It's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon without "con." I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn't suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department-I barely even shop in department stores. Instead, this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only part of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including: -My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what's actually in my makeup bag -All about BLTs and BFFS . . . that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends -The bad-hair-day character wheel -The Ten Commandments of online shopping -A handy flowchart to help you decide "Should I actually buy this?" -Red-carpet ridiculousness -Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you -And MORE! I'm not stylish-I'm self-aware. I'm not polished-I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy-but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, "style" is just a simple way of saying "I showered." Grace Helbig is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grace's Guide and a comedian, actress, and television and YouTube personality. @gracehelbig

"You're so lame." Alexander comments as he walks into the kitchen. "Shut up, I don't care." I scoff as I continue to make myself a sandwich. "You know, maybe guys will notice you more once you stop wearing your father's clothes." He teases and at that moment, I turn around to face him and give him a fuming glare. "Leave me alone." I hiss through gritted teeth before storming out of the kitchen, leaving behind my sandwich. ✕❤︎✕❤︎✕❤︎ A 16 year old girl named Courtney is not your average teenager. She buys her clothes from the men's section and only has two friends. But not for long. Her mother gets proposed by a wealthy man and she is forced to live with the school's biggest player. Unfortunately for her, he doesn't know how to mind his own business...unless he's with a girl. 1 girl, 1 boy, 1 marriage, 1 confusing relationship. ✕❤︎✕❤︎✕❤︎ ©2015, Kim Herz

Fangirl (noun). A female, usually between the ages of 12 and 19, that is obsessed with a particular group, person, or fictional character, and in turn the actor who portrays said character... Being a fanfiction writer is no easy feat, not to mention said writer is one of the biggest Potterheads in Wisconsin. Or so Victoria Roberts likes to think. But words on a page and fanfictions aren't the experiences of a lifetime. Going through senior year as a shut in isn't an option for Tori anymore and when an incident at lunch happens and her paths cross with two of the most talked about boys in school, her world is turned upside down. Before long Tori starts making new friends, her life is open to new possibilities. Possibilities that had seemed non-existent before to a simple fangirl like herself. Soon beautiful things are no longer just words on a page and life is no longer just about breathing. It's about truly living. This is a tale of fanfiction, fangirling and first love. The life of a fangirl. *Inspired by Rainbow Rowell's "Fangirl"* Highest rankings in Teen Fic: - #200 (15/5/2016) - #216 (12/6/2016) - #420 (8/5/2016) - #612 (9/5/2016) - #704 (5/5/2016) - #853 (12/7/2015)
