Instyle Secrets of Style: Secrets of Style : The complete guide to dressing your best every day

This is a good all round style manual with great pictures and easy to follow ideas. It is soildly built on the In Style magazine format (the US version not the UK one - the UK one being a poor imitation of the original). Worth the money for the special occasion advice alone.

I'm fully aware that style and fashion are two completely different things, but I do feel that the advice given in this book and mostly the illustrations are far too much on the conservative/frumpy/dowdy side. My guess is that most British ladies would like to dress stylishly, but a bit more modern than what is described in this book. This book features the most horrendous pair of knickers in the "Underwear" section I have ever have set my eyes on.All in all not bad, but if you want to be stylish with a bit of a modern twist, you'd be better off with the Lucky Shopping Manual!
