    AH-mazing. I Die.

    If you're a fan of Rachel Zoe, this is a must have. And even if you're not, her quirky and to the point explanations of how to make the most of your stylistic ideas are excellent! She's funny, charming, and sweet; and she knows what she's talking about. While other How To Be Fashionable books describe how to subscribe to an idea or a character, Rachel tells you how to be a more fashionable you. Not only that, but how to give yourself a style. She doesn't preach and she doesn't boast, she allows you to look inside yourself and pull out your inner fashionista. It's bananas. You'll die!

    Loved it!

    I adore this book and read have re-read it several times. There's wonderful fashion advice along with a little escapism. You can translate her ideas and tips and fit them into any budget.

    A fun read, but nothing you've never heard before.

    If you've seen Rachel's show on Bravo, then you already know the basis of this book. It's mostly filled with her own personal style (vintage) and opinions. There are some guidelines on dressing for work, casual, travel, etc and a few designer notes, too, including DVF and Michael Kors.

    A little bit blah, a little bit fab

    While many of the pages are filled with details on Zoe's many trips to exotic places around the world simply to get a tan and some of the information her friends give would only work for the woman with a never ending shopping budget, there are some very helpful hints. She gives lists of the essential clothing items, make-up, and things to travel with that I completely agree with and that make sense. You do have to wad through many pages of talk about the good life but after reading it you do realize that you can make your life 'and fashion choices' better on a budget.

    Fun, but a bit dated

    This book was a light read with a few good tips, but a lot of the material is dated when you consider how fashion trends change. It did not meet my higher expectations.

    It's all about Rachel Zoe

    I was sooo disappointed in this book--had a hard time reading it all the way through. I have read more than 50 style books, but this book only tells you about Rachel Zoe and 'her' style, 'her' life style, 'her' friends' styles, ad naseum. Don't bother getting it!

    Recommended for anyone who's interested in Fashion...

    I usually do not even look at fashion books because I think they're...silly(for a lack of a better word), but reading this book was tre interesting! Style A to Zoe catches your attention from the beginning. It covers all aspects of Glam, and really helps women from all walks of life- from young adults to older moms. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who's interested in fashion period. There are lot's of fun pictures to look at to, for those that bored easily! (A!)

    A lot of useless information.

    This is one of the most useless fashion books out there. It talks practically nothing about fashion, rather than just Rachel Zoe going on and on about her glamourous life and glamourous job. I was so dissappointed. I couldn't find even one helpful note on fashion and all the pictures in the book were not fashion related, rather than just Rachel Zoe with her celebrity friends/clients (Mischa Barton, Lindsay Lohan, etc.). I do not recommend this book. It is one of the worst fashion related books out there.

    They should re-name this 'The fashonista bible'

    This book is fantastic! It's easy enough for beginners, but for us fashion worshippers its AMAZING..Usually I think books on style are silly and a bit too theoretical, but not this one. It's very informative, and there are great pictures inside for a little eye candy. An absolute must have. You won't be dissapointed.

    BEST FASHION BOOK EVER!!!

    I don't normally leave reviews, but this book just had to make me do so. It's fantastically written with lot's of information and beautiful photographs. The presentation of the book is worth the price alone. It's the best book on fashion I've ever seen put together.
