    Synopsis

    On the heels of the fabulously successful Lucky Shopping Manual comes the complete handbook for creating a great look based on ten iconic styles —packed with more than 450 color images.

    With a circulation of 1.1 million, Lucky magazine has taken America's most dedicated shoppers by storm, offering real-world advice and first-rate finds. Now the Lucky experts show how to put it all together in an inspiring collection of ideas that go beyond the basics and yield endless innovation for year-round reinvention.

    Based on the techniques used by fashion designers for years, The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style features ten versatile archetypes that can be customized to fit varying moods, personalities, and body types. Applying these enduring styles to a dazzling spectrum of possibilities, The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style deconstructs each look, with components including clothes, shoes, accessories, patterns, and colors. Just as designers use swatches and images to spark creativity, readers will have access to hundreds of photographs from style setters. Must-haves for every closet, foolproof instructions, profiles of real-life Lucky Girls, and money-saving Lucky Breaks make this the indispensable resource for complete chic.

    October 17, 2008: The book's title really says it all. It features chapters on 10 different iconic styles, Euro Chic, California Casual, Rock and Roll, Posh Eclectic, Mod, American Classic, Bombshell, Bohemian, Arty Slick, and Gamine plus a chapter at the end that has outfits that are combinations of styles. The chapters start out by giving a list of pieces the authors feel are essential to that look, then they give advice on how to wear a few of them. Each chapter also includes the 'putting it together' page that gives outfits featuring the essentials from that style, the 'all year long' page which gives an outfit for each season using one of the essential pieces from that look, and the 'one piece two ways' page which I think is self explanatory. My favorite new feature is the list of stores and e-commerce sites in each chapter. I wouldn?t recommend this book if you are brand new to fashion as it doesn't have any fit or shape flattery information. However, if you loved the first one or want to enhance and expand on your look this is a great book. I gave it four stars because I would have liked the combining styles section to be bigger as that's what I think most women do.
