My wonderful readers, guess what? Another beautiful Monday and another beautiful giveaway! The people at Globe Pequot Press kindly send me a new style book named 'Shoestring Chic', both written and illustrated by the talented Kerrie Hess, a leading fashion illustrator. They also generously offered one of Mix And Chic readers an opportunity to win one, too. Kerrie has created displays for the department store chain Neiman Marcus and been commissioned by the luxury site Net-a-Porter.com. Her illustrations have also been featured in top magazines and on T-shirts, book covers, and cosmetic packages. You can visit her at www.kerriehess.com.
In Shoestring Chic, Kerrie Hess provides 101 tips on living the luxe life without spending a fortune and she also shows us where one can find a wedding dress in Paris for $100. Or have a Bergdorf Goodman experience for under a twenty and more! She also dishes out fabulous places, websites and insider tips on where to shop for great items on a budget in major cities!
Throughout the book, today's top designers like Kelly Wearstler, Kelly Hoppen and other stylish people chime in on how they define "chic" on a shoestring! Her book is entirely illustrated so you get both visual candy and valuable advice at the same time! Now, let's check out the preview of this stylish book!

She is incredibly talented in her ability to capture elegance with so very few brush strokes. There was a feature on her home office in our local Melbourne paper on the weekend. It was glamourous, just like her illustrations!
