The Little Black Book of Style
written by: Nina Garcia

My very first impression of this book was . . . Wow! If I were browsing the shelves at the bookstore, this one would definitely catch my eye. The colors and lettering just oozes style.

Being a flight attendant, I found this book especially useful because even though we wear a uniform at work, you should see the way my co-workers dress on our layovers. Sometimes I feel like I'm back in high school trying to keep up with the latest fashions.

This book covers various topics such as the basics that every closet should contain, where fashions come from, what to wear in different situations, and tips and tricks from major fashion icons.

What I think they could have done better was maybe use some actual photos to help illustrate their ideas and suggestions better. The drawings that they do have are great but not very practical.

What I really liked about this book is that not only does it give you basic tips on how to put outfits and accessories together, it also stresses that everyone has their own style. Wearing the current trends is not as important as being comfortable with who you are. Confidence is the most important accessory a woman can wear.

However, the coolest thing about this book is all the quotes scattered throughout. My favorite is:

Fashion can be bought. Style one must posses.
- Edna Woolman Chase

If you'd like a copy of your very own, just leave a comment below before September 16th mentioning one thing you wish you never wore. A random winner will be selected on the 17th. Good luck!
