Hilarious, engaging and wonderful, this is the book for anyone who wants to live their life with unabashed faith in their personal style.
Slipping into drop crotch shorts and a boxed sequin blazer in the dressing room of Topshop in downtown Manhattan, a broken-hearted Leandra Medine had an epiphany. Looking in the mirror, she suddenly realised she didn t have a boyfriend because of the way she dressed. And the more she thought about it, the more she realised that such outfits said a lot about her life romantic and otherwise.
Showcasing the singular voice that has made Leandra s blog a worldwide phenomenon, this book is a collection of awkwardly funny experiences, a sweet love story, and above all, a reminder to celebrate and embrace a world made for women, by women.
Praise for Man Repeller: Seeking Love. Finding Overalls.
