Grace & Style

The Art of Pretending You Have It

De: Grace Helbig

Narrado por: Grace Helbig

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grace’s Guide, comedian, and YouTube personality comes a beautifully illustrated, tongue-in-cheek book about style that lampoons fashion and beauty guides while offering practical advice in Grace Helbig’s trademark sweet and irreverent voice.

It’s clear to see I’m a style icon; remember, you can’t spell icon without “con.”

I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn’t suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department (I barely even shop in department stores). Instead this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only some of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including:

-My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what’s actually in my makeup bag
-All about BLTs and BFFS…that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends
-The bad-hair-day character wheel
-The Ten Commandments of online shopping
-A handy flowchart to help you decide “Should I actually buy this?”
-Red-carpet ridiculousness
-Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you
-And MORE!

I’m not stylish—I’m self-aware. I’m not polished—I’m perceptive. I’m not trendy—but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, “style” is just a simple way of saying “I showered.”

No sweat listening

Please write a sequel about what happens to Sweat and Rees after they leave the MOA.

As always, Grace is hilarious and poignant. She balances sensitive subjects and ludicrous ones in a...dare I say...meta portrayal of our culture's obsession with style.

I'm into it.

Fun and hdlpful

Like having a conversation with a friend while organizing your closet. Keep or toss? Fun.

Surprisingly Good

I love Grace Helbig, but I was very nervous going into this. A style guide seemed very out of my realm, especially as a guy, but this book has plenty to offer other than her tongue in cheek style tips.

I love this almost as much as I love Grace

I have LOVED and admired Grace for some time now, and this book was so intimate yet hilariously awkward that I just can't help but smile when I listen.

the funny keeps coming from the heart

I really enjoyed the awkward humor and truly creative style guide. grace is a self-deprecating delight. who knew I could care about sweat pants.

Very Disappointed.

This book is 10% interesting personal stories; 90% fake fashion advice and nonsense. Not funny and not worth the four hours of my life. I wish this book had a purpose.

Not the worst

Actually the exact opposite! Really enjoyed the sweatpants diary. That's some imagination you've got there!

Witty, Engaging, and Classic

Just like Grace Helbig herself, this guide is full of witticisms, humor, and life lessons fun for all. I thoroughly enjoyed this book just like her first.

amazing!

I really liked the story , Grace is an amazing narrator! I hope she will write more books :)

Life changing.

I've never worn clothing before, but after listening to this book I'm going to give it a try!
