Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-29 00:00:00 Beast Beauty As if I needed verification that I'm not a stylish woman... If I aspired to be, I'd need more than a couple of items, including: Ankle Boots Aviators Belts (can you believe I don't own a single one?) Brooches Caftans Cashmere Sweaters Cocktail Rings Cowboy Boots Driving Shoes Fishnets Gloves (not winter gloves, 'fancy' gloves) Havainas Investment Bags (i.e. the kind that cost more than $2k) Leather Pants Missoni Knits Pucci Signet Ring Stilettos Tuxedo Jacket Vans Wellington Boots and a Zippered Hoodie (nope, don't have one) Not that I have all the rest of the list, but I'm not even close to buying any of the above (while I may purchase some Spanx eventually). I didn't dislike the book, per se, but it's not one which will affect my daily life (other than giving me feelings of inadequacy if I think on it too long).

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-26 00:00:00 Brian Myers This book made me laugh. I sometimes struggle with the fact that I have only one outfit appropriate for going out anywhere vaguely fancy after work, and that I am totally averse to shopping and makeup and other things that make women look "presentable." (Hence reading this book on the recommendation of my more classically stylish sibling.) But then I remember that I am a field biologist, and that my idea of a good evening out is drinking a craft beer in the unpretentious brewery district near my house, or spending a few hours dreaming of garden box designs in the lumber section of the Home Depot, and I stop worrying about it. Stiletto mary janes and diamond studs, my foot! I would now like a cape and jaunty cap to go with my wellies, though, so the advice in this book has not been entirely lost on me. Sherlock Holmes-themed wet weather wear, here I come!
