Review

Lauren Conrad, author of the New York Times bestsellers L.A. Candy and Sweet Little Lies; Sugar and Spice and Lauren Conrad Style
“Fashion is such a big part of my life. But growing up in Laguna, I always dressed very plain—just tanks, jeans, and flip-flops. Seventeen’s Ultimate Guide to Style is exactly the kind of book I would have loved to have back then—there’s so much good style advice and so many great outfit ideas!”

Miranda Cosgrove
“I love to mix styles—some days I like to wear edgier things, some days I wear really girly stuff. That’s why Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style is so great—there’s a fashion vibe in here for everyone!”

Tyra Banks
"I started out as a model in Seventeen! I love this book because I think it's so important to have your own sense of style-and to celebrate your beauty inside and out!"

Kirkus Reviews, April 15, 2011
A wealth of attractively-packaged information for fashion-conscious girls with some money to spend. (Nonfiction. 12-18)

Emili Vesilind, Los Angeles Times All The Rage blog
“…we sort of wish we'd had a guide even half as helpful when we were style neophytes.”

teenspace/Cinncinnati Library
“Covering a broad range of looks, such as girly, glam, sporty and artsy, there is something here for every fashion passion. Whether you are thinking about trying out a whole new persona, or just want to refine your own already-stylish self, this fun, creative voyage across the style spectrum will give a budding fashionista a lot to think about.”

Pittsburgh Tribune, 7/1/11
“Sure to become the fashion and beauty bible for teen girls everywhere.”

HelenbFree/Blogspot
“It's quickly becoming an essential read for anyone interested in fashion…The very first time I read this book, I was so excited that I whizzed through it from beginning to end…The must-haves sections are my favorites.  They're especially useful if you're trying to streamline your closet, or wanting to buy just a few new items.  The book also provides ideas on what to wear with each must-have item… It's a great read.  And thanks to Ann Shoket and the editors of Seventeen, with the Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style by my side, I'm set for a fashion revolution!”

5.0 out of 5 stars Fashion Inspiration! July 8, 2011

By vivalavalx3

Format:Paperback

I am just going to start off by saying that the Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style book is amazing! I seriously wish I had this book in High School, it is like a fashion bible. This book will help me so much when I do not know what to wear, it will be my source of inspiration. I honestly cannot rave enough about this book. This book is filled with tips and tricks to guide every girl towards finding her own style. If you are ever feeling skeptical about your style, I suggest that you check this book out. Seventeen Magazine has always made it their mission to teach young girls that self-assurance is key, and this book is another way of teaching girls how to be confident and fashionable at the same time! If you do not own a copy, I definitely recommend you get one!
