, according to the keywords you are interested in, you can find a lot of interesting personal pages and community on the basis of LiveJournal.com and blogpo.com, where not only lovers, but also professionals in the fashion and style world. Here, on the Womanhit portal, you can also detect a lot of useful and relevant information on these issues! And, of course, learn the fashionable dictionary and trends on sites with Looks-images: for example, chitopia.com or lookbook. Nu.
And you can hone with freshly acquired skills, constituting collages on the site Polyvore.com. It would seem that you still need? In my opinion, the study of the world of image is not exhausted by the theme of aesthetics of the external. There are still a lot of areas in which it is worth a little plunge: they will help develop comprehensively, personally. What are these areas?
1. Etiquette: everyday, business, international, table and so on. Expert: Ivan Arzyshevsky.
2. Applied psychology and self-management. At least some modern classics: John Gray, Steve Harvey, Stephen Kovi.
3. Rhetoric. Start with Dale Carnegie. You can also get acquainted with the foundations of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), such as the works of Carswen Bredenmayer.
4. Development of intellectual abilities. Main author: Tony Busesen. Main skill: drawing "mental cards" (Mind Maps).
5. Time management. Authors: Gleb Arkhangelsky, David Allen, Julia Morgetnsn.
This "magnificent five" areas for self-education, becoming part of your life, will significantly increase its quality! You will not only look brilliantly, but also to succeed in communicating with any interlocutors. And, of course, it will not be able to do not affect the level of your income: either boost you, or you will succeed in your own business! ;)
I wish you good luck and inspiration!
