StyLit: Eccentric Glamour

"Style + Lit(erature) = StyLit!"
Welcome to a new segment on Fashion Forward, StyLit, get it? Here I'll feature great fashion books and magazines and articles that are worth reading.

My latest fashionable read, Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fabulous You by Simon Doonan (who you may know as the witty and wisecracking British lad from Vh1's specials such as "I Love the '80s") is a guide, not only to clothing, but life. It teaches that thinking outside the box and being different and, well, eccentric is a fabulous thing. Bestselling author Doonan offers a refreshing take on today's "porno-chic" (of which he's totally against) and explains the three types of fashionable women. The book also features interviews with actresses Lucy Liu and Tilda Swinton; and two of my fave people- burlesque star Dita von Teese and interior designer Kelly Wearstler.
