Nina Garcia's Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion

Customer Reviews:

Nice light read, but with some fatal issues

By Megan - August 22, 2010

The premise of this book, which is explained within the first few pages, is that there are ceratin "rules" about what to wear when, but that you can break those rules. So what's the point of the book then? The result is an overload of suggestions that go something like this: "What should you wear to a baby shower? You can wear anything you want! What should you wear to a graduation? You can wear anything you want!" I wanted a book that was much more direct in its inspiration and guidance. Sure, I understand that fashion rules are "meant to be broken" - but why not just say that as a kind of disclaimer at the beginning, and then actually teach those rules? That's the type of book I thought I was getting.

The illustrations are cute and nice, but I think out of place in this book. The outfit illustrations in each section were far more helpful than Ms. Garcia's blabbing about wearing whatever you want "as long as you have confidence!!!!!!!!!!" But, because they were... read more

Meatier Than Expected

By S. Franklin - August 16, 2010

This is a fun concept for a style book and I actually like that it is text-heavy, as Nina Garcia has such a nice writing voice. Outfit pictures rather than illustrations would certainly be appreciated, though they would also probably make the book date faster. When I saw that Nina Garcia was coming out with her fourth book in two years (I think?) I thought it would be pretty much filler, but I was pleasantly surprised. It does get a little repetitive, but it's a fun read with an inspiring can-do spirit.

My New Guilty Pleasure

By Black NYC Stilettos - August 24, 2010

Everybody eats an Oreo cookie differently. Nina Garcia's Look Book was my Oreo cookie. I simply couldn't devour it as a boring page-by-page turner. That would be a sin. I had to flip through the pictures upon first glance, then quickly grab a glass of wine and read all the "Rule Breakers We Love" blurbs back-to-back, giggling and relishing each one individually. THEN, to give you an idea of how slowly and thoroughly I enjoy my Oreo cookies, I took stickies and tag every page that I knew I would need to refer to on a regular basis for quick and insightful fashion and attitude pick-me-ups. My God, Nina even dedicated whole a chapter on what to wear when meeting your boyfriend's ex! She left no stone un-turned. In fact, last month after practicing from 6am to 7am for a huge company presentation, I finished my preparation with a quick read of the "Showtime Chic" chapter on "What to Wear to an Important Meeting or Presentation." The words strength, sophisticated, and confidence all from... read more
