Hot Tips: 1,000 Fashion & Beauty Tricks

...but then, I'm just a "regular" woman. This book came into my office, free, when I was the editor of a national woman's magazine in 1983. It's written for women who want to look good all the time, have a lot of style (but never clothes that have more to say than we do), and give VERY LITTLE THOUGHT to getting dressed in the morning. Hot Tips is a short book, liberally illustrated. I've been referring to it for 23 years, and now that I see it's FIFTY CENTS ... grab these while you can! Chances are it will never come back in print. The author, Frances Patiky Stein, is the woman (when an editor at Vogue) who discovered Vera Wang. Buy this book -- quickly. Never loan it out.

If I needed a book that would teach me how to dress in a professional manner AND for a myriad of social occasions AND what to buy for a complete wardrobe AND what looks best for my figure type, I'd buy this book. MUCH better book than Gunn's, Garcia's, and "What Not to Wear"'s (both sides of the pond) to mention a few.... This, even though published in the 80's (the famously tragic model Gia is on the cover of my edition), is without a doubt the most complete practical fashion & style book I own. The illustrations (couture style line drawings) are easily translated to today. The suggestions for basic clothing, shoe, jewelry, makeup, etc wardrobes for multiple uses (day city, day country, evening, resort, etc) are still universally applicable. This book could be used as a "bible for dressing" by anyone. Though there are only 3 reviews as of my writing, consider that every review is highly enthusiastic though the the book has been out of print for a long time. Spend the buck or two to buy the book: I GUARANTEE that you won't regret it!
