Product Description
A celebrity fashion stylist reveals the tricks of her trade and shows women of all sizes how to pull together their own polished, individual look.
Whether she’s petite, average, or plus size, every woman has experienced the frustration of searching for flattering clothes. In The Pocket Stylist every reader can have a consultation with her own personal stylist and use the author’s behind-the-scenes wardrobe wisdom:
– Taking her true measurements—from eight different body zones—to ensure an attractive fit based on the reader’s unique silhouette and the proportions that will flatter it best
– Why ready-to-wear isn’t, and how and when to use a tailor for a custom fit
– The best fabrics for your unique silhouette
– How to balance trends with the classic, indispensable pieces that are the backbone of any well-conceived wardrobe
– What “closet archaeology” can unearth and reveal about your wardrobe needs
– Why the right lingerie makes a critical difference in the fit of your clothes
– Tips from other experts on the beauty principles that ground your everyday look— Bobbi Brown and Sonja Kashuk for makeup and Kevin Mancuso for hair—offer backstage access
– Accessories that give an outfit an individual look and that no versatile wardrobe should be without
Best of all, The Pocket Stylist features specifically edited shopping lists for various body types. Four “styled” looks for each silhouette—from jeans-casual to cocktails—illustrate ideal proportion and fit. The reader becomes Kendall Farr’s client and will learn to shop and dress herself like a pro. The Pocket Stylist delivers the behind the camera expertise of a veteran stylist in one purse-size indispensable guide.

I read all the other reviews before ordering this book and compared them with reviews on several books on this topic. I am disappointed with this book. There is nothing new here. A Vogue Magazine would have been better worth my time and money. Also, the sentence structure and punctuation are so poor that many sentences had to be reread several times to understand, and some sentences were just a string of Nouns with a period at the end.

I don’t know who wrote the other reviews, but they were WRONG. This book is very dissapointing, there was absolutely nothing new, and while it gave a few pages on one body type, it gave it only half a page for other types. The language is more appropriate for a college text than a styling book. I bought this book with “the lucky Shopping Manual” and there was simply no comparison, the lucky book was filled with great drawings and samples, I just couln’t put it down, as for this book, I tried several times to find something interesting, something I didn’t already know, and found nothing. I wish the authors had used their creative thoughts to put it into drawing or pictures rather than lengthy confusing paragraphs.
