The Truth about Style

I just finished the BEST fashion book. I am not usually so passionate about books on style and fashion but The Truth about Style by Stacy London is much more than that. You may already be familiar with Stacy as she is the host of TLC's What Not to Wear. If you have seen the show you know there is some psychoanalyzing that is done to figure out how to help women out of their fashion ruts. In The Truth About Style, Stacy turns that sharp analyzing eye on herself. She reveals how she was affected by a devastating case of psoriasis that started when she was only 4 years old. Imagine how it felt to be a young girl who finds herself alienated by a very visible disease at a time when children can be very cruel. Stacy also talks about being affected by anorexia, and how it feels to be a single, childless woman at her age. This book is by turns touching, humorous, illuminating, inspiring, and fascinating
