Gok Won Work Your Wardrobe
A fun and sassy look at fashion from the Queen Gok himself. I recommend this for those of all ages; he discusses in depth different cuts of jeans, blazers to suit which body type etc, and really teaches how to dress for your body. While some of the outfits are not my style, this book is very useful, and reflects Gok's cheerful personality.

Lauren Conrad Beauty
A must have for all makeup lovers, or those who want to learn more about the art of makeup application. She also discusses other aspects such as skin care and hair care, and lists certain ingredients to avoid when shopping for products. This one is my makeup bible as I learnt a large portion of my makeup skills from here, and makes the perfect gift.

Lauren Conrad Style
Another fantastic book by Lauren, this one's about fashion. She discusses every thing from her key pieces, travelling essentials and go-to lists for any holiday occasion, work/ school appropriate outfits, and her makeup tips (though Lauren Conrad Beauty is far more in depth). I love Lauren's effortless, classic style, and this one makes for another fantastic gift to any fashion loving friend.

#GIRLBOSS 
A quirky and insightful look at Sophia Amoruso, Nasty Gal founder and CEO, journey to becoming a enormously successful business woman in the fashion retail industry. She gives worthwhile tips and words of wisdom surrounding becoming your own "Girl Boss" in business.

Celebrity Street Style: The Best Of The Best

Hi all! Today is a visual blog post, where I show you some of the most fashionable celebrities in my opinion. Any one can look gorgeous in a Dior floor length gown, chosen by stylists, but when it comes to street style, celebrities are having to style themselves, and that's when you discover those true fashonistas! Here I have narrowed it down to 3 stylish celebrity babes, and hopefully you can gather some inspiration for outfits of your own! If you like this post, I can blog more about celebrity street style! Leave a comment below telling me your favorite fashionistas, and if you have a blog, leave it down below so i can return the favor.

love you all!

RACHEL BILSON

Rachel's style is effortless and unpredictable (in a good way, that is). One day, she will be rocking a leather biker jacket and trendy scarf, the next a soft blouse and polished jeans. She is fearless, and I applaud her for that! Blazers, scarfs, sunnies and a killer pair of jeans are essential for replicating this effortless style.




LAUREN CONRAD

Lauren Conrad has killer style, and has a book to prove it! Her street style is casual and classic, and reasonably easy to recreate! To achieve her look gravitate towards neutral colors: look for boots, jeans, and white shirts, and over sized sweaters, however since these are staples you probably have many of these things already (and if you don't, go to the store now)!




BLAKE LIVELY

Blake Lively's style is very glamorous and... expensive (thus making it harder to recreate). She pays alot of attention to the texture of an outfit, and loves to layer. To steal Blake's style, go for leather jackets, layering pieces, and neutral toned scarfs.
