By Marcy Gomez (Kansas City, USA) - See all my reviews


This is one of the best style/fashion books currently in publication and - trust me - I have looked. I am a big fan of Harper's Bazaar magazine, with its glossy spreads and entertaining, clever articles so this book was on my 'must have' list as soon as I discovered its pending publication in Amazon.

This book doesn't disappoint. Fans of magazines like In Style and People Stylewatch will love how this book blends a traditional style guide with the world of fashion and entertainment. Case in point, the Table of Contents covers the following:

In Style: Instant Style (Your Season-By-Season Guide for Work and Weekend)

From Publishers Weekly
InStyle magazine hit newstands in 1994, committed to celebrity lifestyle, and gets most of the credit (or blame) for the current obsession with celebrities: where they live, where they vacation, what they eat, what they buy and especially what they wear. One of InStyle's most popular sections is "The Look" pages of celebrity photos shot at fabulous parties and award events, with captions crediting their designer duds. But along the way, InStyle also became a premier fashion magazine, with the idea of bringing the fabulous to the many. This book by the editors offers a season-by-season guide to dressing well in all situations and being, well, in style. The coverage is entertaining, with much-photographed women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Oprah and Jennifer Aniston providing examples for "know your own shape"
