Recommended Style eBooks

I'm constantly on the look out for makeover resources and products to help you develop your own look. What I've found, through my in-person image consulting services and my own experience, is that it's a journey rather than a destination.

The steps are...

1. Start with the style basics of good grooming (this includes personal hygiene, hair, and care of your clothes and accessories) understanding your best colors and dressing to flatter your body shape.
2. Intermediate style -- When you have these things mastered you can move on to discovering your style personality. Then use everything you now know to audit and plan a wardrobe to suit your lifestyle. And finally shop to your plan and budget to create an inspirational wardrobe.
3. Advanced style -- If you're interested, keep learning more about style to continue defining and refining your style.

Below you'll find the products and resources I recommend for improving various aspects of your appearance. I've personally reviewed each of the items below (even if I haven't yet got around to writing a review I have read or tried everything I recommend). A product or resource only makes it to this page if I think it adds something worth while for developing your look.
