The incredibly popular Daily Mail column, 'Confessions of a Fashionista', feeds its hungry readers snippets of a life in the glittering yet deranged world of fashion. Now its anonymous author reveals both her identity and the true story of her giddyingly glamorous time in the style industry, with insider gossip on the people who populate it. Propelled by a painful end to a relationship and determined to prove her ex wrong for breaking up with her, our Fashionista lands a place on the Harrods Graduate Scheme. A complete outsider to the fashion world, she sets out on a wing and a pair of Guccis, and finds herself in a whirlwind of couture and craziness. Along the way she learns how to stay sane in a world where hairdressers have egos as big as their clients' bouffants, where dogs fly business class, and if you're eating carbs it can only be because you're pregnant. Confessions of a Fashionista is a book for anyone who's ever been an outsider, for anyone who's ever had a relationship end badly and thought they'd never find true love, and for anyone who thinks that cakes were made to be eaten, not sniffed. By turns hilarious, sad, thrilling, romantic and fun, it is the It book for fashionistas everywhere.
Teaches you how to use fashion as a magical tool to amplify your beauty and create the destiny you've always imagined. This title shows you how to select clothes, shoes, jewellery, and other accessories that can help you look and feel your best and manifest positive life changes.

A fashionista is a girl who always looks current and cutting edge, even when her clothes are vintage 1975. A fashionista can tell her Pucci from her Gucci and her Blahniks from her Choos, but she’s as comfortable in Kmart as she is in Chanel. She wears what she likes and always looks fantastic. She’s a clothing chameleon: a sharp tweed suit and ladylike driving gloves one moment, a punk rock T-shirt and studded belt the next. She’s a gypsy, a princess, and a diva. She’s fashion-forward, shopping-addicted, and full of fun. And you can be her, no matter your size, style, or budget. Authors Melissa de la Cruz and Karen Robinovitz are fashionistas who share a love for impractical shoes, small dogs that fit in designer handbags, and wearing white after Labor Day. They eat, sleep, and breathe fashion. And they’ll teach you how to • Make a whole new wardrobe out of the awful duds that lurk in the back of your closet • Use the words “postmodern” and “ironic” to fake your way through pseudo-intellectual cocktail conversation (really–it’s easy, and so postmodern and ironic!) • Score big with chic and cheap finds at thrift stores, consignment shops, and discount designer outlets • Live like a socialite on a shoestring budget In two weeks or less, you’ll be living the lush life, from the brim of your Eugenia Kim fedora to the tip of your pointy Christian Louboutin pumps!
Did she just sign up for the biggest mistake of her life? Fashion School should be glamorous but why does Avalon feel like she just stepped into Hell? Having to be a spy for her coven might have something to do with it. Avalon thought she was going to ace fashion school already knowing how to sew her own clothes. When she finds out which classes she'll be taking, there's not a stitch of glam on her schedule. If she wasn’t there to help the Twelfth Order and her coven, she would walk right out the door. After all, she thought draping was what you do when you hang curtains, not a difficult skill she needs to learn to make Oscar worthy gowns. Luckily a fellow student takes her under his talented wing. Without using magic, Avalon just might make it through school and not break her coven vow. She soon realizes her teachers are the toughest she’s ever had, and one might be working for the dark elves. The talents she used to win over everyone at Woodbridge Academy have no effect. Her dream of straight A’s seems impossible without the help of conjuring spells. In fact, they are even harder on her than the other students. Does the school know the real reason why she is there? Could her class finals be the end of her too?
