- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have many good memories of watching "Full House" with my brother growing up. If you didn't know, the author of this book, Candace Cameron Bure, starred as DJ Tanner in "Full House." I was even more thrilled to find out Ms. Bure is a Christian and pretty outspoken about her faith. We need more of that, especially in Hollywood."Staying Stylish: Cultivating a Confident Look, Style and Attitude" by Candace Cameron Bure is a non-fiction book written as a type of manual. The main topics it covers are style/fashion, health and faith. The book itself is a beautiful hardback book with a ribbon bookmark to mark your place. I really love all of the pictures to illustrate the different things covered in the book.Ms. Bure writes in a down-to-earth manner. Her tips and tricks are very practical and ones a normal person can implement. I found myself recently consulting the book on the best way to wear a skirt. What I love most is that Ms. Bure doesn't just talk about beauty and style, but also how important it is to take care of oneself physically, mentally and spiritually. She talks about prayer, journaling and having a quiet time. Lastly, she stresses that you should be true to yourself!Content: This is a clean read. The only problem I can see one having is that people have different convictions on modesty and some Christians may not be comfortable with some of her outfits. Rating: I give this book 5 stars!Genre: Christian; Non-fictionI want to thank Candace Cameron Bure, Zondervan and Book Look Bloggers for the complimentary copy of this book for review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I express in this review are my own. This is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s CFR 16, Part 255.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Candace's book had some great tips on style. Not a lot was new to me, and even though Candace has great style, I did not get many tips that would be useful to me. I would have loved more references to her Christian lifestyle and fashion related to that.

DEDICATION
To my grandmothers—
Grandma Jeanne:
You gave me an old, long velvet patchwork skirt when I was seven years old that I wore for three days straight and didn’t want to take off. It was so ugly to everyone else, and yet I felt so cool and pretty in it. I think it was the very piece that started my love for style and fashion.
Grandma Helen:
All those years playing beauty parlor in your living room with your empty perfume bottles, soap tins, and brushes was my favorite time spent with you. It made me love being a girl.

Introduction
I have loved fashion ever since I was a kid. It has always been so much more than clothing to me. It was a little part of life’s big moments, like going back to school or finding the perfect outfit for an audition. It was a way to show my personality to the world. It was a way to feel beautiful and confident, to express myself, to stand apart from the crowd or to fit in seamlessly, to embrace every situation. In essence: it was an outward celebration of my inner self.
Even though my style has changed over the years, my belief that fashion is a way to express myself is one thing that has absolutely stayed the same. Clothes might just be what we wear, but personal style helps us show who we are.
FASHION HITS AND MISSES
My love of all things fashion began with colorful Converse sneakers and decorated denim. I loved to browse stores at the mall, searching for pieces that had a standout element to them, like ruffled bloomers I could pair with a pleated black-and-white checkered skirt or colorful argyle tights worn with a simple black shorts suit. One of my college-aged babysitters once taught me how to DIY my own pair of distressed jeans, cutting them in a particular way so they’d fray just right at every hole and using bleach and the water hose in my backyard to create an acid-washed rinse. After that, I added rhinestones by hand for an extra-special touch. I actually wore those jeans on an episode of Full House, as my real-life clothes often influenced what I wore on the show. I loved to be a part of the costume process, and it was fun to add custom touches to my wardrobe. It taught me how appealing individual style can be. Including that one special standout factor in every outfit is something I still try to do today.
images/himg-10-1.jpgI’ve always found joy in trying new styles, but there were years when finding the right clothes became a lot harder.
Now, that’s not to say that fashion has always come easily for me. I’ve always found joy in trying new styles, but there were years when finding the right clothes became a lot harder. My teenage years were especially difficult. I was growing up, my body was changing, and suddenly it wasn’t as easy to find things that fit me well. I started to notice that what looked good on other people didn’t always look good on me. Some clothes seemed to highlight my flaws more than my assets. Dresses that looked beautiful on the rack were unflattering once I put them on. Shirts didn’t hang right, and pants that fit my waist didn’t fit in the thighs. It was stressful and disheartening to try on beautiful pieces and everyday clothes that just did not work for my body type and me. I would flip through pages of couture fashion magazines and wonder, How am I supposed to afford this? How can I wear this in my everyday life? Why can’t I look like these models? I’ll never be as tall or thin as they are.
What I needed to cultivate wasn’t a closet full of high-end runway looks but a wardrobe that was as dynamic and versatile as my life.
FINDING INSPIRATION
As I grew up, I realized my line of thinking was all wrong. Not only were the expectations being set by society damaging, but the clothes themselves were unrealistic. Many of those haute couture items were never meant to be worn in real life, and they certainly weren’t representative of my actual life. I’m a laid-back California girl who spends most of my days working on set, going to meetings, hanging out at home with my husband and kids, or meeting friends for dinner. What I needed to cultivate wasn’t a closet full of high-end runway looks but a wardrobe that was as dynamic and versatile as my life. My style isn’t just about looking good or wearing designer brands; it’s about looking like myself. I decided to throw out those magazines and started to look for inspiration in the world around me.
Inspiration wasn’t hard to find.
