Spotted: "You Know You Want It (Style-Inspiration-Confidence)," by Eric Daman (on shelves tomorrow), costume designer for "Gossip Girl." With whom? Well, there's a forward by Leighton Meester, aka queen bee Blair Waldorf from the hit CW series.

I'm a fan of "Gossip Girl," and I am equally a fan of its fashion. Its characters are style icons of the times; Daman drapes them in stunning frocks, bags, belts, ties and headbands -- some of which he has designed himself. Since I've sought out some of the clothes, there was little chance that I was not going to seek out his book.

Like his characters, the how-to guide to dressing to impress is lavish and pretty. Readers (well, more like viewers, since photos are the main focus here) are told about figure-flattering shapes, "exorcising" their closets, ways to care for heels and how to pick a -- gasp! -- business suit. He classifies dresses into office, weekend, date and black-tie wear. There is a tailor do-list. Need a guide to types of underwear? Yes, Daman's got that covered, too.
