When I was asked to review Nina Garcia’s guide to The One Hundred
I am an avid watcher of the hit TV show Project Runway, and I adore Nina Garcia. I love her understated sense of style, and I always anticipate her colorful descriptions of the outfits on the show. I have had the opportunity to review quite a few style and beauty books by famous style icons, and this is hands-down my favorite so far.
In The One Hundred
Of course, fashion is never one-size-fits-all, and Nina encourages her readers to find their personal style. One concept that is prevalent throughout her book is that style should seem effortless. Of course, the key word here is SEEM. If you want to look great, it will take effort. But the key is to look like you didn’t try too hard. This concept was the topic of this post last week over at youlookfab. Be sure to read the comment section.
The other concept that is reiterated time and again throughout the book is that a true fashionista will always throw in something a little unexpected. This is what separates you from every other person walking up and down the street and gives you a signature style. I’m still working on this one.
