Win a copy of Nina Garcia’s newest book!

By on August 18, 2010 in Celebrities, Clothes, Fashion

The other day I wrote about having gotten to take a sneak peek at Nina Garcia’s latest book, Nina Garcia’s Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion and how it doesn’t dissapoint (much like the editor’s own look each and every day, if you ask me!)

Now that it has hit shelves, it is easily attainable, but we wanted to give a copy to one of our lovely readers and take the whole go-to-amazon-or-your-nearest-book store out of the equation.

The book is just as good as her previous ones and this time surrounds offering practical advice for every occassion you may find yourself in, from what to wear on a blind date or to a big meeting and what to wear on errands and what to wear when traveling. Nina details how to dress for the right audience and also what rules to break. All in all, another great style book to add to your collection!

Here’s the skinny on how to enter to win a copy of Nina’s book:

Head to WIT & Whimsy’s Facebook page, “Like” the page and then leave a comment on what occassion you’d love to have Nina help you dress for. Have a wedding coming up you need a fabulous dress for? Big presentation at work? Cocktail hour? Anything goes!

Yep, it’s that easy! I can’t wait to see what you all have to say. And if you don’t already, follow WIT & Whimsy on Twitter.

Note: One entry per person. All entries must be made prior to Sunday, August 22nd at 12:01 a.m. PST. One winner will be selected at random and announced the week of August 23rd. Please note this giveaway is for U.S. residents only.

Good Luck!

Nina Garcia’s Look Book doesn’t disapoint

By on August 13, 2010 in Books, Celebrities, Fashion, Home, Shopping, Style

Nina Garcia is a household name when it comes to fashion as style director at Marie Claire and longtime Project Runway judge, and now she has released her fourth book: Nina Garcia’s Look Book, What to Wear for Every Occasion.

Already owning three of Nina’s previous books (and having a high opinion of her advice from The One Hundred and The Style Strategy), I was glad to be able to get an advance copy and I can tell you this book is just as good as the others.

Offering practical advice for every occassion you may find yourself in, from what to wear on a blind date or to a big meeting and what to wear on errands and what to wear when traveling, Ms. Garcia details how to dress for the right audience and also what rules to break.

The book is sprinkled with wise words from other fashion icons and designers and also includes styling tips for your hair and even bits of lifestyle advice.

Unlike the designers that grace her wardrobe, Nina’s book is totally affordable on Amazon at $16.

The Netflix of reading?

The Netflix of reading?

By on December 2, 2009 in Books

We fashionistas and beauty mavens have had a great year of fun reads including books by Nina Garcia (whom we love) and Chelsea Handler’s hilarious and TMI reads.

A service we just learned about, BookSwim functions as the Netflix of books or an electronic version of a library that lets you check out books, read them & then send them back. Ah, we love such smart little services.

And get this: for the holidays, BookSwim is offering $10 gift certificates to everyone to get them started with the service. You can even print as many $10 gift certificates as you’d like to insert into a card or you can email them to a friend.

And our favorite part of the service? Free shipping on all your rentals.
