Book Reviews of Colin Cowie Chic: The Guide to Life As It Should Be
Book Review: Life how it should be indeed!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great colour photographs, great ideas and just a little bit anal. If only all of us could have the money and storage like Colin Cowie, but he does give excellent tips on organising and being a PERFECT host. Personally, I love the guy, I've even got a cupboard for gift wrapping now...with pre-wrapped gifts in it. I think this will be a reference manual for me if I ever need to check what I should be doing when a guest comes to stay, or if I'm setting a table for a dinner party - his fabulous photographs will give me inspiration on table design and flower arranging. Even if you buy this just for the photos - it's worth it. Perfect gift for the "Bree Vandercamp" friend in your circle of friends!
