review 1: Style, by Lauren Conrad is a non fiction book in which she expresses her perspective on many topics of personal style. These include Building a Wardrobe, Mastering your Closet, How to Shop and many more. I personally love Lauren Conrad's style which allows me to fully enjoy this book but it does not only focus on her style but developing your own personal style. She starts with baby steps that make it almost impossible to fail. The way Lauren Conrad writes this book is almost like you’ve known her for many years and thats shes right there with you telling her style secrets. It allows the reader to be comfortable while enjoying this book.Throughout the book she has purple side bars that contain helpful tips personal stories and even embarrassing ones (Those are the best... more parts). This allows the reader to know that Lauren isn’t just another crazed celebrity trying to make a quick buck, it shows that she really cares about fashion and making a difference in the personal style of others.Style is the sort of book you can read again and again because the information and the main message is timeless. From classic hairdos to preppy outfits that will always be in style. This book gives me inspiration for many of my outfits everyday. It also taught me that anybody type can be stylish, you just have to dress up your best qualities. Lauren Conrad did an outstanding job on this original book. If you want to know more about the style secrets Lauren has collected over the years then pick your own copy of Style by Lauren Conrad. This is an inspiring book that will help your personal style flourish.
review 2: I'm a closet fashionista, no pun intended. My interest in fashion lead me to buy Lauren Conrad's "Style" on a recent trip to Barnes & Noble. While I know virtually nothing about this Hollywood starlet, I was attracted to "Style" on the recommendation of others as well as the nice layout of the book itself. It was a short and enjoyable read, with only a few cons to prevent a full five-star treatment.The book is divided into various chapters, where Conrad addresses a wide variety of topics. The book encompasses not only clothing, but overall 'style', with chapters on make-up, closet organization, and how to photograph well. The vast majority of the tips were helpful. For example, Conrad mentioned a shopping test, where one steps away from the mirror and when they step back, note what is the first they notice about themself. This test came in handy during my last shopping excursion! The overall messages of the chapters are positive and full of sound advice on how to dress one's body type, focus on buying versatile pieces, keep one's closet clean, etc.The drawbacks to this book were minor. The make-up section is short and almost unnecessary, as it only offers only how-tos on Lauren Conrad's usual look. Of course, this book is by Lauren Conrad, but considering the rest of the book deals with personal style (and not Lauren's), the chapter seems out of place. Sometimes the details about Conrad's personal life create a disconnect with the reader. How often she shops, how much she spends, where she travels: While they're important details, they paint a picture of a charmed life that make her advice seem impractical. Plus, a personal disclaimer - I can't say I'm a fan of Conrad's signature mini-skirts/dresses. While this may not offend other readers, and it factored little into the actual content of the book, I think it is important to note this fact for those of like mind when it comes to modesty.Nonetheless, "Style" is entertaining to read and a helpful companion to anyone looking to discover their own 'look' and develop their wardrobe. I would recommend to anyone who has an interest in fashion. less
