 LOVE IT!! November 10, 2008
I LOVE this book! Rachel Zoe has excellent tips & the photos are great. I personally love Rachel's own style of dressing & accessorizing. If you watched The Rachel Zoe Project & loved it like I did, you HAVE to buy this!
Lots of fun and good advice October 29, 2008
I'll admit I enjoy buying style books. I don't actually need a lot of help styling myself, but reading about fashion and style is a fun pastime for me. I read style books like other women read "chick lit" (which I can't stand) - think beach/vacation reading.
In that vein, reading Rachel Zoe's book was a great escape. Beautiful photos, fun commentary and, actually, a couple of really good ideas. I loved the section on clothing, shoe and jewelry storage. And I didn't expect the book to address interior decorating, so that was an unexpected treat. (Modernism isn't my personal style, but it was really interesting to learn a little about the subject.) At $10 and change through amazon, this book is a bargain. It didn't change my life, but it was fun to flip through in the bathtub!
 Not a style guide, just a photo album October 21, 2008

I'm very disappointed on this book. I thought it would be like a guide in how to dress according to your body type and tips on how to accesorize, etc, but all it does is to present Rachel's clients and talks about how much they like her. it has pictures of celebrities in the dresses she picked for them. It really looks like a magazine. a lot of celebrity pictures, pictures of Rachel when she was younger...
There's no guide in here, nothing that can help you dress better or be more stylish. It talks about how important is to accesorize but wont tell you how to. It talks about how confident you must be in any outfit you wear but wont tell you how to achieve the look that can actually make you feel confident.
Loved it! October 19, 2008

I can totally relate to Rachel Zoe! She is spot-on with her advice and she's right...Just take the extra 15 minutes! It's so worth it!

I really wanted to like this book, as I love shopping for clothes and am always looking for new info on fashion. (I also enjoy Rachel's reality show.) I read every word, and found very little information useful to the average American woman.
I now know how to dress for a party in the Hamptons, how to pack for my trips to Paris and Milan, and what to wear for the Red Carpet. Unfortunately, none of that applies to my life. I also felt the book was a capitalized opportunity to say "Look who I know" and "Look how many houses I have."
Also, it bothered me that a stylist like Rachel Zoe would not know that a pin that you wear on your lapel is a brooch, not a broach.
I would have to say the most useful book I've read on fashion so far is The Budget Fashionista. I like Andy Paige's website centsofstyle.org and understand she has a book coming out soon. I thought the Little Black Book of Style was also a good read. I'd skip this one if I were you.
