From the Introduction
“Despite what a stack of beauty and fashion magazines has to say on
the subject, glamour is not acquired via the purchase of a big heap of this
season’s stuff. As long as you are interested in the subject matter (which is You Look-
ing Fabulous) and willing to invest a bit of time in self-analysis and learning new (quite fun) skills, you can look as lovely and polished as you please.” – Constance Dunn
