  Late summer heading into early autumn/fall is a such beautiful time of the year. You can feel everything growing still and soft; nature is slowing down and people are getting cozy. The most stunning colours can be found outdoors at this time. 
  Despite the natural beauty and your looking forward to the coziness of winter, you find that a few short months later things have gone awry. You have ploughed headlong into winter without design or plan; you are wearing the same clothes as last year because you have not put thought into your wardrobe; you have put on weight from indiscriminate eating and are complaining in your head, or worse, out loud that ‘it’s cold today’. This was me! 
  Many warm-blooded creatures hibernate when it is cold out and go with their natural instincts by doing so. They don't enter the spring season stressed; rather, animals waking up from hibernation are coming to sleepily, well rested and ready for the warmer season; so, why don’t we? We wouldn't go to sleep for months on end, but perhaps we can take a leaf out of their book and make winter a mental spa time of rejuvenation, beauty and pleasure. 
  It is easy to be enthusiastic about the winter season when the leaves are turning. Fall fashions are always fun to look forward to. We can rekindle our love for the colours of plum, navy and camel at this time of year. But a few months later the novelty has already worn off! 
  Discover strategies for not just surviving, but thriving this winter; on how to have a chic and beautiful winter season and emerge, like a butterfly ready for a gorgeous spring and summer. 
  If you are ready to change how you feel about the winter season, treat yourself to a copy of ‘How to be Chic in the Winter’!

  French Cinema - A Very Short...

  It is often claimed that the French invented cinema. Dominating the production and distribution of cinema until WWI, when they were supplanted by Hollywood, the French cinema industry encompassed all genres, from popular entertainment to avant-garde practice. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction opens up French cinema through focusing on some of its most notable works, using the lens of the New Wave decade (1958-1968) that changed cinema worldwide. Exploring the entire French cinematic oeuvre, Dudley Andrew teases out distinguishing themes, tendencies, and lineages, to bring what is most crucial about French Cinema into alignment. He discusses how style has shaped the look of female stars and film form alike, analyzing the "made up" aesthetic of many films, and the paradoxical penchant for French cinema to cruelly unmask surface beauty in quests for authenticity. Discussing how French cinema as a whole pits strong-willed characters against auteurs with high-minded ideas of film art, funded by French cinema's close rapport to literature, painting, and music, Dudley considers how the New Wave emerged from these struggles, becoming an emblem of ambition for cinema that persists today. He goes on to show how the values promulgated by the New Wave directors brought the three decades that preceded it into focus, and explores the deep resonance of those values today.
