January Book of the Month

So one of my goals for 2011 is to read one non-school related book a month to help me enjoy reading for fun again.  The book that I chose to read for the month was Fierce Style: How to be Your Most Fabulous Self by Christian Siriano from season four of Project Runway.  This is a great book of advise, tips and motivation to help individuals to be their most fabulous self - inside and out.

Siriano gives his perspective of what constitutes being fierce.  He provides a lot of things to see, do and purchase via his list of must haves, top tips and tricks, as well as lists of what not to do.  He has lots of tips and remarks from celebrities he's worked with on what they consider to be fabulous and fierce.  My favorite is from Whoopi - "...be comfortable.  When you're not comfortable, that's when you catch an attitude."  In addition to the great quotes some of the best advice I took away from the book was to find my own icon or fab diva that I want to be more like and just rock it.  After giving it some thought, I truly love the styles and looks of Chrisette Michele, America Ferrera, and Jazmine Sullivan.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is learning to love fashion and the power of looking your best self so you feel your best.  After reading this book, I am truly motivated to do some great things years and get some big accomplishments under my belt in 2011!
