5.0 out of 5 stars Bring Natalie Home! January 14, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a must-have for any woman who wants to take her style to the next level, but is looking for a little help on how to get there. Natalie addresses how to dress for body type and proportion, selecting flattering colors, how to build a stylish and functional wardrobe, harnessing the power of accessories as well as much more. Her tone is warm, motivating and no-nonsense all at the same time. She is adept at breaking down style advice into simple terms, while still conveying a substantial amount of information and speaking to the reader like a refreshingly honest girlfriend. I recommend reading the book twice - first, read through from cover-to-cover to get on board with the approach and get excited about the "upgraded you." Then go through again, taking time to work through the exercises that Natalie recommends.

Buy the book, and take your own personal image consultant home with you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book for a beginner April 3, 2011
By Elena
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A pretty good book to give to someone who does not know herself. Consists of 9 chapters, one talking about finding the right colors for your skin tone, another about right type of clothes for your body type, another chapter talks about building "the backbone" of your wardrobe, the basics, etc. The last chapter talks a little about finding your "uniform". If you are not a novice and know what suits you, what styles look good on you and which colors help you to bring out the best in you, this book is not for you. But it will make a good present for someone who has trouble finding their style.
The book covers the basic well and contains a lot of useful information in a very compact format, but you will not find anything new if you already know how to pull yourself together

5.0 out of 5 stars A must book for anyone who has ever been FRUMPY November 19, 2010
Format:Paperback
I love your book. It is so well written. As a person who has struggled with being stylish and knowing what looks best on me, I found this book easy to use and very informative. Infact, I order the Kindle version in addition to the paperback so that I can take you with me when I go shopping. I actually used your book in the mall two days ago and was amazed by how helpful you tips were. I think that anyone that cares about their image could benefit tremendously from this book. I highly recommend. BTW. I love the pictures. Beautiful book.
