Great Gift Alert! Tomboy Style: Beyond the Boundaries of Fashion

Lizzie Garrett Mettler Takes A Fresh Look At Classic Style With Her New Book

Confidence, Rebellion, Adventure…Sexy. These are words that capture the warm-weather spirit of the most exciting springs and summers of my life. So, for me, fortunate timing for this new book, TOMBOY STYLE: BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF FASHION by Lister, Lizzie Garret Mettler, a freelance writer, LA Times contributor and Founder of a blog I love, Tomboy Style. Tomboy Style is channeled in fashion and punctuated in spirit.  Icons like Katharine Hepburn, Diane Keaton & Ali McGraw to more contemporary figures like Isabel Marant, Stella McCartney and of course, Lizzie herself, all capture this essence in their own, unique ways. Levis, Gucci drivers, army duffles, French Vogue, denim shirts, men’s watches, a white tee, stripes, a vintage Bronco Roadster…..a mood, a statement….femme without fuss….rugged elegance.  If this style speaks to you or conjures up images of someone you know, well…then, it’s a book you must have. Lizzie has captured the essence of a style that defined my childhood….for the girls [now women] that nailed it, it was effortless….they were incredible, and many are probably reading this now. Tomboy Style is a style I always admired…a style that still informs many of the choices I make today and Lizzie brings it to life in a way that is thoroughly fresh and extremely gift-worthy.  Published by Rizzoli and in pre-order now [available, April 3].  READ LIZZIE’S A-LIST
