Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:28:22 +0000 Tomas http://www.hispanictips.com/?p=67717 Martín Llorens, renowned fashion and beauty expert of Univision’s “Despierta América” and the popular radio show “Hola Martín,” makes his debut as an author with Descubre Tu Estilo: Tu Guía Para Vestir Mejor (Discover Your Style: Your Guide to Dressing Better). Dedicated to the Latina women, this practical guide written in Spanish shows its readers how to dress for any occasion according to their body type and personality. Published by Random House Mondadori, the book is now available for $19.99 at www.holamartin.com and major booksellers nationwide.

In Discover Your Style, Martín reveals the secrets of style formerly reserved for the rich and famous. Through simple language, images of real Latina women captured by celebrity photographer Gio Alma, and practical exercises, readers will discover the keys to looking and feeling beautiful, stylish and self-confident. In an entertaining and engaging manner, Martín takes his readers on a journey that will teach them how to discover their body type to make the very best of their shape and learn how to dress for any occasion. Filled with beautiful imagery and illustrations, Discover Your Style will teach women the art of concealing and revealing.

“Martín has written a really different and practical book. Discover Your Style helped me accept myself as I am. Feeling confident is the first step to broadcasting an image of beauty and elegance,” says internationally renowned actor Kate del Castillo. “It doesn’t matter what type of body you have, as long as you know the difference between what you like and what fits and flatters your shape. Discover Your Style is a must-read for all Latinas who want to feel and look great.”

Discover Your Style unlocks the door to looking fabulous for any occasion by choosing clothing and accessories according to your body type and the unique style of each woman. To demonstrate the positive and negative attributes to consider when dressing, Martín selected Latina women of varying ages, sizes and heights and classified them in five categories. Step by step, the author transforms the image of each of these women and shows them how to achieve professional, casual and evening looks for each body type — without spending a fortune or sacrificing personal style.

“It was important to me that my first book serve as a practical guide for Latina women to discover and accept their bodies. Over the years, the most frequent questions I receive from my fans are related to how to take the fashion trends they see on TV, magazines and red carpets and how to adopt them to their lifestyle and curvier body types,” said Martín, who has spent more than 15 years inspiring U.S. Latino community. “My book will give Latina women the tools to discover their best features and learn how to dress accordingly, regardless of the fashion trends that will come and go – my readers will know what works and what doesn’t for their body type and personality.”

Born in Spain, Martín Llorens is a renowned fashion and beauty expert who has won people’s hearts with his charisma, charm and spot-on advice that helps Latinos accomplish their dreams. Through his weekly fashion segments on the national television program “Despierta América,” his numerous beauty articles and seminars; his recent national radio program “Hola Martín” which aired on Univision Radio, and www.holamartin.com, Martín stays true to his mission of promoting a balance between inner and outer beauty.

Senator Menendez will sign copies of Growing American Roots, which will be available for purchase on site, between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. The book signing will take place at NCLR’s headquarters, the Raul Yzaguirre Building, at 1126 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036.



“Senator Menendez demonstrates daily a sincere belief that he was sent to Congress to work actively to help improve people’s lives. He’s a dedicated public servant and an outstanding legislator, a combination that makes him one of the most effective lawmakers in the Senate,” said Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO. “He’s an indefatigable advocate for the Hispanic community, as well as for all Americans who feel voiceless and disempowered in national politics.”



The book, which is subtitled “Why Our Nation Will Thrive as Our Largest Minority Flourishes,” addresses the influence of the Latino community on U.S. society and examines—from his unique perspective as the only Hispanic member of the U.S. Senate—why this segment of the population is critical to America’s future prosperity. In addition, Growing American Roots chronicles the path that Senator Menendez took as the son of immigrants growing up in a tenement in Union City, New Jersey to become a U.S. Senator.



“This is a unique opportunity for the Latino community to come together to support the senator, his work, and his vision for the future of our community and the country,” added Murguía.



NCLR encourages Latino leaders to participate and lend their support to this community celebration. The event is free of charge and open to members of the public who confirm their attendance ahead of time, but space is limited. To RSVP, please click here.
