Description

F is for Fashion, Darling is a tongue-in-chic introduction to all things cute couture, an ode to the new parent looking to give their baby a strutting start on the important things in life.

This book will take you from A to Z through the most iconic words and phrases from the world of fashion. But the words and phrases spoken on catwalks and in boutiques have new meanings for new parents: Bold prints are made by grubby hands, Power dressing involves a mask and cape, and Luxury is being able to sleep through the night…

Babies and toddlers will love playing with this classic board book and exploring the bright, popping artworks that illustrate each letter of the alphabet in not-so-serious style. Grown-ups will be just as entertained by the knowing nods to the experience of being a new parent. F is for Fashion, Darling is perfect for anyone juggling the joy of parenthood with the responsibility of being a fashion icon.

This book is your chance to become the chicest parent at preschool. That’s fashion, darling.

A precious book for the tiny fashionista! The A-Z for every fashion lover, this is the perfect baby shower gift! I loved the fashion glossary. It was the perfect touch to the end!

The cutest! A perfect gift for the chicest new mums, this book is a non traditional approach to the “A is for.....” style and is very fun. The illustrations are simple but gorgeous. I will definitely be gifting this title in the future, I know some fashion forward mamas who will just love it

I adore this colorful alphabet book perfect for babies and parents alike! The illustrations are chic and cheeky, with a focus on fashion and double-meaning for new parents adapting to a new life. Why, there’s even a dictionary to explain fashion terms. In an Instagram world, that’s probably not needed but it sure is fun. 5 Snazzy Stars, Darling!

The minute I was accepted to preview this book, I downloaded and read it immediately. This will be the #1 book I send to all my friends with new babies, to their grandparents, and to the adults I know who love fashion as I do. A “stylish” way to learn the alphabet, with wonderful illustrations and a dictionary in the back to explain the terms used....although what fashionista wouldn’t?
Love, love, love it. Refreshingly delightful and original.

PS just preordered 2 copies for my grandchildren

This is such a cute ABC book using common fashion terms for common baby things.

Cute, bright pictures.

When I same common baby things, we have the word Quilted, which means, yeah, a quilt for babies, and in fashion means that it is multi-layered textiles sewn together to make a thicker padded material.

You don't need to know what the fashion term means, to enjoy the book, although you get more of the humor that way, such as the Distressed term used on a child crying, even though it means material that has been worked on to look as though it has been well-worn.

Thanks to Netgalley or making this book available for an honest review

If you have an adult in your life who is having a baby they would love this book. Children could read it, but the words and ideas in it are more adult. Would be a fun baby shower gift.

I love 'F is for fashion, darling'. It's such an innovative take on the common ABC book. It's entertaining for both kids and adults.

F is for Fashion, Darling is adorable. It's not really for the kids, it's definitely for the parents, but that's what you expect when you see the cover anyway.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC for an honest opinion.

This book would make a great model for older students creating their own picture books. They could research a field of study that they are passionate about, create a glossary specific to the industry, and share that knowledge through imagery. A welcome variation to the traditional alphabet book.

A fun ABC book for fashion forward parents! A unique entry in the normally monotonous category of ABC books for toddlers. This would be a great gift for parents to be!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This alphabet book is intended to be fun for a baby but even more so for baby's adult.  Babies will see some adorable illustrations and fashion ABCs while adults will enjoy the sense of humor that permeates this title.  For example, E is for evening wear shows a picture of a child's slippers.  New parents may well chuckle as they contemplate what evening wear might have once meant to them.   The book is full of this kind of amusement and should bemuse new parents..


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

O M G!!!

Hahahha!!!

Let me happy laugh for a second here!

I never thought an alphabetical picture book on fashion terms would ever happened!

But it's happening ☺️


No matter what people say I love this

This one is such a game changer!

Kudos to the team.

Love it!

I would introduce such fashion terms to my daughter.

No, it's not misleading to do so.

No, it's not materialistic to be fashionable.

No, it's not only adult thing.

Yes, it is essential.

Fashion is. And not ignorance is.

Yes, that makes sense.


Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this book!

F is for Fashion, Darling takes iconic words and phrases from the world of fashion and mixes them with tongue-in-cheek meanings for new parents - my daughter has recently turned 3 and so much of this book was relevant to me - e.g. Distressed is matched with a picture of a crying child for one and I thought that was about right! :)

The bright images and clear colours will attract little ones that are learning the alphabet whilst it gives mummies, daddies and grandparents the chance to reminisce on when they had nice things that weren't hidden away!

It is 5 stars from me for this one and it would be a fun baby shower or secret santa gift for new parents! What a fab idea for an ABC book!!

This book is adorable. The illustrations are humorous and brought a smile to my face. It is a book I will recommend as a shower gift for the mom with a sense of style and humor.

This is a charming little ABC’s book that is based on the fashion world! The illustrations are on point and very engaging for little readers and very funny for the adults sharing the experience with their mini designers-in-the-making. I loved the way each letter was described and the subtle colors used in the illustrations.
