I Love Your Style: How to Define and Refine Your Personal Style

Finding your personal style is about discovering yourself about embracing your creativity and the freedom to choose your own elements from the fashion universe.

I am shocked at how good this book is. Theres a wealth of info inside this book. Brooks divided the book into the standard styles (classic, bohemian, minimal, high fashion, street, and eclectic). She has an engaging and personal writing style; she talks about her life and includes lots of pictures of herself in different style phases. Though the book is clearly aimed at average women, Brooks is writing from the perspective of someone who works at Vogue (or is at least friends with lots of people who work at Vogue).  She does include specific outfit ideas and advice about how to wear the items associated with particular styles. The best part of the book, though, is definitely the pictures. There are lots of fantastic photos of stylish women from the last hundred years that I had never seen before. As Brooks points out, they all still look great today. All in all, this one is worth buying, even if you have several style books already. The photos and advice are inspirational and Brooks has a likable voice.
