Details:

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grace’s Guide and the host of The Grace Helbig Show on E! comes a beautifully illustrated, tongue-in-cheek book about style that lampoons fashion and beauty guides while offering practical advice in Grace Helbig’s trademark sweet and irreverent voice. It’s clear to see I’m a style icon; remember, you can’t spell icon without “con.” I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn’t suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department (I barely even shop in department stores). Instead this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only some of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including: -My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what’s actually in my makeup bag -All about BLTs and BFFS…that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends -The bad-hair-day character wheel -The Ten Commandments of online shopping -A handy flowchart to help you decide “Should I actually buy this?” -Red-carpet ridiculousness -Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you -And MORE! I’m not stylish—I’m self-aware. I’m not polished—I’m perceptive. I’m not trendy—but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, “style” is just a simple way of saying “I showered.”

Reviews:

“Grace embodies the first cardinal rule of style: don't take yourself too seriously. This book has heart and ha-ha's—two trends that never go out of style.” -- Sophia Amoruso, author of GIRLBOSS

“Grace Helbig doesn’t take fashion (or herself) too seriously, which is what makes her part-parody-part-style-self-help guide GRACE & STYLE as funny, relatable, and, well, awesome as she is.”

― Marie Claire

"YouTube’s 'awkward older sister' is ushering in a new era of female friendship and femininity." -- Buzzfeed

“For those who enjoy Helbig's sense of comedy, they are in for a great ride. A witty and entertaining jab at what's in vogue.”

― Kirkus Reviews

"Grace Helbig is my spirit animal." -- Jenny Han, author of To All the Boys I've Loved Before

Grace & Style introduction My eating disorder started during my senior year of high school. WHOA. I KNOW. WAY TO KICK THINGS OFF ON A FUN, LIGHTHEARTED NOTE, HELBIG. But let’s just go with it for a second. Because this book, this smattering of my thoughts on style and fashion and beauty, has been a really difficult thing for me to wrap my head around. I assumed it’d be easy to brain-barf some HILARIOUS feelings about tank tops and tube socks onto paper, but every time I tried to sit down to do it, I hit a wall. And then another wall. And another. Any countries out there looking to send a message to their neighbors and need help? Turns out I’m really great at putting up walls. HAHAHAHA, depressing sigh. Once I started investigating why I was having so much trouble writing, I realized that no matter how funny you try to make the concept of beauty, it can still ...
