Shop Your Closet: The Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Closet with Style by Melanie Charlton Fascitelli
First to recommend
Description
I read this book today while cooking myself up on my roof. This is a good book for people who have no idea how to maintain their wardrobes, organize their closets and all that closety goodness.
My closet needs this book, however I am way too stuck in my ways to take this books great advice. I will put it back on my shelf until the doors on my closet literally burst open.

The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own by Nina Garcia
First to recommend
7 people recommended this item
Description
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.

I used to loathe Stacy and Clinton but now I love them and What Not to Wear. They really give solid advice and make people feel good (after tearing them apart.) I am going to stop by the bookstore today to pick up a copy.

I just started reading this book last night and so far so good. I really like how Cojo manages to keep his sense of humor during such a difficult period. Can't wait to continue reading so I can update this recommendation.

3 people recommended this item
Description
Marc Jacobs tapped Sprouse to collaborate on Louis Vuitton accessories in 2000… the result was painted graffiti onto trademark LV logo handbags and created a trendy, must-have line of accessories. This much anticipated book is deeply researched and stunningly illustrated and designed. The book is available in hardcover, in four different color variations.
