Book Reviews of The Little Black Book of Style

Book Review: a waste of a library "reserve"
Summary: 1 Stars

This was such a "duh" book, I was sorry I wasted one of my free Library reserves on it!!! You know the writer's in lala land, when one of the inspirational women of "fashion" include Cher....yup, nothing says style like a feathered boa headress and one inch long dresses.

I also find it ironic that she disses women who buy the "it" bag, yet she lists 5 designer bags as "must haves" (all of them costing thousands of dollars, of course).

All in all, there was more thought put into the artsy sketches and "fashion quotes", than in the sketchy "writing" that makes up the bulk of this book.

Summary of The Little Black Book of Style

Every time you dress, you assert your identity. With style, you tell the world your story. In that way, style affords you opportunities to think about your appearance as a quality of your creative character. The Little Black Book of Style helps you to explore your own fashion voice-the piece of you that joyously revels in the glamorous experience of creating your best self. From cultivating good taste to guarding against definite fashion faux pas, Nina Garcia offers readers the ultimate guide to follow when it comes to dressing their best. Including tips on how and when to wear an outfit, occasion-appropriate wear, advice on how to combine colors and textures, and inspiration on how to achieve your own signature look, you learn how to experiment, storyboard, archive, and play. Timeless and universal, this book seeks to remind women that eternal style is internal style, and that everyone has what it takes to discover themselves through the colorful palette that is fashion.
