        			&#x201C;Amanda Brooks is one of those rare birds&#x2014;perfectly imperfect, not overly considered, impossibly real and humble. While flipping through the pages of this book, I realized her style is just that: her style.&#x201D;&#x2014;Jenna Lyons&#x201C;Amanda Brooks is innately chic. Her new book is as smart and original as she is.&#x201D; &#x2014;Tory Burch&#x201C;Amanda Brooks is one of the best-dressed women I know, and she maintains a wonderful sense of humor about style. She understands the ins and outs of the fashion and the industry, yet doesn&#x2019;t let them dictate who she is. She&#x2019;s inspiring and unique, and I&#x2019;m so happy that she shares what she&#x2019;s learned in this book!&#x201D;&#x2014;Garance Dor&#xE9;&#x201C;For young women who want to work in the world of fashion and beauty, or anyone who simply just loves it, Amanda&#x2019;s book is the dream-come-true told with sweetness and honesty.&#x201D;&#x2014;Delia Ephron&#x201C;From the pages of Vogue to the front rows of Paris to her current country-girl home in rural England, Amanda Brooks&#x2019;s exciting life has encompassed the full sartorial spectrum. In Always Pack a Party Dress, clothes become the outer reflection of the private inner world, and her wise and practical meditations on style are really metaphors for how to live authentically and well.&#x201D;&#x2014;Amy Astley&#x201C;As someone who knows all too well the adrenaline-charged fashion scene from New York to Paris and beyond, as well as the simple joys of home and family life, I relished every page of Always Pack a Party Dress. Amanda beautifully untangles and analyzes all aspects of her twenty years in fashion, an act as thoughtful and generous as it is inspiring.&#x201D;&#x2014;Laura Bailey&#x201C;Amanda Brooks is the true American glamour girl! In her must-read book she offers candid style and career advice and, just as important, shows readers that a sense of humor and self-discovery is much more gratifying than striving for perfection.&#x201D;&#x2014;Diane von Furstenberg&#x201C;A fashion maven shares her secrets&#x2026;.[readers] will find much useful advice in this bright and breezy confection&#x2026;.Filled with tips on hair, makeup, nails, lips, shopping, packing, and smiling for photographs, this book will thrill readers for whom Christian Louboutin is a household god.&quot;&#x2014;Kirkus&#x201C;[T]his colorful, savvy volume covers material from why women should always know how to do their own hair to how to set up a consulting business.&#x201D;&#x2014;Women&apos;s Wear Daily
