Steal Her Style: Iconic Fashion Looks and How to Get Their Look Paperback – 1 Aug. 2012

I love the look of vintage and have long wanted to know how exactly to emulate certain stars styles. Brigitte Bardot was the reason I bought the book. I love her hair! Plus she just oozed sex. This book broke it down: what she wore (starting with her undergarments) and how she wore it (waist cinched tight) and includes make-up colors, how-to's and even what to look for when shopping vintage. There are many other style icons in this book as well and it describes each style in a manner that you can use.

When the book arrived I was surprised in a good way - didn't wait for it to be so good! Every style icon is taken to pieces, each piece is described thoroughly. What this icon's life and style was about, what kind of dresses-shoes-purses she had, what make-up and hair were made.Important that the author is not only describing all details of style of this particular icon, but also describes how this style could be used by modern women and - most importantly! by whom. Does your body type allow to steal style ideas from Grace Kelly or Twiggy? The book will let you know:)However concise style of the book is a small (the only one) disadvantage - as you read you want to know more and more about this style, but here comes the next one..Apart from the interesting and useful information, the book will definitelly bring you visual enjoyment too!

I liked that the author shows different eras and body types. There was more detail to jewelry with Elizabeth Taylor for example than her outfits. If you are more of a jewelry person, than this may be a book for you.

If you love Sarah, you will love this as I do. She hits the spot every time.

I like this book because of the variety of styles it covers. The pics are great and the text provides interesting tidbits on each icon's personal style, as well as how to shop vintage stores for similar looks. This is a fun source for fashion inspiriation.
