Q- I wanted to know what are some great books to read when it comes to the fashion business and fashion styling.
A- Great question and since I buy pretty much every single fashion book that hits the shelves, I’ve got a few recommendations for you.image via smallshopstudio.com
This book rocks! It’s like a crash course in styling. There are great interviews, tips, and more. I recommend this book to all of my School of Style students.
My favorite part about this book is the extensive garment glossary. Must-know material for anyone who wants to work in fashion.
If you are into turning your fashion blog into a profitable career, this book is a great one to add to your collection.
I actually haven’t read this one but it looks really great. The reviews are fantastic and actually … I’m ordering it right now so I’ll have more of an opinion on it soon.
Teen Vogue happens to be my favorite of the Vogue family. This book takes you through the various careers available to you in the fashion industry.image via smallshopstudio.com

I very much want to thank you for inspiring people through your work, and specifically, young women. You very much did that for me. I am working hard to attend School of Styling: San Francisco this weekend. I pray there is still space! I will do my best to purchase the course by tomorrow. Again, thank you so much for your kind heart and inspiring spirit.
