Whenever Nina Garcia writes books about style and fashion, it certainly pays to listen to what she has to say. Previously providing us with The Little Black Book of Style, Garcia returns to impart some words of wisdom on the One Hundred Pieces that every Stylish Woman should own. The thing I love most about this book is that it is not intended to be a prescriptive list of items that you must have to be considered fashionable, rather this book is all about embracing trends and classics in a personal way...hence creating your own personal style.

Aside from the completely sensible fashion tips, the book is also scattered throughout with beautiful illustrations by Ruben Toledo and inspirational (and stylishly relevant) quotes, this book is certain to make any woman smile...and want to shop!
