Kimora Lee SimmonsFabulosity: What It Is & How to Get It

I confess that I simply purchased Fabulosity: What It Is and How To Get It by Kimora Lee Simmons after images and the title of the book flashed in my mind. I had previously thought of purchasing this book before and acted on an intuitive whim due to the fact that she parlays an image as an ambitious success. I admit that I do not know if she projects this regardless of what her publicists/public relations reps portray her as. However, she does generously share in the book what she did to achieve her dreams and admits that one of the members of her entourage does PR. However, I would think it is common knowledge that many rich and famous celebrities have publicists/public relations representatives working for them behind the scenes. The following is some of the fascinating information in this book:Work and Power Chapter (pages 59-77): She mentions some details of her own career trajectory and ways to go about creating your own opportunities (rather than waiting for someone to let you in through the front door, metaphorically speaking).Pages 131-145 (Image and Body): Information is written on ways to feel more powerful and fabulous while building up a persona on a budget plus other tidbits.Romance and Lifestyle (pages 193-225): The author mentions what she has seen among her female friends trying to have a happy love life. Details are also shared on what happened during the early stages of the relationship between her and Russell Simmons.Positivity and Sustainability (Pages 243-255): I really enjoy the fun tip she shares on expanding your world when traveling out of the neighborhood is still a dream (page 250). Of course, there is much more uplifting information in this book.

I am a twenty-seven year old aspiring entrepreneur. I read "self-help" and autobiographical books related to the subject for inspiration. I knew about Babyphat and Kimora Lee Simmons but never really considered myself a fan. I watched a few episodes of her reality show and became more interested in Kimora. Consequently, I researched her book. The reviews were on each end of the spectrum and not many readers were in between. It was love it or hate it. That intrigued me even more and I decided that I must read the book and draw my own conclusion. I went to Barnes and Noble and grabbed the paperback off the shelf, flipped to the introduction and read the first page. It told of a time, prior to her success in business, where she took out her checkbook, wrote herself a check for a million dollars and tucked it in a box with her most prized possessions. Her intro was about the fact that you have to dream big before anything grand can happen in your life. I was hooked. So hooked that I put the paperback back on the shelf and ordered a hardback copy from Amazon.com and I am so glad that I did. I was reminded of a lot of good principles to apply to business and life in general. I also developed a more accurate perception of Kimora and have come to respect her moreso as a business woman. Read as many reviews of this book as you choose but the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself is read the book...gather your own opinion.

I really enjoyed this book a great deal. She shared her thoughts on many things, her childhood, her career..... Directly up front and personal. But mostly she was intent on encouraging her readers, and those who buy her line of clothing to reach for the stars, no matter what type they are. She told the truth that you don't have to be in a glitzy place for your dreams and goals to come to fruition. She appreciates her life, and what she has accomplished. But her feet are firmly on the ground, because she would rather talk to you than to be so wrapped up in material things over humans. All it takes for all of us to do is believe in ourselves, no matter how hard that maybe. I digress. I especially love this book because I am building a small business and a lot of things she mentioned about the importance of marketing and image, is a big huge factor, even if you are not in the fashion business. Finally, she talks plain out and from the heart. And her heart is full of a humorous spirit, but also sensitivity and care are there in the fullest. Read what Kimora has to say, you may find something that really hits home!

Baby Phat founder, KLS President, former model and fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons gets real in this auto-fabulosity-biography, a page-turner penned in glitter.

In other words, ladies -never settle for less than the best...If you want to know how to manifest the energy, success and beauty of one of the world's most amazing women, Fabulosity is the book for you!

Received my book and I’m very happy. The back had a couple slight indented marks, but nothing to make me want to return it. Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase. Came quickly and I’m excited to read it. I was flipping through the pages and pleasantly surprised there was some full pages of photos to look at. 😎

キモラが好きなので購入しましたが、彼女の姿勢は伝わってくるけれど、写真などがぜんぜんなくてちょっとガッカリ。ということで、☆2つにしちゃいました。

I wasnt sure what to expect as not being American didnt know who this lady was! Its an inspiring book, telling the story of how Kimora Lee Simmons grew up in a small town in the US, no father, but a hard working mum. Talent spotted and worked her way up and became a huge star - BUT she does appear very grounded. Book gives life/financial/relationship advice. It is very American and larger than life but why not!
