VOLUMES ON VANITY
It's never too late to update your fashion sensibility or your makeup know-how. For women newly entering the work force or for those who've been out of the fashion loop, there's help - and volumes of it - in the recent publishing of some outstanding books on fashion and beauty.
Tori Hartman's fresh approach to personal dressing and discovering what style type you are can be found in ``Fabulous You! Unlock Your Perfect Personal Style'' ($12.95).
For those wanting to better understand the power of creating first impressions and the importance of creating a good wardrobe, read ``Dress Code'' by Toby Fischer-Mirkin ($22).
The ever-popular Chic Simple series just added a new book to its line, ``Women's Wardrobe'' ($30). Packed with information from closet organization, to proper packing, to creating a fashion look that works with your style and figure, it promises to get you on the fashion track.
For the pure beauty of it, the newly published, ``The Face of the Century'' ($50) by Kate de Castelbajac shows visually the impact of makeup and style on society over the last 100 years. It is a coffeetable book showing beauty in the eye of the beholder.
All of these books are available at Barnes & Noble Bookstore, Virginia Beach. WHERE, WHAT, WHEN
