Quality, Taste and Style

I am totally in Love with this new book!

Tim Gunn's, A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style. Alright.. If you have no idea who Tim Gunn is, please do yourself a favour and go find out.

You know how books that start with "A guide" turn out to be some boring, self help book that honestly doesn't ever give you a light bulb moment. BUT this book.. Is leagues ahead of the rest. His writing is impeccable, his book, beautifully crafted, and he is, without a doubt, one of THE best fashion educators!

Anyway.. There were two quotes that I so absolutely adored when i read this book..

First would be.. "Fashion you can buy, Style you must possess."

and the other by Oscar Wilde. (If you don't know who this is, go ahead.. Kill yourself)

"It's only shallow people who DO NOT judge by appearances. True mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible."

I left that as my MSN nick, and a friend of mine had a "discussion" about it with me, That people who judge are deeper in thought and that there are exceptions. I was so close to saying.. Dude.. Nothing is absolute man! but anyway.. Don't take that quote out of context and read.. For goodness sake.. READ the whole sentence!

But then again, i believe my darlings who read my posts have a certain level of understanding and beyond reasonable doubt, have decent linguistic abilities.

Another example would be when I wrote.. "Work is for people who don't play golf" and i got tonnes of questions about why people who golf don't have to work. Seriously, Brains were made for a purpose.. like seriously, think and work those cerebral juices before asking a question!

Anyway.. Tim Gunn's book is a triple MUST READ, whether or not you need a guide to Quality, Taste and Style!
