Summary: Wonderful style guide!
Comment: LOVE this book! Nina is gorgeous and knows of what she speaks. The 100 are timeless classics, with a fashion-editor's twist. The book is fun, the illustrations are beautiful, and the advice is valuable with an "insider's" edge.
Makes an excellent gift.

Summary: some girls don't get it.
Comment: i absolutely love this book. full of creative advice and pictures to match. some things are pricey but you can always swap in your own take of it. and as far as some complaints that it's all been done, well maybe you're a bit of a know-it-all... i am pretty sure she wrote this book for women who aren't sure what they need to acquire a great look/wardrobe.
all in all - this book is inspirational and worth every penny.

Summary: How to spend a Million on your wardrobe and more....
Comment: This book had some nice pictures and ideas, but I don't think it is the most helpful. It also rubbed me the wrong way telling me to buy mostly items that cost several hundreds to thousands of dollars to achieve style. We all know that style is not a matter of money, but of arranging pieces from your wardrobe in an interesting manner. I wish that Ms. Garcia would of mentioned some of her favorites some high priced to moderate priced. Ms. Garcia only mentions the high priced items. That is why I recommend the other book I read recently called: How not to look old: fast and effortless ways to look 10 years younger, 10 pounds lighter, 10 times better by Charla Krupp. Since I am in my forties I found this book much more helpful in improving my style and looks, plus the author Ms. Krupp recommends low priced to high priced items.
The other books I think worth checking out if you want to improve your style are: In the dressing room with Brenda: a fun and practical guide to buying smart and looking great by Brenda Kinsel; and Brenda's wardrobe companion: a workbook for getting the look you want, with the clothes you love by Brenda Kinsel.
I enjoy reading books about style, but this one by Ms. Garcia is not the best and I do not recommend it.
