Hair:
7. Beachy waves are always sexy.
Makeup & Beauty:
12. Beauty products make the best presents. They seem incredibly personal, but they're not.
18. Self-tanner makes you look instantly thinner and well rested.
22. Pale nail polish lasts much longer.
Underwear:
28. Don't buy underwear that needs to be handwashed--inevitably you'll end up putting it in the washing machine and it'll get trashed.
New Clothes:
36. Looking for a dress when you actually need one will rarely lead to a successful find.
Black Tights: (I love that this is an entire section!)
39. Black opaque tights make everyone's legs look good.
Salespeople & Shopping:
54. Most useless advice from a salesperson: "You can wear it with jeans."
55. Things that look crappy on a hanger could look gorgeous once you put them on.
56. If something is expensive, leave it behind for 24 hours. If you're still obsessed with it the next day, buy it.
Color:
60. Black will always be the new black. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
Tailoring & Fit:
65. It's good to have a pair of jeans hemmed for flats and another pair hemmed for heels.
68. Your waist isn't where you think it is. It's about three inches higher.
Shoes, Bags and Little Leather Things:
73. If shoes are only marginally comfortable when you try them on in the store you can be sure they'll be excruciating on the street.
74. Always have two pairs of boots in your closet that aren't scuffed up: tall black ones and flat brown ones.
75. If you invest in a Chanel bag, you will carry it for the rest of your life.
79. In life you will need four bags: a big, slouchy weekend one; two good-looking but practical work ones; and a sleek evening one. Minimum.
Styling:
100. When all else fails, a skinny cardigan can pull any look together.
All I can say is these peeps def. know what they are talking about. Love it. Now I need to get my hands on a Chanel bag.
