With style, you tell the world your story. In that way, style affords you opportunities to think about your appearance as a quality of your creative character. The Little Black Book of Style helps you to explore your own fashion voice—the piece of you that joyously revels in the glamorous experience of creating your best self. From cultivating good taste to guarding against definite fashion faux pas, Nina Garcia offers readers the ultimate guide to follow when it comes to dressing their best. Including tips on how and when to wear an outfit, occasion-appropriate wear, advice on how to combine colors and textures, and inspiration on how to achieve your own signature look, you learn how to experiment, storyboard, archive, and play. Timeless and universal, this book seeks to remind women that eternal style is internal style, and that everyone has what it takes to discover themselves through the colorful palette that is fashion.

Rating: - Great book written by a great personality!Nina Garcia is my favorite Project Runway judge because of her no-nonsense, straight to the point critique style. I loved this book. What I loved most about this book were the anecdotes about her family and her Columbian roots. I wish she would have included more. The rest of the book is pretty much basic for anyone who studies fashion, but the writing style, which incorporates her off-beat sense of humor makes this a good read. I would have appreciated some pictures in addition to Mr. Toledo's ... Read More Rating:  - " you are either in or you 're out(of style)."The book was interesting but didn't keep me interested.
