I think I'm in love... With this book! And I am not won easily! Nina's advice is practical and leaves room for you to adapt her advice in your own personal style. She really sticks to the PIECES as opposed to the style or cut of them (which can make reading style books hard).

The illustrations were BEYOND fabulous and got me so inspired. They made me feel womanly, sexy and strong!

A lot of the things you may already own! There are some things you will be inspired to update (in your own personal style) and there are some things you may want to skip! Cool!

In addition the links/references provided give you the resources to research and find the best combination of things for you!

As with anything eat the meat and spit out the bones! But I have been looking for something like this for a LONG time!

I enjoyed this book, but I got it as a gift for a very fashion conscious young friend. Being snoopy, I looked through it. The next thing I knew I was reading it. The cover of the hardback is silver. I promise my hands were clean and with no oils on them but you can see my hand prints all over the cover! The inside is still pristine, but I can hardly give it to her in that condition. The book was great fun. I enjoyed the quotes and the little bits of history Ms. Garcia included. My favorite quote was "There are no ugly women, just lazy ones." Helena Rubenstein. It would be best to dream with your own copy and treat any hardback copy you are ordering as a gift with kid gloves or have it sent directly to the recipient.

I may have also loved the book because, although my youth can only be viewed in the rear view mirror, I was happy to note I have/had many of the 100 she recommends. I will be looking for one small taste of "animal print" because I haven't given up the good fight just yet.

One thing: many of us can not afford to buy at the level she is listing, so a little forethought is going to have to go a long way.

I bought this book and absolutely adore it. Cute pictures and witty advice. I also bought it for my girlfriends and each one feels the same way I do. I frequently refer to it when I make wardrobe purchases and it is a manual for the ultimate "closet cleaning" experience. I recommended this book to anyone that cares about clothes and desires a classic look.

From those with a love for fashion, to those who just want to learn more about it, this is a great one to add to your collection. This is not one of those super obvious books that offends the reader with no-brainer advice. Nina Garcia really caters to those of us who would like to go the extra mile with our wardrobe. This book is fun to read, it does not drag on or repeat itself. The illustrations were absolutely adorable and I love the fact that Nina suggests which designers make good versions of whatever she is talking about. Chanel little black dress, La Perla underwear, etc. Fun facts also make this book interesting. Only thing that would have made this book better in my opinion is more pictures; don't get me wrong though because there is already an abundance of them. Definitely my favorite book about fashion and style. The only one so far that taught me something new.
