Average Rating:
 Rating: - WARNINGS About This BookBasically, there's a lot of good information in this book. The author covers just about everything I was looking for, from jean color to heel height to haircolor and nail length. And yes, as others have said, there are so many specific product, brand, store, and website suggestions, this book sometimes seems like one big ad. But . . . the author is right more often than not.

Each chapter had something to offer in the way of low, medium and high maintenance. No matter what your budget, there were recommendations. Everyone, no matter their income, body shape, or tastes ... Read More Rating: - Fair amount of good advice here...but try not to go overboard and take this book as the ultimate authority. Somebody else mentioned this- she comes right out and says "don't wear Uggs- no, never", and then a little further into the book there's a photo of three good-looking women she uses as models in the book, and guess what they're ALL wearing- yep, Uggs or Ugglike boots. There's more contradiction scattered throughout, but in all, it's a pretty good guide. She does go into cosmetic procedures without being judgemental, neither recommending ... Read More |
