TFG Exclusive: Book of the Month

With all the flurry of fashion season, you didn't think we would forget our September pick for book of the month, did you? Courtesy of my gem of a fiancé who got a copy for me as a spontaneous gift, Karen Karbo's The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman was a light, funny, yet engaging read that not only provides insights into the complex life of the famous designer herself, but also offers life lessons for the complex life of any woman. Karbo took Chanel's personal philosophies and history and weaved them into 12 important themes organized into individual chapters in which all women can find pearls of wisdom, be it style and self-invention or money and femininity.

If you're like me and have already read one too many biographies on Coco Chanel, you'll still find Karbo's wit and unique perspective both refreshing and insightful. And if you haven't read any, you'll not only learn a lot about the iconic designer herself, but maybe even a thing or two about yourself. To get a copy of the book, click here.
