Editorial Review: Product Description: On the heels of the fabulously successful Lucky Shopping Manual comes the complete handbook for creating a great look based on ten iconic styles —packed with more than 450 color images. With a circulation of 1.1 million, Lucky magazine has taken America’s most dedicated shoppers by storm, offering real-world advice and first-rate finds. Now the Lucky experts show how to put it all together in an inspiring collection of ideas that go beyond the basics and yield endless innovation for year-round reinvention. Based on the techniques used by fashion designers for years, The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style features ten versatile archetypes that can be customized to fit varying moods, personalities, and body types. Applying these enduring styles to a dazzling spectrum of possibilities, The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style deconstructs each look, with components including clothes, shoes, accessories, patterns, and colors. Just as designers use swatches and images to spark creativity, readers will have access to hundreds of photographs from style setters. Must-haves for every closet, foolproof instructions, profiles of real-life Lucky Girls, and money-saving Lucky Breaks make this the indispensable resource for complete chic. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It's alright... borrow it from a friendI was hoping this book would contain more information such as how do you put together an outfit from a closet full of seperates. This was not the case. Save your money and borrow this book from a friend. Rating:  - Poor fashion guideAnyone who is thinking of buying this book, would do better to purchase a copy of Lucky Magazine. In fact, you can get a yearly subscription for less than the cost of this book. This book is basically a extended version of a Lucky mag feature. The thing I found most objectionable about this book was the fact that the "essential pieces" were very trendy.

However, I felt like they should have described certain aspects of the style more. At the start of each style, you get a small blurb about what they consider the style to be (emphasis on small) ...

The photos, the styling, the real-women examples of each particular style, the clothing and accessories suggestions were all spot on. Identifying how to put together the look I'm after is what makes "The Lucky Guide----" more than worth a place close to my closet! Rating:  - Really Good, BUT...This is not so much of a review as a brief rant: I love Lucky Magazine and "The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style..." is an excellent book. However, not everyone in the world is 25 and size 0. Please, please, please throw the rest of us a bone. Why are most of the fashion icons -- who are aging every day just like the rest of us (unless they have already died) -- shown only in the halcyon days of their youth? I can understand showing a photo that shows a clearly defined moment in style, but must all of ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
