I bought this book from Foyles in London. I remember the moment exactly. I am into Foyles, which for me pretty sums up my idea of Heaven on Earth, walking into the beauty section.
I spot the book from afar: the cover is pink, the spine is pink, a lovely pink, it draws me on like a magnet! It happens quickly. I grab the book -- it's about shopping -- I open it inside -- the illustrations are so pretty!
Strong Points: As an item, The Passionate Shopper is perfect: the best color (pink), satin paper, pretty outlay and design. As a book, it is also good. It has advice for shopping, beauty, style, luxury, all over the world shopping, Internet shopping.
Weak point(s): I am not sure whether the featured shops and goods are affordable to the average shopper. Also, any advice on the Internet may be slightly out of date by now.
Verdict: beautiful book, which will always remind me of a wonderful afternoon in a wonderful spot in London! You can buy and enjoy it bearing in mind the weak points above.
Have a happy Saturday afternoon, with beauty always with you!
