Haven't heard of Trinny and Susannah? No doubt millions of woman know about them because of their Oprah connection, but these two have been at it a while. Here are the covers of 3 of their 9 or so books:

Here is a snippet from their 'About Us' page on their website:
"Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine teamed up in 1994 to write Ready to Wear, a down-to-earth weekly style guide for The Daily Telegraph. Their phenomenally successful column ran for seven years.
In 2001 they joined the BBC to present What Not to Wear, a makeover programme that entered the national consciousness like no other. The show moved from BBC TWO to BBC ONE running for 5 series and was also broadcast around the world.
Their no-nonsense style books What Not to Wear, What You Wear Can Change Your Life, What Your Clothes Say About You and their latest, The Survival Guide have been number one bestsellers in Britain and the United States and have been translated throughout the world.
They currently pen a weekly column for The Sun, having previously contributed to The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph.
Susannah Constantine is married with three children. Trinny Woodall is married with a daughter and stepson. Both live in London. " (source:http://www.trinnyandsusannah.com/about)
So, why do we care? Well, it turns out they actually have some great ideas about fashion. Not for the Size 0 runway model bobblehead dolls. I mean real women. As they say, "Looking stylish is not about following fashion, losing weight, being rich or succumbing to the knife. It's about dressing to show off what you love and hiding what you loathe about your body".
So, go check them out. My favorite part of all are their Rules, where they have insight on everything from "No tits: Loads of clothes look better worn by flat chested women" to "How to wear Dark Blue: You don't have to wear Dark Blue as if it were a uniform"
Be prepared for a frank, but funny and uplifting experience. You'll be delighted to notice that most of the modeling on the site is done by none other than Trinny and Susannah themselves. Keep in mind, they are British and so you may need your American English to English English translator handy if you are from the States like us.
