From Book Blogs
The Fashion File is filled with beautifully designed clothes and amazing tips. What I liked most was the part about finding the perfect bra size, because so many women wear the wrong size. Another great piece shows you the ten different items every woman should have in her closet, which was interesting. This would make the perfect gift for the diva in your life.
