Written in Nina’s own confident and unapologetic voice (She unabashedly declares, “I love fur!”), you can almost her her say “Impeccable!” when you read it. (Project Runway fans, you know what I mean!) Nina promises that it “is not a book of rules… I am going to help you build your style confidence, find what works for you, edit your closet, teach you what to look for, and give you a few tricks of the trade. This is a crash course on style references, insider tips, and avoiding being the fashion victim. ” The insider tips are from fashion industry notables such as Diane Von Furstenberg (on inspiration and confidence), Cameron Silver (on buying vintage), Gilles Mendel (on fur), Victoire de Castallane (on jewelry), Christian Louboutin (on shoes), Vera Wang (on weddings), and more. Nina also offers suggestions from where to draw style inspiration from, and lists fashion history cliff notes from the 1920s to the present. What I love most about this book is that it literally is a little black book of style. It is a small book with a black hardcover and is styled to be effortlessly read. The illustrations by Ruben Toledo are amazing! They are sprinkled throughout the book and are a visual delight. You have got to see them! The Little Black Book of Style is a fantastic little book that’s got style as well as substance. You’ll want to buy several: one for yourself and the rest to share with your girlfriends!

Nina Garcia is one of my favorite Project Runway judges! She is THE reason I watch the show. I am crossing my fingers (and toes) that I get this for Christmas...if not, I'll be buying it the day after.

This is a fantastic book. I was not sure about this book, but as soon as I started to read it I loved every single page. It's very easy to read and the tips and advices are precious: adapt thing to your body, to the occasion and above all: be confident! Oh and the illustrations (by Ruben Toledo) are precious!

Nina Garcia has a great style, with the right blend of "put together" and "uncomplicated", without ever looking like she is trying too hard. And with all her experience, who better than her to share the secrets of style? This book is a must have!

Not exactly a "coffee table" book, but it's a must have for the fashionista. And hey, who said coffee table books had to have large pictures?
