Even though I am and always have been what I like to call a self-proclaimed tom boy, I still have a bit of girly girl in me. I didn't start really getting into fashion until after high school, and even then I still wasn't "Carrie Bradshaw material". I am STILL learning different ways to style clothing, and that's why I was so excited to review Refinery 29: Style Stalking for Blogging for Books.
If you are someone that really loves fashion and loves learning new tips on pairing outfits, then this is a great book for you. They cover everything from the basics, how to layer, mixing prints, and how to wear metallics. I am completely clueless when it comes to mixing prints so that has been one chapter that I really focused on, along with the "1 Piece, 3 Ways" sections.
I will admit that some of the outfit photos featured in the book are pretty ostentatious and would make me wonder about that person's sanity; but the photography is really beautiful.
Refinery 29: Style Stalking is jam-packed with full color photography and not too long-winded in the wording department, so it makes for a very quick and easy read. I read the whole book in one sitting!
In conclusion, I would have to say, that if you can get past some of the bizarre outfit photos to the actual fashion tips, this book is very good at igniting a creative side into your thinking when it comes to your closet.

First off, I love the new blog design! So cool. The colors are my favorite. I'm always into "style" books and wardrobe books. This one looks like it's right up my alley
ReplyDeleteI read and reviewed this book as well! The photos were really great. I'm hoping to try to start incorporating some of their techniques into my personal style!

ReplyDeleteThe tips they gave were great, but the photo inspiration was a little strange in some places. Just a little too much for me. lol
ReplyDeleteIt was a good one, but I thought the photo inspiration pics they showed were a little too much for a normal person. The tips were great tho
