Its so well written and includes actual real life tips for extending your existing wardrobe and developing an eye for creativity when trying to enhance your sense of style. I can honestly say that Im looking at my closet of clothes so differently now and pairing up certain pieces that I never thought of coordinating before. She also gives you several unique websites...most of which I had never even heard of...that has opened up an entire new world of cheap chic shopping for me. This is not a dumbed down "fluff" style book...this is a sophisticated; real-life guide for women ready to apply real tools to develop their style. Im going to buy even more copies for holiday gifts this year!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. All the style advice you need in one place - TIMELESS ADVICE!By SoromaI was looking for a book to help me both whittle down a kind of eclectic wardrobe; and to build up a collection of trend-proof basics. This book is well-written; clear; and fun to read! I am about 3/4 way through; and definitely feel that I got my moneys worth. Lilliana Vazquez shows you:-What pieces to spend more on; and where to save your money-How to figure out your style-Where to find inspiration-A handy list of trend-proof must have basics-Places where you can get a bang for your buck-How to tell if an item is qualityShe also gives you exercises on collecting fashion inspiration; which I had a blast doing on a popular free web-based pinboard site (ends in "-interest"). And although I love blogs and websites; this book is great because all the information on looking great for not much is in one easily searchable place. By far; this is one of the best books on style that Ive read; and the information in it is really trend-proof. BRAVO!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
