I bought this book to see how it would compare with her first book. And also because I knew I was going to get some great stories in this book. It helped me learn more about Grace and how her own personal style came to be.
I thought it was really interesting for her to open up with something super personal from the get go. I had no idea Grace went through such a hard time growing up. Although I really admire YouTubers who are able to share their stories like that in order to help others. I also think it allows people to connect to YouTubers on a more personal level. Especially since some of them are not very open and personal online.
Aside from her personal introduction to the book the rest of it is a lot of light and fun. I enjoyed reading about Grace's take on style advice. She definitely took her advice to the next level in this book. Even creating some very interesting scenarios for her Miss Mess column. She even gives us a flowchart to help us decide if we should really buy an item of clothing. The book came with everything.

An entertaining read from one of my favorite youtubers.

3/5 stars

I don't know how to use my rating method for a non-fiction book 🙃 Super cute!! I prefer her first book but that just might be because I have been reading style guides since like fifth grade and need the lifestyle tips more than the style tips. Still love the pages her mom writes, those are the cutest. I also especially loved and related to the Ten Commandments of online shopping.

I attended Grace's book signing after being an adoring fan of hers for about a year, maybe two. The line was incredibly long, but my friend and I were entertained by watching Grace's face expressions while taking pictures with the fans before us. Grace managed to come up with a different, genuine compliment for every person coming up to her. Maybe it was your fashion sense, your brightly colored hair, or your phone case. But she was amazingly sweet and awesomely quirky, taking maybe seven selfies on your phone. Grace goes between being your quirky older sister and your fabulous queen of awkward. That's why I was beyond excited to get a copy of her book.

I didn't want anything less. The sweatpants diaries were definitely my favorite, and the introduction was very enlightening. Although I know her challenge is not something you can simply overcome, I noticed she didn't say much about the solution. I really hope she's okay now. I also loved all of the pictures in the book. Grace is so beautiful, and she only makes it more noticeable by the funny facial expressions she makes. Thank you for creating for us, Grace!

I have minimal interest in fashion, but this book is delightful! Grace is hilarious, and this book is sincere in its silliness.

I loved this book! To be perfectly honest I wasn't sure if I would because style guides aren't really my, well, style for various personal reasons, but then as its release date drew closer and I heard her talk more about it I realized it's Grace Helbig! I love her videos, I love her first book (Grace's Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-up), and I trust her... Why WOULDN'T I love this book! So I gave it a shot and I was not disappointed.

Grace & Style is all her own voice. It's unexpectedly personal, it's witty, and even laugh-out-loud funny. There is genuine advice sprinkled throughout, couched in Grace's signature cheesy and self-deprecating humor. This read is a refreshing break from everything that has become all too serious (especially all that surrounds fashion). The pages of Grace & Style are splashed with bright and cheerful colors and designs, and fun pictures of Grace Helbig herself adding to the book's positive vibes. I loved this book. I am so glad I put my time and trust into this woman. Grace Helbig is as endearing in print as she is in her videos. I would recommend both to anyone looking for light-hearted fun or an awkward older sister who gives questionable advice.

Now, without any spoilers, I would just like to say that The Sweatpants Diaries has got to be the greatest work of fiction I have ever read. Who knew I would become so engaged and invested in the story of a pair of sweatpants. But it had everything!, and I was hooked.

Grace and Style is a wonderful reminder not to take things too seriously. Not life, not ourselves, and certainly not fashion. Because it is all temporary.

"Bodies are beautiful and stupid. Surround yourself with souls that inspire you." - Grace & Style.

I preferred Grace's Guide. This one was a little too ridiculous for me.

I took a long time to read this one, I started somewhere in April and well it just lay there not being read. That probably already says a lot (though not really I leave lots of books laying around for like a year that I end up loving but let's not get into that.)

Look, to say it quick and easy, I only liked the introduction. Which was about the first 20 pages in the book and I didn't like the rest.

I was very annoyed with the sweatpants diaries, I just did not care, it was cringy and poorly written and to be fair, why was it even there?

Looking back at this I didn't know what I expected but it clearly wasn't this. The thing is I really like Grace's videos and was convinced she could translate it to a book, in my opinion, she can't, the wittiness I usually laugh about when watching her videos did not translate AT ALL in this book and it was just annoying, boring and a bit not good.

So to summarise, I love Grace, but her book writing not so much.

3.5

I didn't really enjoy the Sweatpants diaries and few other sections but I did enjoy reading Grace & Style. I also really like Grace Helbig and have been watching her videos for the past 5 years and I will eventually pick up her first book Grace's Guide.

I wish I liked this as much as the last book. But this book felt a lot more forced. At times, it seems Grace just walked around her house and saw random things and went "Welp, let's put that in my list of things not to wear!"
