The Pocket Stylist by Kendall Farr.
My personal style bible. Find it here. |
Be warned: this book is not for the faint of heart. If you dread taking an honest look at yourself (naked is not completely necessary, a pair of skivvies will do just fine) or your closet, then it's best that we bid each other farewell and part as friends. Because this book is all about getting down to the nitty gritty of personal style. You won't see any fashion fluff here. And I for one am all about getting the lowdown on creating a sense of true personal style. If this sounds like you, then read on!
Here's what you can expect.
- A comprehensive breakdown of style options for different body types with a simple way to identify your own body type.
- How to shop like a pro stylist using tricks and tips that Kendall Farr personally uses to style the most fashionable of celebrities and fashion magazine shoots.
- A list of must-have basics that no closet should be without.
- How to customize a fit to work with your unique silhouette.
- How to work current trends into your existing wardrobe.
- Finding the right underpinnings to make everything fit and look the way you want it to.
- And of course, how to accessorize to create a truly personalized look.
And all this comes straight from a pro stylist who has worked in the industry for nearly twenty years (more now, since this book's been out for a while now). You can check out her style blog here. She has styled the likes of celebrities, magazines, ad campaigns and private clients. But most importantly, she actually cares about each person looking her best, regardless of the label she's wearing or how trend-on her outfit is. She brings her years of experience in the field working with numerous clients to breakdown fashion and style in a way that is truly approachable for the everyday woman. Thanks be.
