What if a beautiful vintage dress could take you back in time?

Louise Lambert has always dreamed of movie starlets and exquisite gowns and longs for the day when she can fill the closet of her normal suburban home with stylish treasures. But when she receives a mysterious invitation to a vintage fashion sale in the mail, her once painfully average life is magically transformed into a time-travel adventure.

Suddenly onboard a luxurious cruise ship a hundred years ago, Louise relishes the glamorous life of this opulent era and slips into a life of secrets, drama, and decadence. . . .

Dreamy and imaginative, The Time-Traveling Fashionista features thirty full-color fashion illustrations to show gorgeous dresses and styles throughout history.

I had just come off of reading quite a few dark books, and needed a bit of a break. This book, full of colorful pages, and gorgeous full page pictures of exquisite fashion, definately gave me the break that I needed!

The Time Traveling Fashionista is the story of 12 year old Louise Lambert, who has a love for vintage fashion. One day Louise recieves an exclusive invitation to shop at a new Vintage store, but it's invite only. Louise goes with the intentions of picking out a dress for a school dance, but gets more than she bargains for! Soon Louise is transported back to 1912 aboard the Titanic in the body of a glamorous hollywood starlet! Louise begins to panic when she realizes what her fate, as well as the entire ships, will be if she doesn't do something to stop the fateful sinking of the Titanic. Will anyone listen to her before it's too late? Can she transport back to 2011 before she goes down with the sinking ship?

The story fly's by quickly, and I read it in one sitting! I thought the story was really cute and loved the vintage glamour aspects as well as the time traveling which made this a unique read!

I adored the splashes of color throughout the book as well as the stunning full page color art of vintage glamour! I'm a fan of the roaring twenties, and anything vintage and thought this book was utterly adorable!

I'm very much looking forward to the second book in the series that will be coming out in April 2012!

If you like vintage fashion, anything Titanic or time travel related you will defanitely want to read this book! I know I'm glad I did! :)
