Fashion is a part of who I am. I live it, breathe it, and occasionally read about. Over the past few years I have accumulated a good collection of fashion/style reference books written by some of my favorite industry leaders. What kind of person would I be if I didn't share these little treasures with fellow fashionistas? Magazines are great but sometimes you just need a good well-written fashion book. What a better time than Thanksgiving break to cuddle up with a posh page-turner? Finally have a break off from school so take a few moments and crack open a good 'ol fashion book!
Here are my favorites.
The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own by Nina Garcia
This is the first fashion book that I ever purchased. It includes wonderful illustrations by Ruben Toledo and many interesting fashion history tidbits that you may or may not have previously known.
Classy: Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady by Derek Blasberg
This book is exceptionally informational in a very laughable way. Complete with photos of the do's and don'ts of being a lady and inspirational quotes this book is great for anyone who wants to be fashionable and fun but also keep it classy.
The Teen Vogue Handbook by Teen Vogue
An absolute must for anyone who wants a career in the fashion industry!

The Teen Vogue Handbook is filled with stories about the industry's leaders and how they got to where they are today.
