>With her “classic with a twist” sensibility, Michelle
Obama oozes chic! Mikki Taylor, one of the nation’s foremost
authorities on fashion, beauty, and style, has taken Mrs.
Obama as her muse, to write the book women who admire them
both have been waiting for, Commander in
Chic. The nation’s major networks,
radio stations, and newspapers call on Mikki Taylor not only
to discuss the “Obama look” and its feverish impact on
style, but to hear Taylor’s own smart advice on looking
polished and pulled together. She’s been privy to Obama’s
style philosophy as well as that of countless celebs through
her longtime role as beauty and cover director at Essence
magazine, where she collaborated with Obama’s team on
fashion and beauty choices for prime photo shoots for the
magazine. Now Taylor is sharing the keys to the Obama
look with her diary-like observations, tips, and
Mikki-isms (her short, ultra-clever style aphorisms)
for women everywhere. Mikki knows we all want to possess a
signature look and a wardrobe of bankable pieces that allow
us the kind of versatility where we never have to worry
about what to wear again! Consider Commander in Chic
as your personal style diary—one where you’ll find
everything you need to know to possess great style—simply,
effortlessly, and for keeps. Cover-to-cover, the book
is full of stunning photo-graphs that take the guesswork out
of what works. Every chapter in the book shares the kinds of
concrete information and inspiring style ideas that not only
make getting dressed a fabulous experience, but define what
will make you a woman to remember! Here is everything
you need to know about style—from your glossary of
high-performance hair products and “do how-to’s” to the best
makeup finds and techniques to what you need to know to grow
your nails long and strong to the most polished hues for all
skin tones. In “The Gam Slam,” Taylor tells you how to work
summer-pretty legs year-round—from how to keep them
even-toned and satiny smooth to vein-free. Mikki took
great care in talking to the experts about what we need to
know to manage our lives from the inside out—from our mental
and physical health and wellness to the importance of
self-nurturing. As a result, you’ll find guiding principles
on diet and exercise for the various stages of your
life—from age twenty and beyond. You’ll also find the
critical information you need to know to nourish your
well-being so you can continue to be the empowered woman you
are called to be. All in all, Commander in Chic
is a gold mine of information that will inspire you—from
head to toe, inside and out—on how to truly style, now and
for years to come.
