Tomboy Style: Beyond the Boundaries of Fashion

This book does a great job of carefully putting together all the mosaic tiles that form a picture of the quintessential tomboy. Whether that means clothes, a manual transmission, or just a defiant smile, the author goes far beyond fashion to define the term. It's a real piece of cultural reflection, disguised as a fun and evocative collection of photographs and musings. Superbly done!

Purchased this book for a friend and she loved it. Timeless photographs insure that this book will be admired for a long time.

I can't express enough how refreshing and original tomboy style is. Lizzie truly captivates a style which will become iconic. Her photos are fabulous and her text very enjoyable. Lizzie truly has created a cult following not only with her original style, blogs but for being the voice for so many women who have their tomboy elements! I highly recommend this book, especially for a gift.

Ths book is way over-priced for the limited and narrow contents. The subject nature is good but it was a lost opportunity as the tomboy style wasn't dealth with in any way but the shallow and superficial. I will probably throw this book in the bin as there is not enough content to keep any interest.

This book is really cool, the pictures are very inspiring and the quality is great. Plus the essays are very informative and well written, which just makes the whole experience even better. I really loved it!

I ordered this on the recommendation of one of my staff. The book is in exceptional condition. Now we are going to base one of our Boutique window displays on Tomboy Style!

Ok, so, for starters the book is an aesthetic masterpiece of incredibly cool tomboy style. I can't get enough of it. It's extremely well curated and written, no doubts about it. I loved that the intro and various written snippets in the book let me into the world of the author. And I felt like I had known her my entire life. It was one of those "ah ha" moments. "She really gets it." Growing up a total tomboy and still embracing my tomboy style has certainly been a big part of my life and self expression. It even impacts many of the choices I make. I also developed my feminine side along the way and I'm comfortable in my shoes. I think the author illustrates that, by showing how Tomboy Style isn't just a way of dressing but, rather, a certain, special spirit is what elevates this book from fashion to culture, in a much broader sense of the term. I frequent the author's blog, so I know about her close relationship to her father. As an only daughter I experienced the same kind of relationship. But what I found most interesting about this book and the blog, is that it brought me closer to my mother in new ways. I realized how, too, she had fabulous tomboy style, and she influenced me in ways that made me comfortable and confident. I gleaned from her style and then made it my own. That is what Tomboy Style is all about. It's nice to finally have it gorgeous book form, and to recognize how tomboy style has influenced culture in far more ways, shapes and forms than one might first realize. I know a lot of other women will feel the same sentiments and have that "ah ha" moment too when they read this book. Tomboy Style is out there, in various manifestations of reality and pages, and, in my opinion, there is nothing cooler.

This book is an absolute snooze. I returned my copy immediately. The predictable photos could easily be gleaned from the digital Vogue archives. For more fun and bang for your buck, I recommend The Lucky Guide to Mastering any Style which thoroughly covers ten truly individual styles. In my opinion, the gamine is the epitome of the original all american tomboy.
