I loved this book. It's packed full of very useful information and I love the way it's laid out. You can learn everything you need to know about style all in one place. Since there are no specific chapters it makes it more interesting and you'll never know what you're going to get next. All the information was really well written and intriguing. Great size, cute pictures, and so easy to read.
Good Book

I purchased this book for my 21 year old daughter. It is perfect for her as she begins her post-college life. She enjoyed the book, the ideas and suggestions.
A Beginner's Manual

I found this book while loitering in a gift shop & read it in about an hour. It's not terribly useful for a 40 plus woman. It's a better book for women just forming their identity. If you have established taste, have been reading magazines & fashion/ beauty books for a while, this book will not offer you any new information. It is attractively presented & illustrated, if a bit random in its organization. The only information that was new to me was what should be in a bar.Otherwise, how to buy jeans, suits, black pants, lipsticks & sheets is second nature to a lot of women. Granted, I plan on giving this to my teenage daughter, as SHE doesn't know yet things like how to find & use a tailor, pour wine or decide how much to spend on a coat yet.
Great gift idea

What a great gift idea for a recent college grad entering the job market or a teenager ready for a little more sophistication! (Not to mention those of us finally just getting around to using makeup and dressing better.) This basic guide to style is clearly written, with instructions simplified into lists, and cleanly illustrated. The suggestions are up-to-the-minute without being over-the-top outrageous -- in other words, a how-to style guide that's actually useful. Highly recommended.
