Customer Reviews

Great all round tips and hints - I love this book!
Unlike T&S's other books which focus on dressing and grooming, this book goes into a bit more depth in that it contains suggestions for home made beauty treatments, making one's homelife more agreeable, holidays less stressful, shopping in the sales more fruitful, household chores more beneficial, even ways to keep children entertained on plane, train and car journeys but it also makes suggestions for improving one's inner self without having to shell out a fortune to do so. I've acted on a few of their tips and hope I'll be able to check out the restaurants and shops in cities like Paris, Venice, New York and London they mentioned as being worth a look. There still are tips on how to dress for one's shape so the ladies have not forgotten where they started.

Bingo!
Trinny and Suzannah have taken a lot of flak over the last year for their new ITV show. They're not marriage counsellors, as they freely admit, so getting couples to undress behind a see-through bedsheet is their way of getting people to confront their problems. The one where they had a really tall woman with straw hair who'd had an affair and made her little dinky husband cry was a classic example. Now the girls are back on their own patch, telling us what to wear and what not to wear (!) in this great book. Trinny and Suzannah have both had kids and marriage problems, so they know where they're coming from when they dish out the advice. They know that just because you're a single mum there's no reason to let yourself go. Last season's labels can be got for half price and no-one will notice with some minor adjustments and accessorizing! They're also very good at chic dressing for the larger lady. Fat people tend to get a raw deal in the fashion world - big tent dresses with gaudy patterns so they all look 'jolly' and everyone compliments them on not letting their weight get them down. Trinny and Suzannah push that aside and show that big girls can wear leggings and cut away tops too!

Not Just About Clothes
I didn't realise until I got this book that it's got much more than style advice. It covers all the events you might have to deal with throughout the year such as finding the right Christmas presents for people, packing for summer holidays, fending off colds, good places to go for mini breaks and so on. They also give lots of other advice, such as first aid, what to when your relationship gets in a rut and how to realise your dreams. It is interspersed with clothes and shopping hints and gives useful advice, much of it common sense but still good to have it there. They even tell you what/what not to wear to your own dinner party, so easily forgotten in the midst of kitchen frenzy. It's also got a very handy guide to the web with lots of sites to try out for more or less everything. It does seem to be mainly aimed at the busy working mum with young kids but I think there's lots there for everyone. If this kind of book appeals to you, then try 'The Shops' by India Knight which is another 'must read' if you love shopping for anything and everything.
