You aren't considered a fashion icon unless you have your own clothing line, television show and book.

We can definitely put Victoria Beckham on the fashion icon list because she has all three.

I picked up Victoria's book That Extra Half an Inch about a month ago but finally had a chance to sit down and read it on my flight to the east coast over the holiday break. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the book but in the end I really enjoyed it.

What you can expect:

• How to shop for and wear everyday staples like jeans
• Learn how to dress for special occasions
  
• Where to buy stylish fashions on a superstar and regular person budget.
• And much, much more

The book was written in a very casual tone, you almost feel like Vicky B is your friend. It's a fun and easy book that you can read cover to cover or simply flip through for quick fashion advice. There are beautiful photographs, illustrations and even pages for notes.

All in all, That Extra Half Inch is a great buy for you or a fashionable friend.
