"Chanel: The Vocabulary of Style," "Harper's Bazaar: Greatest Hits," and "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" are among the latest fashion books to watch, according to one online style network. "The DivaGirl's Guide to Style and Self-Respect" also made this elite list, stating: "In our recent 'conversations' about Toddlers & Tiaras, preteen plastic surgery, and porn star fashion for young girls, this book by Cheryl Ann Wadlington and Sonya Beard is a must get to help girls find their truthful fashion as style sensibilities without trading on their sexuality or self-esteem."
