You don’t want to overglamorize it,” says I Love Your Style author Amanda Brooks of the winter wonderland her family has created in the forests of the Adirondack mountains. “It’s very rustic, so when it’s time to decorate for Christmas, you have to be really careful. “This year we will be spending two full weeks up here for Christmas-and we are thrilled.”
“I have been coming up here since I was five years old, and I absolutely love it during the holidays," Brooks says. In "I Love Your Style", Amanda helps women of all ages begin to cull through the frighteningly vast world of fashion, from its staid basics to its trendiest moments.Amanda Brooks on the porch of her family’s home in the Adirondacks, wearing a Thakoon fur vest, L.L Bean flannel shirt, and Sorel boots. With classic roots, bohemian flair, a taste for designer luxuries, and a love for bargains everywhere, Amanda has looked to every imaginable source of fashion inspiration - from high-fashion runways and magazines, to thrift stores and classic movies, to her neighbors in downtown New York and old family photo albums.
Smart, glamorous, media-savvy and remarkably practical, Amanda has spent her entire life constructing a unique, eclectic and intimately personal sense of style. The former muse and creative director for designer label Tuleh, and author of the blog "In Her Eyes" for "Men's Vogue" online, Amanda Brooks is a lifelong fashion chameleon with an unerring eye for the elements of personal style. With its focus on embracing creativity, personal history, originality, and the freedom to pick and choose aspects from any distinct 'style' - and with no 'rules', 'commandments', or lengthy lists of 'don'ts', "I Love Your Style" is a must-read for budding fashionistas, or anyone who finds herself frustrated in front of the mirror each morning.
