Incredibly disappointing if you're a reader of the blog
I am a devoted/avid reader of Emily's "Cupcakes and Cashmere" blog...and was eagerly anticipating this book from the moment she announced it was in the works. Unfortunately, I found no original content in it that hadn't already been tackled in her blog. Her blog is clear/concise with the emphasis put on the beautiful pictures...so I was excited to hear that the book was "an extension of the blog, but with much more in-depth content". Unfortunately, the add'l info was pure fluff and not valuable in any way. No unusual tips/tricks/advice that hadn't been covered on her blog, or already mentioned on a majority of style/fashion/food blogs online. I felt really silly reading this book b/c it was so remedial. I did, however, page through the entire book to give it a fair shot. Before I reached the end, however, several pages started physically falling out of the book. Overall disappointment in the quality of the content and construction of the book.
