(But they were more or less small-framed and small-chested) And I don't think the woman from The Coveted blog is in her twenties, either, and she was featured. I'm more wondering: How does anyone, of any age, afford so much haute couture? Seriously? But since a lot of this book involved some very clever and reality-based DIY at the same time--which was the most enjoyable aspect of it--I didn't feel the typical annoyance. </p> <p>Lucky Mag and media like that does irritate me for those reasons, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504420 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:01:09 +0000 nicoleb 504420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mochi! Looks fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504416 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:56:18 +0000 Mochi 504416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that basic info was unnecessary to me too, Astrid, and didn't fit in with the rest of the book's theme. That's one reason I didn't purchase it. I just enjoyed all the eye candy. No shopping tips, no body fit discussion, just some really one-of-a-kind styling going on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504414 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:55:12 +0000 modgrl 504414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find looking at these 22 year old skinny bloggers a painful exercise. I feel like they don't get me at all. I'm sure the book has value but it's sure to anger and annoy me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504409 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:49:21 +0000 Astrid 504409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this one in the store some time ago but didn't buy it. The pictures were really beautiful, but I didn't get the pages with the bags, shoes and so on, seemed kind of unnecessary to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504332 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 04:19:34 +0000 lyn* 504332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this at Winners for $9.99; if anyone is Canadian and interested </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504320 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:58:51 +0000 Anonymous 504320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy. I love a good book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504298 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:07:30 +0000 Debora 504298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mochi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504293 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:02:29 +0000 cheryl 504293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a fun read. Thanks for the link. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-style-book#post-504280 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:49:45 +0000 Mochi 504280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This evening at the bookstore I ended up browsing through a book called Style Yourself that gives insight into current fashion bloggers and how and where they find their style influences:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Style-Yourself-Various-Authors/dp/1616281316/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1325990576&#038;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Style-Yo.....038;sr=1-1</a></p> <p>I ended up not purchasing it, but it had beautiful photography, killer, completely unique style and some fabulous and truly creative ideas for utilizing items in your wardrobe (I wish they'd gone into that more). The bloggers skew extremely young, and their style is quite different from what we run into on YLF, but the visual feast, joyfulness and inspiration were so much fun to look at. </p>
