Product Description
Product Description
"Style Strategy" teaches readers that looking great and feeling classic isn't synonymous with emptying your bank account. Nina wants to show women how to keep oneself looking stylish and chic while saving money. Armed with her expert 'Style Strategy', Nina wants to help shoppers navigate alternatives to attaining high-end fashion 'looks' through a variety of options. The DNA of her 'Style Strategy' consists of three core questions. 'What do I have? What do I need? What do I want?' According to Nina, answering each question honestly before making any purchase for oneself helps to eliminate unnecessary spending. She elaborates on each question using the entertaining prose that has drawn thousands of readers to her previous titles.

of Nina Garcia's three books this book is my favourite. I have read many books and magazines on trying to develop a key wardrobe and it all make sense after reading this, it's not about latest fashions or designer brands more what you are happy in and what looks good on you. Using a basic philosophy Nina guides you thought what you have what you need to get and perhaps more importantly what you need to get rid of. Unlike other articles and books on the subject Nina philosophy isn't shoved down your throat merely suggestions for developing ones own taste

Credit-crunching stuff this: how to do chic on the cheap. It starts where they all start; the dreaded wardrobe decluttering scene. But wait! In Nina World, you don't have to throw out those unfashionable outfits with seams that are pinned together from sentimentality alone. No, no. In Nina World, it's OK to attach memories and emotions to a garment; it doesn't have to be consigned to a black bin-bag. Nina, you see, knows that her area of expertise is style. She doesn't set out to be a psychologist or a quasi life coach. She allows you your quirks - encourages them, almost - and shows you how to develop an approach to style that is fundamentally yours.
Featuring hundreds of well-chosen quotes from both philosophers and style icons (Miss Piggy, etc), there are also lots of insights into the celebrity life, eg Which blonde star uses a well-known brand of baby shampoo to maintain her locks? Answer . . . read it yourself!
This is the third of Nina's gorgeous little books: beautifully illustrated and presented and over-flowing with tips, humour and common-sense. For me, it's a bath-time read. If you're considering buying the book as a gift: excellent choice. But you'll need to buy a copy for yourself too.

I bought the Kindle edition of this book as it was less expensive than Paula Reed's Style Clinic which received better reviews but I wish I hadn't as I was disappointed with this book. Although it was a fairly enjoyable read and the illustrations were nice (although their effect was lost a little in black and white on the Kindle), there was no real practical advice whatsoever which was what I was really looking for. After stating five 'must-have' items for your wardrobe (the same ones that come up in all publications of this type), there were no suggestions or photos of how to put outfits together. The advice of 'be yourself' is a bit lost when people clearly buy a book like this for some concrete ideas. Not the best!

Disappointing
This was disappointing. I was expecting so much more from the reviews I had read. But I found it more of a philosophy than practical advice. Read more
