Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style: Creating Iconic Looks and Making
Them Your Own

by Kim France and Andrea Linett

Lucky is a relatively new women's magazine (new when compared to Cosmo
or Vanity Fair) and its appeal, or so Jane tells me, is it not only
shows you how to dress a certain way, it can get you that look at a
discount, or for free. Thus, you can get luck by subscribing to
Lucky. Gimmicky, but it works. The magazine isn't all ads like
Vogue, it's actual information. And that's what this book sets out to
be. It doesn't just show you a rocker look, it breaks it down. Who
are the iconic female rockers, bombshells, American classics,
bohemians? Is this how you want to dress? Well, then these are the
styles of clothes you should look for. And they don't just show
Marilyn Monroe, Audrey and Katharine Hepburn, and Debbie Harry, they
bring these looks right up to the publishing date of October 2008. No
matter what age the female is who is getting this book they are bound
to appreciate it. Jane made me go through the whole thing because she
bought it for two of our nieces. It breaks down the styles to shoes
and accessories too. And Jane made a discovery about herself.
Everyone always tells her she looks like Marilyn Monroe. It's the
hair. Not a big surprise. And when she gets dressed up, that classic
Hollywood bombshell look is what she favors. There isn't a faux fur
or opera glove or feather that Jane doesn't have or want. However,
after reading this book herself, Jane found that her everyday look is
that of rock'n'roll chic. Well, I knew the bride when she used to
rock'n'roll. And she still does. Nothing will make her throw away
her leather belts, skinny jeans, ripped t-shirts and Chuck Taylors.
And now that a fashion book says it's OK, there's no stopping her.
