More style than substance. Nice to look at and strong colour concepts versus any brand-new style advice. But maybe just the thing for a "quick pretty" on your busy sched. They remind me of KS before it was sold and got all neon and hello kitty. More "her" tone of voice, since Kate was an editor before she became a designer. There are three - Style, Manners and Occasions. I would recommend the first. You can take a peek inside on Amazon, although the parts shown are more "wordy" than the books as a whole which tend toward snippets with illustrations and tips.GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-16055452559129897622013-02-19T16:06:41.753-04:002013-02-19T16:06:41.753-04:00I've never read much about the Bouvier sisters...I've never read much about the Bouvier sisters, but I do love reading about the shenanigans that went on during the Kennedy years in the White House. <br />But since it's come so highly recommended, I will try to find a copy One Special Summer.

It is absolutely divine! Both women had such an amazing sense of style, didn't they? Love the photo of Jackie in 'my' Jack Rogers, too. I think either of those outfits could still easily be worn today.<br /><br />I was sent the book that GF mentioned-'Mrs. Kennedy Goes Abroad' by one of my lovely readers a couple years ago, and it is absolutely delightful. If you can get one, it will be a great companion to your book.<br /><br />Btw, I did get a chance to take a look at the Drew Barrymore makeup line at Walmart this past weekend. They didn't have any samples open to investigate, but from the outer appearance, I would say that the quality looks to be somewhere between Rimmel of London and Maybelline, but more expensive than either one of them.<br />Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-12433902331692625462013-02-19T13:34:02.898-04:002013-02-19T13:34:02.898-04:00You gels are killing me!
