Are we living in the “fugliest” era of all time? Fashion bloggers, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan of Go Fug Yourself think so. And to mark this moment in history they’ve written a book that’s just as addictive as their blog.

I’ve had a review copy of fashion editor, Hadley Freeman’s new book for a while now but only just recently managed to sit down and have a proper read of the fashion bible that’s being dubbed an “A-Z of fashion and style”. It’s titled

Upon first glance of the title, “Wife Dressing: The Fine Art of Being a Well-Dressed Wife”, which was first penned in 1959 by model and designer, Anne Fogarty, I instantly thought that this recently re-released “how-to” book would be outdated or even degrading for on-the-go, modern day women like ourselves. I mean, we’ve come a long way from the days when career...

We had a fabulous time Tuesday night at the book release party for Susan Redstone’s newly published fashion bible aptly titled “JUST TRY IT ON!

The book serves as a true rags to riches memoire of Star Von Bunny,...

These days the stylistically challenged have no shortage of fashion guides with snappy names and cumbersome subtitles. Want to look like Nicole Richie? Read Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, & Everything Glamour. Or learn how to make it work with Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style. And for those in search of a more individual look, there’s...
