Great book for someone interested in femininity and the modern woman!
I've been struggling to find some perspectives on how to marry aspects of traditional femininity with a personal feminism, and this book has a lot of that, thankfully.
Kimora has packed a lot of living and experiences into her 34 years on Earth, and she draws from those considerable experiences to give advice to young women on the myriad aspects of our lives. Included is fashion and beauty (obviously) advice, but this also great advice on nailing the job you want (coming from Kimora's perspective of business woman and employer), on caring for your health, etc.
What I found especially helpful and inspiring was what Kimora had to say about self-esteem and body image. As someone who has always felt like a misfit, partly because of my mixed-race background, I felt I really related to Kimora's story of being a tall, African-American/Asian girl misfit, cruelly called "Chinky Giraffe." Her understanding that her mixed heritage (and its unique features it gives her) are part of what makes her special and makes her who she is, was very encouraging.
I recommend this book, ladies!
