Everything's arranged alphabetically, from Accessories – which tackles why women spend way more on a handbag than they would on a dress – to Yoga, Detoxes and other euphemisms for exercise and diets. Fashion shows and their notoriously late start times are explained. Hair extensions are discussed. Fashionspeak is deciphered. Heels – thin vs. thick – are compared. Makeup is scrutinized. And Hadley even expounds on why she believes women purchase magazines. Like a cross between a big sister who's filling you in on the lingo and a fashion addict who's off on a rant, she dives right into the world of fashion and hits the highlights.

All in all, Girlawhirl found it a hysterical and insightful look at the love-hate relationship almost every woman has with fashion.
