 Don't waste your money September 29, 2007

I was hoping for a great book on fashion and style. This is not that book. It's much more of a "me, my glamorous life and friends" with a dash of usuable information. Not worth the time unless you like that sort of thing.

Okay, so a lot of people dislike Rachel Zoe intensely. That has nothing to do with the merits of the book. I can't say that I'd want be pals with Rachel and since I think the 70s were a hideous era I would never be comfortable in her clothes but I have to give credit where it is due. This is an enjoyable book. Rachel Zoe lives a madcap life and she's not apologizing for it and her ideas on how to prepare for your big night out are excellent. I plan to take up her suggestion of buying an instant camera to check out how a potential outfit really looks.
Her section on packing was very good and I even liked the section on entertaining. If you can only afford to get one book on style get Tim Gunn's but if you can splurge and you just want to be amused try Style from A to Zoe.

I hesitated momentarily in my decision to purchase this book. I wish I had listened to my gut instinct. It is nothing more than a platform for Ms. Zoe to convince us (and herself?) how truly wonderful she is. Pathetic and transparent.

I bought this book this month, I do not have the little icon on my sale asking me to leave feedback like everyother book purchased as in the years of past. No matter, I will leave feedback anyways.
This book, I may use myown money to send back, first time ever to send a book back. The book is written to glorify the author, using tired information and even more tired pictures from a handfull of stars (clients) I put the book down and walked away from it in hopes it would get better the next day. This done several times.
If the author's intentions were to glorify herself, she certainly did that. By the way, besides all the pictures of her are the even prettier drawings and paintings of herself. Hey they are better than the actual pictures!ENOUGH SAID!

I bought this book along with Nina Garcia's Little Black Book of Style. While the other book was great, this one was a total waste of money.
I completely agree with past reviewers who said this book is basically a compilation of Rachel Zoe saying, "Look at me and my fabulousness and all of my celebrity friends!" It's a whole lot of name dropping and the narrative format of the book prevents it from conveying any truly useful tips on building your own style.
And yes, the other reviews do look suspicious.
