Nice companion to 'The little black book of style' with a but - By: Rigoletto, 22 Oct 2008 
As someone suggested, don't take this to the letter, rather take it for inspiration. I enjoyed the historical description of each item though some info is not really accurate (Bardot does not wear any shoesin the mambo scene of 'And God created woman', she's barefeet!). This makes me skip back to the same entryin the little black book of style when she states referring to ballet flats 'introducedin France by Repetto, an American company that specializedin dance wear'. American? Absolutely not!
I'd make the remark I did for the LBB of Style, some of these classics may not be your classics. Owning these 100 items will not make you more stylish if to start with they don't suit you or your lifestyle. Up to you to figure out.
Overall it's a nice read still with the fabulous illustrations from Ruben Toledo.
Love this! - By: sainte-carmen, 10 Oct 2008 
If approachedin the right spirit, this book is both fun & inspiring. One should never treat these lists like diktats but rather suggestions. Garcia has a good eye, although some of her suggestions, i.e. the ll bean bag, seem better suited to an American audience. That said, it is a great way to think about fashion & one's closet. It inspired me to junk a few pieces & keep a few old favourites.
Great stuff for girls.
