Great Book, 2009-11-05
by T. Davis
Great book came on time and in Great condition. A must read for all the wanna be fashionistas
Nothing learned!, 2009-10-21
by M. schofield (AL, USA)
I bought this book looking for inspiration. I found it merely contained the aspects of Rachel Zoe's glamorous lifestyle and glitterati friends. However, the photographs were 'nice'. The content is rather poor and definately not a style guide. Choose something else. My 2 star rating is rather generous.
NOT THE BEST STYLE BOOK FOR AVERAGE PEOPLE!, 2009-10-19
by Spurs_Fan (Bellport, NY United States)
I bought this book after watching Rachel Zoe's show on Bravo. I fell in love with her personality and sense of style for her clients. However, this book has nothing to do with what I saw on the show. I was expecting great practical tips and a good insight on how she became a stylist, but everytime I picked it up I became bored of her talking about DVF, Marc Jacobs, Valentino and other countless people who clearly the average person can't afford to wear.

I adore these designers, but clearly this book was written for the rich who can afford these designs. Also she included pictures of what I consider B list celebrities who she's dressed. And countless other pictures of family and vacations with her husband Roger. What I got out of this book was just like everyone else has been saying "Look at my fabulous life." I didn't get any sense of styling out of the book at all. And frankly it was a boring read as well. Try other books, def. pass on this one unless you want to see how Rachel Zoe lives her life day to day.
No Go, 2009-10-05

This book is neither informative, nor well-written. This is more of a biography than a guidebook. Rachel explains her lifestyle and the way she was brought up. She talks about how she traveled quite a bit growing up and lived without want. That alone causes her to lose major credibility. Most true creators create from next to nothing and not from being able to have access to any and everything. It's easy to create a full outfit and wardrobe when you have access to so much. It would be more beneficial to hear from the voice of someone who has lived with want and that has had to create masterpieces from the very little that they had.
Style A to ZOE, 2009-10-05
by Barbara D. Hatton (Seattle, WA)
Not all of us have a natural instinct for hair, makeup, or style. Hopefully we've learned some, or a lot along the way, but Rachel's book is sensitive to all of us, not just the glamorous; her advice is excellent. Why not be more sensitive to how we look?

I love the book, both for myself and as a gift. It's really a good reference book; one to get back into when we need a little advice. Very entertaining!
