SASSY – The Go-for-It Girl’s Guide to Becoming Mistress of your Destiny | Book Review

Posted on by

SASSY -The Go-for-It Girl’s Guide to Becoming Mistress of Your Destiny has a good concept to it. It also has some great gems in it like, ‘The grass isn’t greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it’. I don’t really read self-help books so I can’t really compare this one to others. It is unashamedly girlie and also really easy to read. Although Lisa has come up with her own style of writing, I think it’s great, but people who are obsessed with grammar might not like it.

Lisa Clark has even interviewed go-getting, cool women like Sam Roddick and Immodesty Blaize. Lisa has come up with the concept of SASSY herself: SASSY stands for Spiritual, Authentic, Sensual, Sensational You.

Lisa says “It’s everything you need to be the mistress o’ your own destiny and start living your very own charmed life, right now!”

Lisa’s SASSY book covers all aspects of being a women and living in the world. If you are spiritual, into crafts, or needing a self-esteem boost then I reckon you will love this book.

For those who can’t wait to read the book, here’s some of Lisa’s quick-fix tips to getting SASSY…

· Don’t diss on fellow members o’ lady-kind.

· Take responsibility for your own happiness and joy quota.

· Be a tigress, seek pleasure.

· Embrace your contradictions, don’t apologise for them.

· Go where there are no paths and make your own killer-heeled shaped footprints!

SASSY – The Go-for-It Girl’s Guide to Becoming Mistress of your Destiny is available from September 2012 at £12.99. Pre-orders are available right now on Amazon at £8.99.

Daisy Darche provides professional women with stylish solutions for both work and play

As the mercury rises, social calendars fill and the urge to share fun times with friends and colleagues increases. With London 2012 Olympics fast approaching, this year will be no exception. The Daisy Darche summer collection includes stunning pieces that can transform a look from day-wear to evening- wear as quickly as an ice cold glass of wine can be ordered – making this British label the perfect summer pick!

The Daisy Darche line has been designed to suit all shapes and sizes but versatility is the true key to the collection. Many of the garments can be worn in more than one way; cleverly creating multiple looks from just one piece. Professional women can now go out, straight from work and feel fabulous.

Daisy Darche recommend the following pieces to take you from the boardroom to the bar:

Livia Dress, £555

When coupled with a sharp blazer, this maxi dress can be worn to the office with the knot at the front. In the evening it can be transformed by simply turning the dress around to reveal a sexy plunging V-neckline.

Gaudi Jacket, £495

A Daisy Darche favourite, this reversible jacket can be worn long or short. Start the day with the jacket long and flowing over a black shift dress but leave work with the short version and killer heels for summer evening fun.

Lola Dress, £495

Maxi dresses deserve a place in all summer wardrobes and this draped version is elegant enough for the office. Reverse the dress for an alternative neckline and to change the positioning of its subtle split.

Opera G Shawl, £185

During the day this shawl can be worn loosely over a suit. For a chic evening look just tie it in a knot and twist to the side.

Daisy Darche is available exclusively from Liberty of London, liberty.co.uk, selected independent boutiques worldwide and the label’s online store – daisydarche.com.
