This is definitely worth reading. The basic essential in fashion doesn't need to be flashy and all. This basics is a must in every girl's wardrobe. Simple yet elegant and classy. I had so much fun reading this and let this information stick with me. Being fashionable doesn't mean you have to be so much bongga and flashy, this book helps you to be simple and yet elegant without junking up your self just to be noticed or whatever. Keep it plain and simple like this ten essentials.
This book is very informative and helpful. So go get yourself some plain white tees, jeans, shorts etc. and strut your way to the world. Less is more I guess.

<3 it! Just a reminder for us girls to invest in basics that can survive the needs of time and get us through for years. With all the different fashion and trends going on right now, its good to take a look back at must haves in our closet that we can wear a million of times without someone noticing it (shhhhhhhhhhhh)! We can also play up with various moods in these basics. Now i dont have to search the net! Heres StyLized! :)

This was written by a popular Philippine stylist who seems to know what she's talking about and has numerous connections/ friends in the entertainment industry to model for her in her book. I've heard of her, but did not really know her. This book was a quick read on wardrobe staples with some know 'how to's' with styling everyday to pm wear.

A must have for fashionistas and for those who aren't! This book can guide you in creating your style, but reminding you that basics are classics that won't go out of style.

Just bought this on a whim but it has proven to be interesting. The blurb’s telling the truth, it’s a helpful and concise guide to the basics of good fashion.

The best thing about this book was the illustrations! The sketches made for a great breather on an otherwise text-heavy book.
Other than that, I also liked how Liz Uy went in to detail in selecting her 10 basic essentials that should be in every woman's closet. I thought that the sections where she went over different scenarios by mixing and matching trendy pieces with the basics was well though out as well.
My one comment about this book though is that while being really attentive to detail, it totally missed discussing a big chunk in this book's demographic (ages 20-50 women): plus-sized women. Most sections only showed pairings for petite/small to medium frames and particularly left out the body types that lean towards the heavy side. I got really mad when I got to the part where the book illustrated the "right jeans" for every body type and lo and behold, the sketches all look like slight, tall women with really small waists.
Anyway, would I recommend it to others? Sure, but with reservations. I think it's a good book and a great starting point for fashion newbies as it gave great style advice. I was just a bit disheartened that the suggestions and tips in the book are limited to an audience that have small to medium body frames.

For a girl who used to just pick out whatever's in her closet and go, I never really thought I'd find this book useful but boy was I wrong. Liz Uy's StyLIZed is like the ten commandments of fashion. She cataloged 10 common closet pieces and styled it in multiple ways (some I still couldn't fathom). My personal favorite: Chapter 1. It's such a great how-to book and it makes you feel confident. Empowered even. There's nothing better than dressing up like it's your last day. Grab your copy and get styLIZed!

Learning the basics into clothing, tips and tricks to fashion world, and adding your personal style is what I have learned in Liz Uy’s book! :D
I am in my 20’s, and dressing up is still experimental. But I have known that being comfortable with whatever you wear is the number one rule in knowing your style and second is being confident to pull it off altogether. ;)

I found this book very insightful. The fashion tips here are nothing original but they were interlaced (beautifully, if I might add) to inspire you to bring out your own style. I got a lot of pretty ideas about mixing-and-matching from this book and I find myself scanning the pages again from time-to-time to find new inspiration. Props to Liz Uy and the team!

All the wardrobe staples every girl's got to have in her closet and how to properly dress them in every occasion. It's good to know I already have all the ten classic pieces listed in the book but I must invest more. You need not follow every fashion trend that's hot at the moment, always go for what suits you best!

I personally think this book is a must have for all the girls who love to dress up. A lot of tips were given and there were a tad bit of fashion history that I enjoyed reading. The style essentials that was introduced were also easy to re-make. Though I can't help but compare it to Nina Garcia's The Little Black Book of Style, it's similar yet it's different so it's still worth having/reading.

Perfect fashion book for fashion noobs and for people with limited budget. I love how Liz Uy turned 10 style staples in more ways than one, and all the ways of reviving old clothes. Plus points for the Toni G., Georgina Wilson and Bianca Gonzales features. I love it!

Such an easy read but I found it to be inspiring because I've always believed that fashion is art and styling is an art, too. Plus, it's like a magazine in book form, which is cool because I have this obsession with magazines. I have to admit, I wanna read more from Liz. *clap clap*

An interesting read for a fashion illiterate like me. I don't necessarily like her mixing style, however her ideas on basic must-have items, tips and fashion terminologies really drew me in and made me want to learn more about this sophisticated thing called fashion.

The book was visual with many images to guide the reader. I appreciate the mix and match and add-on tips that go with each piece of apparel (e.g. undergarments for white t-shirts). I would appreciate if it some outfits were more practical and approachable to the middle class.
