British lifestyle and fashion writer Jones (Kate: How To Dress Like a Style Icon) focuses on the fashion and beauty aesthetic of Breakfast at Tiffany’s (rather than its content) with tips for channeling the style, hair, or decor of Holly Golightly. Key takeaways include the importance of flexible wardrobe staples (little black dress, kitten heels), makeup suggestions that will help readers look effortlessly stylish, and thrifted and upcycled decor. Griotto’s soft-focus, color-washed illustrations depict women of varied skin tones and body types lounging in an oversized shirt, styling an updo, or making an entrance in long gloves and pearls.
VERDICT Fun and flirty, with a “you go, girl!” attitude, this title will let aspiring Hollys capture her vibe. A quick pick-me-up for the 646 section.
