I can't believe I haven't recommended this yet! I kind of turned my nose up at this book before I read it (that was mean of me) but after reading it I take it all back. This book is great for wardrobe building. It takes you through all of the staples you should have in your closet and even tells you the history behind them. This is one book that should be on every fashionistas nightstand.

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?

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!

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!

I may take a look at this one.

I need all of the help that I can get......

In this book, Nina Garcia gives great advice on fashion. It includes useful descriptions on how to wear something and why it works. Plus I love the various quotes that are strewn throughout the book. (via harpercollins.com)

If you love Project Runway - you'll want this book

A great gift idea.

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. (via FashionKitty)
