I've been thoroughly enjoying reading the new DVF autobiography "The Woman I Wanted to be." I will advise, however, that anyone looking for a light, fluffy fashion fairytale should probably not go for this one. DVF is characteristically confident and candid about her life-including and especially the unbeautiful parts.
The true fairytale in this book, is not acutally DVF's rise to fame in the fashion industry, nor her galmorous jet-setting exploits (although I was left with some serious wanderlust.) No the true happily ever after ending is the self-assured, if not unafraid at least totally open, woman that Diane became. The true prize is an insatiable gratitude for life and a knack for living it fully.
