Fab Read: The Fashion File by Janie Bryant

Since Borders everywhere are going out of business, (boo!) I decided to stop by my local store a few weeks ago and pick up some deeply discounted books.
On a whim, I picked up Janie Bryant’s The Fashion File: Advice, Tips, and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men. Since she designs and styles all of the amazing outfits found on Mad Men, I knew Bryant had the fashion cred, but let me just tell you: this book exceeded my expectations and then some.
I expected The Fashion File to be just a typical coffee table book — you know, pretty to look at, not a lot of substance. However, I was surprised to learn that this book was the complete opposite: it’s thorough, creative and totally inspirational.
With those last few weeks of summer break dwindling down, this is the perfect book to read if you’re looking to reinvent your style for the upcoming school year, or just want an inspiring fashion-related book to add to your collection.
