From the Sunday Times-bestselling author of Clothes...and Other Things That Matter and former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue comes an intriguing blend of memoir, anecdote, social observation and cultural history. 

Rooted in Alexandra's experiences as a child, a journalist, a young woman always looking for the great love, a mother and a Vogue magazine editor, join Alexandra Shulman as she explores the fabric of daily life alongside thoughts on style and the way we present ourselves - all described with her characteristic wit and incisiveness.
