Product Description
Flushed with the success of her sexy style guide, How to Be Adored, international fashion authority Caroline Cox presents the follow-up, Grown-up Glamour. This timely tome is close to her heart, for at the fab age of fifty Caroline is not prepared to give up the spotlight without the fiercest of fights. Let it be known that this particular author has perused the bookshelves and found them wanting. Where are the style guides for the glamorous older woman? Where are the tips which will give us 'oomph' and 'va-va voom' rather than skimmed milk and a face full of Botox? Where is the guide for the woman who wants to age enjoyably, cocktail in hand, surrounded by admiring swains rather than stretched out at a clinic with her face being stitched into a desperate rictus grin. In her inimitable style (and aided by the wise words of her ageless Hollywood heroines) Ms Cox provides a book chock full of her own tips, hints, beauty and fashion advice - but this time for glamorous grown-ups. And remember her mantra 'Miles on the Clock Means Much More Fun!' In the pages of this meticulously researched, entertaining and indispensable book you will learn how to reclaim your spotlight - and the new Fashion Maxims for the glamorous grown-up will show how any body shape can look good. You will be exhorted to 'Hold the botox!' because a series of miraculous make-up tricks will make you look younger in minutes - without the need for anaesthetic. And when you are feeling bright-eyed and bushy tailed, ready to get back 'out there' after being dumped, divorced or worse, this book will help you be a modern Mrs Robinson - but without the messy moral ending.

Format:Hardcover
I was soooo happy to get this as I loved How To Be Adored. As a 40+ woman I have really hated style guides written for my age group - they either fall into the category of spending loads of money on anti-wrinkle cream, botox etc or are new age type things that try and get me in touch with my spirituality. This is glamorous, has tips from gorgeous older women and style icons from Marlene Diterich, Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn through to Sharon Stone, Cate Winslet and Catherine Zeta-Jones. There's is loads of advice - the chapters on hair and make-up are really useful and I loved the clever travel stuff - how to do a city in the manner of particular stars Madrid like Ava Gardner, Los Angeles like Kim Novak giving the names and addresses of the old Hollywood bars and venues. Truly inpirational!

I read this book in one evening. Although I can't really say it helped much in the sense of content and making huge changes to the way I look, for sheer entertainment value, I am glad I bought it.
There was a very interesting chapter on facelifts - ie don't have one and the reasons why.
The womanly (read: catty) remarks were funny and the photographs were lovely.

This was a good style reminder - some of the content was a reinforcement of what we already know - key style items include good fitting trousers an LBD, trench coat etc, but there was enough new to me information to make it worth buying.
Helpful sections on handbags and dating: especially how to spot fakes in both contexts...
Have already recommended it to several friends - great to dip into.

Uplifting Advice
Very good fun, excellent message and sound advice. What's not to love? Thought had lots of research and didn't fall back on use of Botox. Very feel good and intelligent.

A wealth of wisdom wrapped in a fun practical package.
What a fantastic book. Intelligent but also hugely fun, practical without being patronising, interestingly historical but bang up-to-date. Read more
