Customer Reviews

My one and only T&S book. Worth a space on my shelf!
This is the only Trinny and Susannah book I have bought - an impulse buy - but I'm glad I took a chance. There's lots of practical advice delivered in a witty but unpretentious manner, and kudos to the two women for using their own bodies to display the how-to's and (more importantly) how-not-to's throughout. I've wasted too much money and time on magazines when really all I needed was this savvy, eye-opening and thoroughly enjoyable tome. Thanks T&S - next payday, I'm off down the shops with more back-up!

One book too many
Having found the previous two books by TV's fashion police useful, I was really disappointed with this. It's a typical example of a book too far. It's much longer than the others, but contains far less information, most of it recycled from the past two and presented in a less helpful or interesting way.

The book is overlong, padded out with irrelevant glossy photos and giant quotes. There's nothing in the book that couldn't be found in any woman's magazine, which would also be more up to date. If you want fashion advice then you'd be better off to buy the first two books. This one just isn't value for money.

A few flaws, but useful nonetheless
Although a few things seem to have been thrown in for padding (irritating supersized text is used in the introduction to every chapter, and the entire "No-Cost Wardrobe" chapter could be reduced from ten pages to one line - swap clothes with friends! Revolutionary), this book will nonetheless earn its keep on your shelf. There is an extremely useful and comprehensive section laying out how to combine different colours, which can really make a difference to the way you dress and help eliminate those frustrating 'nothing-to-wear' mornings. The chapter dealing with accessories is also particularly good - it boils down to a few simple pointers, but take them on board and you'll be surprised at what an effect they have. Personally I thought the beauty and make-up chapters were a bit unnecessary - Trinny and Susannah aren't exactly the first people who'd spring to mind if I wanted advice in that department - but they're solidly written and contain plenty of information and product recommendations. There's also a full chapter on dressing during pregnancy, and tips on looking your best in holiday photos. All in all, by no means perfect, but I find myself dipping into it an awful lot.
