Book Review: The Little Black Book of Style : Nina Garcia

In 2007 Nina Garcia's The Little Black Book of Style hit the stores. Since then women across the country have edited down theirr wardrobe,bought with drama and are always properly dressed for the occasion. At least that is, those women who have read her book!

In this easy to read book on style Garcia speaks to you like a Girlfriend would over coffee. Only this girlfriend is the fashion director at Elle magazine and serves on the judging panel of Lifetime's Thursday night show Project Runway.

Nina sets the mood when each chapter opens with quotes such as:

Fashion fades,style is eternal--Coco Chanel

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.--Bette Midler

or my favorite:

The more you know, the less you need.--Aboriginal saying

With simple step by step chapters and darling illustrations by Ruben Toledo you are shown how to Be your own muse, The Basics, Inspirations, What to wear when, Insider tips and tricks, Fashion cliff's notes Decade by Decade and closing remarks where Garcia speaks to you on a personal level and encourages the reader to most importantly:

"Find out who you are and who you want to be in the world. I hope you choose to be fabulous, daring, fun, inspired, and yourself."

I keep this book on my vanity stand so that it is always with in reach when getting dressed to go out. The Little Black Book of Style is more than just a bedside handbook though, it is a book that encourages and inspires the reader to become the best version of themselves and to embrace who they are on the inside.

Once you read this book you'll want to add the others to your collection: The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own, Nina Garcia's Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion, The Style Strategy: A Less-Is-More Approach to Staying Chic and Shopping Smart

I love the sleek but edgy look to this office wear.

Guilty?

Something to think about before heading out to the mall this weekend:

I may be going out on a limb here, however I think most of us women would not be happy to find our boyfriend or husband looking at pornography. But do you realize that according to researchers from the University of Westminster in London YOU are just as guilty?
In a study ran in the New York Post women were hooked up to eye tracking devices and shown pornographic images. They tracked their response then showed them sale clippings from the local super market and their brain reacted the same way!

Project Runway Recap.

Spoiler Alert!

Challenge: "Create your own take on Classic American sports wear with Jacqueline Kennedy as your muse"

$300 budget.

GO!

The designers went confidently into the challenge with very little drama but as always a few with questionable style choices.

Michael D created a Milk made design "Crucible" look with a high waisted skirt that ended up a bit too short on the runway and packed on inches onto his models waist. Ivy rushed to the last minuet without even fitting it to her model. Good news: They had an extra day before sending it to the runway. Bad news: They now had to add outerwear to the look.

It wouldn't be PR without a bit of trash talk. Michael Costello was under the bus again with his Donna Karen knock off. And Valerie struggled with commitment in her design.

As always it all comes together on the runway. Ivy's pants suit was fabulous. With wide trousers, sleeveless blouse with an open neck line and light blouse grey overcoat, and round rimmed glasses. Gretchen was more camel color fabric and somewhat forgettable but safe. Valerie's "mall wear" was anything but Jackie O and Mondo worked it out with a purple hounds tooth skirt, paired with a black and white striped top under a short black purple lined jacket. Not to be out shined by his own personal wardrobe choice of black, tiny, boy short-shorts with suspenders.

Judges comments:

Michael Costello

April

Gretchen

SAFE

Valerie: "You made a jacket under a jacket!"(Heidi) "Simple doesn't have to mean boring. You missed the mark."(Kors) "That black Lycra skirt was a mistake!" (Garcia)

Christopher: Was Guest Judge January Jones' favorite "You draped your model with a dirty rag" (Heidi)

Michael Drummond: "Your outfit is skitsofrenic Jackie O" (Kors)

Andy: completely ripped open by judges on his slouchy crotch pants. Poorly designed "Laughable" (Heidi)

January Jones: Its not American Sportswear

           Andy: "Well, what really is American sports wear?"

                     Michael Kors: "I'm sorry are you now a Grand Couturier? Did I miss something?"

Highest Score:

 Mondo (followed by)

Cristopher, Ivy, and Andy

Bottom Two:

Valerie and Michael Drummond

OUT:

Michael Drummond.

Favorite Gunnism:(to Andy about his pants design)

"Jackie Kennedy would not wear camel toe."

Next time on Project Runway: Tim announces a project with an unprecedented prize!

Old Navy: Sinking ship?

Via Facebook tonight Old Navy seemed excited to present to their Fans their Fall Sneak Peak. However, it seemed to face more opposition than acceptance.

Jennifer: I really don't want to look like a grandma, thanks. (two thumbs up)
Ivy:To be honest I think they look gaudy.. nothing matches.
Danielle: I used to be a weekly shopper but ever since their style of clothes have changed to ugly I barely go there anymore. (1 thumbs up)
Beth  I am so glad I am not the only one who has trouble shopping at ON lately. I am not exactly overweight, but I would NEVER wear most of the clothes that are "in style" this fall.
Valarie: YOU NEED A NEW STYLIST OLD NAVY... simple as that (3 thumbs up) ouch!

Here's just one example from the collection. This piece seemed to carry the over all opinion of "Grandma attire".

The color scheme looks great I love the shift from the typically looks of Fall especially the bright white cardigan. Perhaps, Old Navy missed the mark on this one? Check out the posted collection here and judge for yourself. What will you be wearing?
