The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own by Nina Garcia

I just got this book yesterday and I have already read it and LOVED it. I was a huge fan of Nina's last book, The Little Black Book of Style, so I knew I would love this one too.

This book outlines the 100 items that every woman should have in her closet. Yep, 100 because lets face it all of those other sources claiming you only need 5 things is total crap.

Just like Nina's last book, this one is illustrated by Ruben Toledo -- which makes the book that much more enjoyable to read.

What are the 100? Well, I don't want to give them all away but here are some that you might find surprising (especially from Nina):

- Converse
- Push-up bra
- Zippered hoodie
- Old concert tee shirt
- Red lipstick
- Peacoat (from an army surplus store is best)

There are also the usual suspects like:

- Little Black Dress
- Pearls
- Diamond studs
- Animal print

This book is great and I highly recommend it. This would also make a great inexpensive gift for fashion lovers.

just briefly looked at it at the bookstore, but want to get it. It looked like a good reference book and would be fun to read. (via amazon.com)

I'm not particularly fond of Miss Nina, in fact, she's the second most annoying judge, in my eyes, on Project Runway. Sometimes she just has that snooty air about her...any matter, this book is the fashionista's bible. Every stylish chica should have this silver beacon on her nightstand.

An A to Z list assembled by discerning fashion guru Nina Garcia and lushly illustrated by Ruben Toledo, this is a simple, straightforward directory of what to where, when and why. Good gifting.

If I could limit my wardrobe to 100 stylish pieces, then I would have a lot more closet space. A must read for Nina Garcia fans

I'm really into style books and it makes sense that they're usually really pretty books. I'm excited to look at the content- it's on pre-order until August 26th.
