Cupcakes and Cashmere: A Guide for Defining Your Style, Reinventing Your Space, and Entertaining with Ease

I very much love this book and the blog. I read the reviews before buying the book and was very surprised. After finally purchasing it and reading it, I came to a decision that it's a "coffee table" book. Some of her posts are in this book, but not all. It's nice guide to have around when you're stuck staring at your wardrobe with no creativity in your head. Some of the other reviews said that it seemed too preteenish/teenish. I think that it's a book designed for a younger crowd. But, women out there can absolutely use this as a guide to satisify their mature tastes in the work world and social scence. It's a sweet DIY, fashion, food, and home book that definetly holds newer, fresher ideas. I have to say, great job Emily Schuman.

Disappointing

if you read the blog, you will be very disappointed. this is a small book, a rehash of the blog. the content looks dated- even the makeup and styles she chose to feature look dated!!! half the recipes are already up on the blog. it lacks humor and style, its just dull. miss.

Jumping the Shark

I've loved the C&C blog and have read it for a long time, but this was not what I was expecting for her book. Unfortunately, the shallow copy in the book reflects the shift in her blog posts, which have become increasingly short and less interesting. I really wanted to like this book, but it was made up of most of the pieces of her blog. Read the blog, don't buy the book!

Although its not an expensive book, still not worth the money. This book is tiny - maybe 8"x8" at the most. Reads like it was written for a preteen. Boring, bland, childish.

Don't waste your money on the book, just read the free blog. No

Don't waste your money on the book, just read the free blog. No original content; this blogger needs to learn how to be more daring, less self-absorbed, more creative and not be fooled by the hundreds of "positive comments" on her blog. If her blog details what inspires her, this book was her chance to show her readers what comes next, who she is, what her adaptations/inventions/creations. Now I'm starting to doubt her content choices on her daily blog; it seems readers were hoping for that next level...
