Book synopsis

Chic-tionary is a satirical guide comprised of totally humorous, totally made-up words that take their inspiration from the collective genius of Gretchen Weiners (fetch), Tyra Banks (smize), Man Repeller (arm party), and the invisible army of fashion writers who regularly make up words (coatigan, flatforms, jeggings) that are impossible to say with a straight face. Have you ever tried something on without bothering to hang it back up (fit it then quit it)? Or been saved by a Sephora when a last-minute invitation strikes and you're without makeup (serendipretty)? Are you tired of letting blondes think they have more fun (brunetiquette)? In addition to mastering such terminology, you'll also become an expert on the most common fashion and beauty afflictions of our time, including: * Zitzophrenia--psycho skin experiencing unpredictable stress breakouts * Blahnik Fatigue Syndrome--caused by standing in heels for too long * Dresspassing--when another woman invades your territory by showing up in the same dress as you. * Buy-Polar Disorder--the impulse to purchase things--glorious things!- -followed by an immediate desire to return them the next day Warning: Once you learn the divine secrets of the blah-blah sisterhood, you may never read another fashion magazine or blog the same way again!
