Thumbs up Hi, it was a gift for my wife, she said its everything she expected and highly recommends it. Good luck!. Five Stars ginny quick classy read for stylish lifestyle. "Not what i was expecting." according to Heathermdavis. If you're looking for a book on what to purchase to have classic style this is not the book for you. It's a lot about the authors somewhat extraordinary life and her situations that lead her to where she is today. I was happy to see that she talked about spending more on quality then quantify, but do not feel that I learned anything new other than the authors life. Her pictures are great, and it makes for an easy read. But it's not a guide on obtaining classic style.
