Description
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.

Style A to Zoe

Description
Can a 70lb woman who has a complexion which resembles that of a raisin dole out fashion advice? Probably not unless of course her name is Rachel Zoe, then she can serve as much advice as she wants.
Zoe’s boho-chic style and shrinking clients (Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan) catapulted her into the public eye and has turned her into a fashion authority. Rachel Zoe has decided to share her expertise with the world by writing her first book which is hitting shelves October 3rd.
Zoe’s book Style A to Zoe spills insider tips on how to live a fashionable life. The book focuses on must-have accessories, wardrobe staples, when to splurge and when to save, how to decorate, entertain, and travel in style. She even taps into her fashionable friends for this book including: Michael Kors, Donatella Versace, and Diane von Furstenberg.
As much as Rachel Zoe makes me sick, I love her at the same time. I plan on picking up the book once it hits shelves. Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, & Everything Glamour $24.99

Vintage Fashion: Collecting and Wearing Designer Classics, 1900-1990

Description
As part of my mission for "me" time, I am reading every night before bed (just like when I was a kid). The book on my nightstand these days is Vintage Fashion. I really like it, it kind of reminds me of my days back in fashion school. It has a text book feel without being horribly boring. This books takes you back to the roots of fashion and highlights those forgotten designers that really paved the way to the great fashions that we see today.

A Guide To Quality, Taste & Style by Tim Gunn, Kate Maloney
3 people recommended this item
Description
I love Project Runway... I love Tim Gunn... I love fashion. But this book is kind of a stinker. It wasn't reading in Tim Gunn's voice to me. It did have a couple of fashionable nuggets but nothing that blew me away. But as a fashionista I am glad I own it because well, it's Tim Gunn.

This book can only be described in one way ... Shoe porn. I have been eying this book for a week now at a few LA bookshops and fashion boutiques where it costs $40 BUT on Amazon it is only $26. Now who is going to buy it for me? Huh... who? Seriously.

I read this book in college and it was really interesting... Maybelline beauty ads that really use Chanel cosmetics. Cindy Crawford using a body double... all sorts of Juicy nuggets. (via stylishthought)

9 Heads: A Guide to Drawing Fashion
First to recommend
Description
Once upon a time Fashion Kitty went to fashion school to become a fashion designer. I may not be a designer but I do still enjoy fashion illustration when I have the time.
This book is the only fashion illustration book I didn't get rid of Amazon.com. I still use it to this day. It is the next best thing to having an art teacher walk you through everything and the book is amazing looking. So worth the money, you will keep it forever.
