Hello friends! So I recently finished the book Always Pack a Party Dress By Amanda Brooks and I have to say I was absolutely obsessed with it. I first picked it up at a bookstore in Australia and immediately ordered it online. This book gives you an inside look into Brooks' Life as a creative director in the fashion world. She gives you life and business advice by sharing some of her crazy experiences as an young intern, as she attends Met Balls, as she struggles balancing fashion week and being a mom, and as the head Director at Barney's. Each chapter has fun creative lesson she has learned (like to always pack a party dress) and you can read them independently or read the book cover to cover, (like I did.) For any fashion lover out there I totally recommend reading this book. She's a total girl boss, and she has some really interesting things to say. I really liked hearing her look at the business side of Fashion, and some of the values she has excepted because of it. She's a smart cookie, and as soon as I finished the this, I ordered her other book. I was sad when I finished it, but now it's sits as one of my coffee table books for guests to flip through when they come over.
xx,
alana
