I drove all around Toledo, OH looking for this book. Of course, Toledo makes anything trendy or cool as difficult to find as possible. Grace: A Memoir, is an autobiography by Grace Coddington, former model, creative director at Vogue, and all around fascinating person, that I’ve been dying to read over the break. After several stops, I FINALLY found it at a Barnes and Noble on the other end of town.

My take at a book review on a book I’ve yet to read: BRILLIANT!

…or really stupid!  :)

What I like so far:

Orange:

The cover of this book is orange and red. It pops! Who doesn’t love orange?

Strong Redheaded Women:

There aren’t that many that I can recall, except maybe Kathy Griffin (eek)! I like that Grace has a strong opinion. She seems pretty unique.

Sketches:

Each chapter and the inside of the cover is decorated with personal sketches by Grace. They are adorable!

Spreads:

I’ve always been obsessed with Grace’s styling. Her spreads tell an entire story in just one image. It reminds me of good choreography, where you can understand a story just by movement and music.

The name:

Obviously, I’m biased to the name. I have one strong-minded thing we call Grace living with me at the moment. Love Ya SIS!

Last year on this date: It’s been fun for me to look back and compare the changes in my life from this time last year.
