I recently got my hands on Nina Garcia's The One Hundred.
Some nuggets of wisdom:1. Bangles should never be less than six on each arm. Don't stick to one material. Mix silver with wood or plastic.
2. Opaque tights (even the really matte and dark ones) are NOT pants. But slap a pair on underneath a really short dress (ahem, Taylor Momsen) and the look is not as skanky.
3. Articles worth stealing from your man: The boyfriend cardigan and the crisp white polo. Never buy the feminized versions because those have lost the mannish appeal that makes it chic.
4. The rule with Cocktail rings? The faker the better. The same rule, however, does not apply with Designer Handbags.
5. The 'No White Under Labor Day' rule is only for fashion victims who don't know better. The next best thing to the LBD is the LWD. It doesn't get as much love, but it's definitely a must-have.
Lastly; 6. She who dies with the most stilettos, wins.
Pieces I would have included there:
- Slouchy Boots - I recognize that this may be, as foodies would say, an acquired taste.)
- The Motorcycle Bag - I am obsessed with Balenciaga!
- Chandelier Earring
- Breath Mints - Because bad breath is never ever sexy.
- Black Opaque Leggings
