June 05, 2008: I couldn't believe how fast this book went. It's large, but it takes me only a couple of days to get through it. The advice is great. Every woman should look her best all the time, and this book gives great advice on how to do that. However, I agree that photos of real women wearing the suggested items would have been more helpful.

April 23, 2007: Ths cumbersome book has some useful style tips, but the lack of photographic illustrations is a major hindrance. There are no 'real world' examples of the styles that Boston suggests. The drawn illustrations are cute, but they are not especially helpful. I would have rather seen real clothes on real women.
