I actually did a similar post to this on my blog. I am obsessed with reading fashion books and have a large collection. Extra Half an Inch is definitely a favorite. Victoria Beckham dishes tons of tips and it gives you a glimpse into her life, which seems very glamorous. I also loved The Little Black Book of Style and the One Hundred by Nina Garcia. Again, she offers tons of tips and has a sense of humor about it all. I have to read Influence, definitely on my wish list. I really enjoyed Lauren Conrad’s book and Parisian Chic as well. Overall, great list!

I disagree that converse shoes are a trendy item. They might not be as old as say a black dress, but they’ve been in style for decades. As far as casual sneakers go, they’re as classic as you can get as long as you stay with the original styles (none of the ridiculous double-tongued ones) and solid colors like black, red and pink.

It’s ridiculously late in coming, but have you read the Cheap Date Guide to Style? It’s the best style guide book I’ve read, a tie with Nina Garcia’s Black Book of Style IMHO, and oh, definitely worth a read.

Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it, but the Goddess Guide by Gisèle Scanlon is just lovely! It’s not just about fashion, but about lifestyle aswell and the way it’s laid out, it has a lovely scrapbook/inspiration notebook feel to it!

Nooo! You didn’t put down Tim Gunn’s Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style! I love how he writes, and his personality is the best. Not to mention how awesome the book is in itself.

You MUST put “The Fashionista Files” on this list. It is so everything I know.

I received both of Nina Garcia’s books for Christmas from my mother, and I absolutely loved them. I love fashion and am planning on a career in fashion PR, but have always felt like I can never quite find my own personal style. Reading her books really helped give me some ideas and guidelines, and I realized that I do have my own personal style, I just needed to get a little focus! I haven’t read any of the others, but after reading this review I will certainly be purchasing them.
