DESCRIPTION:
. Amanda Brooks is a fashion consultant who has written about style for the New York Times Magazine, Vogue, and Men's Vogue, where she wrote the popular online column "In Her Eyes." The former muse and creative director of Tuleh, she has appeared as a fashion expert on Today, The Early Show, and National Public Radio.
Smart, glamorous, media-savvy and remarkably practical, Amanda has spent her entire life constructing a unique, eclectic and intimately personal sense of style. With classic roots, bohemian flair, a taste for designer luxuries, and a love for bargains everywhere, Amanda has looked to every imaginable source of fashion inspiration-from high-fashion runways and magazines, to thrift stores and classic movies, to her neighbors in downtown New York and old family photo albums. I Love Your Style is a sumptuous full-color look-book and style bible, complete with more than 400 classic and modern photographs, that will both empower and inspire women to dive into the challenge of defining, or refining, their personal style. With fully illustrated chapters, sidebars, shopping lists, and personal stories devoted to a range diverse styles and shopping techniques-Classic, Bohemian, Minimalist, Street, High-Fashion, Cheap Chic, Vintage-Brooks walks readers through every angle of the fashion world, from the basic pieces and accessories that define a style, to the small details, combinations, and adaptations that can make it your own. The former muse and creative director for designer label Tuleh, and author of the blog "In Her Eyes" for Men′s Vogue, Amanda Brooks is a lifelong fashion chameleon

But beyond that this is kind of a waste of money.I wish this book didn't masquerade as a style manual as it's really all about Brooks, her journey through fashion and (as she makes quite clear) her ve. Fabulous Pictures Daisy Buchanan I have lots of style books - both Lucky manuals, the InStyle guide, Rachel Zoe's book, etc. - and Brooks's book is a good addition to the genre. She's doing something slightly different here: though she's divided the book into the standard styles (classic, bohemian, minimal, high fashion, street, and eclectic), she has lots of new things. Not much in here for regular people I bought this book figuring it would be similar to the Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style: a how to book about putting together a wardrobe. It turns out the book is way more high fashion, with a huge emphasis on designers and celebrities. Way too rich for my budget. It wasn't what I was looking for, but as a fashion art book it could be
