Want to know why the soles of Christian Luoboutin's beautiful shoes are always crimson red? Ever wondered what Britartist Tracey Emin collects? Going to London, Paris, New York and need to know what prefumes, trinkets and treats to try out and bring home so that you can relive your trip and share the world with your family and friends? Perhaps you have a room to decorate and want to put up - and customize - a wall that will give you a daily feelgood feeling? Still searching for the best - fitting jeans, the snuggliest duvet, that awesome movie to watch while you work at home on a day off of work or fancy buying a neat piece of street art?

Not only does The Goddess Guide, written by worldwide coolhunter Gisèle Scanlon contain all of the answers to the previous questions, but it's also beautiful to hold and own. The cover is a collection of Gisèle's favourite things experienced in her travels put together in a lush velvet rich flock by her photographer coolhunting partner. Inside this eclectic homemade handbook is another beautiful visual treat, each chapter heading has been embroidered by the Queen of England's embroiderery house and each page is completely original and individually scrapbooked and handmade with layers of illustration, photography and exquisite tips. The Goddess Guide also contains handwritten letters from cool industry insiders as varied as Nylon magazine editor Marvin Scott Jarrett and New York fashion designer Narciso Rodriquez.

From getting the perfect Hollywood smile from world renowned experts Marc Lowenburg and Gregg Lituchy in New York to booking the best hotel bed and seeing Christian Louboutin's Paris to obtaining those perfectly sculpted arms, The Goddess Guide has it all.

Summary: Goddess Hints Sublime!
Comment: Even though I am on the other side of the world to this author I can easily use many of her useful suggestions and if I should get to some of the spots she recommends....travel being a business and personal pastime that I enjoy from time to time, then I will surely look for some of these haunts.

There is plenty to occupy a goddess at bedtime in here!

Summary: Great reference but probably more attractive to younger Goddesses
Comment: This book almost has multiple personalities. The outside is befitting a Goddess with it's fuschia cover adorned w/black velvet cutouts. The inside is like a full color magazine with thicker pages. Christian Louboutin is interviewed, handbag brands like Chanel, Hermes, Gucci etc are featured, There's even a picture of Chanel's Cruir de Russie Parfum featured in the book. However, the layout of the book is almost -- college-student-esque -- not in an amateur way but in a sort of Urban Outfitters/Bust Magazine almost 90's grunge feel -- plus it has advice on clubbing. For a cover that was so elegant, I would have expected more of a Jackie-O meets Audrey meets Marilyn sort of feel to it. Also, be aware that if you live in the U.S. the book is written from a very U.K. perspective. The advice is certainly very good. It even gives you websites to check out. Very useful -- Not all of the advice is timeless & certainly some of the brand names & websites will no longer be in existence with time.

Summary: Gen move over, make way for Gisele
Comment: I know they say never judge a book by its cover, but this book's cover in only a small indication of the wonders to come! This would have to be my #1 choice for the gift to give to those girls turning 21, or any age really. There are little gems in this book, and I now wonder how I got by with out knowing them. I believe this may be the modern version of A Guide to Elegance. A wonderful read and something pretty for the bookcase!

Summary: Amazing little treasure full of secret finds
Comment: I saw this book in Elle magazine last month and wanted it immediately. It's too cute and very beautifully presented inside. Very different to any other style book I've read before because the author asks some great questions of celebrity fashion designers and beauty gurus and they reply with so many useful answers. In their replies they reveal their favourite books, their favourite perfumes, smells and the names of their favourite secret places. It's more like a style diary with tried and tested fashion, beauty, food and shopping secrets. I especially was blown away by Linda Evangalistas celebrity trainer David Kirsch helping her reach her healthy body weight and Evangalista training right next to her. Judging from the author's pictures in the book she isn't one of those size zero skinnies either. There's no self-importance in this book, it's just very laid back and cool. It's put together like a scrapbook containing beautiful little things that she has collected from all the cities that she visited and I particularly love it when she goes to Paris to meet shoe designer Christian Louboutin. (The modern woman's Blahnik if you ask me.) It is a magnificently researched down to the most secret addresses in New York, London and Paris and so many useful websites. For me the best pages are on perfume, denim and coat shopping, the writing in the opening of each chapter is also nothing short of magical. She offers beautiful advice for the 21 Century woman, very different from any magazine I have read except perhaps Oprah's O. I hope that the next Goddess Guide will appear soon, it's better to me than Sex & The City!
