Book Reviews of Colin Cowie Chic: The Guide to Life As It Should Be
Book Review: Über Fabulous!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A Fantastic guide written by a Fabulous author who has taught me thru his writings that you don't have to be a millionaire to live a "chic" lifestyle. The need comes from within and the tools on how to perfect "chic" are all here. Before owning one of Colin's books, I lived in a tiny NYC over stuffed one bedroom apartment. His books and website videos have taught me how to organize my apartment and my life and how to "turn drab into fab". I still live in the same apartment, but it is now a stylish NYC one bedroom with plenty of space to host a fabulous buffet style dinner party for 10 to 15 guests; which I do regularly. Even my ice cubes now have sex appeal...thanks to Colin! "Chic" is my guide to living the life that I want; everyday! I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their lifestyle and...to be Chic!
