This book was just okay, not as good as I had hoped it to be. There was a lot brand name/label dropping. Do all women really need to own a pair of Jimmy Choos? I was expecting a more generic list, like every woman needs to own a pair of eff-me pumps. I'm disappointed.

An excellent little fashion-style manual. It's not wordy nor very flashy. It is a slim, quick, and helpful style book. The guide on using cult fashion movies (i.e.: Breakfast at Tiffany's; American Gigalo; Belle du Jour) and music stars was very helpful, especially if you're too young (chronologically or fashionista-ly) to know the connections & influences. The movies and rock stars listed were obvious. Like most fashion/style guidebooks, I did find this one to aslo be a bit snobby. Not everyone can afford a 100% (and long lasting) cashmere sweater to be worn casually to supermarket. A nice arclyic and cotton blend sweater can look just as nice in both professional and personal settings.… (altro)

I quite enjoyed reading Nina'sw style advice, even though it wasn't really anything new.

A swift review of style, or rather of stylists and frankly, I’m being a word-stylist if I point out the platitudes. For a review of famous names, it’s great. But there is a kind of style which women have everywhere and when it’s lacking, it seems to be a symptom that the environment is sick in some way. I was hoping for a different book.
