Fab Read: The Diana Chronicles

I can't believe it's been almost ten years since Princess Diana was tragically killed - the time just flew by! The Diana Chronicles, $17, by former New Yorker and Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, follows the people's princess, all the way from Shy Di to Dynasty Di to Shunned Di.

While Diana was definitely much more than what she wore, fashion was a definitive part of her life. Who could forget that magical meringue wedding dress by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, her hand in popularizing big-shouldered skirt suits, or her appearance at Gianni Versace's funeral just months before her own?

Needless to say, Diana was an icon, whether it be fashion, humanitarian, or just as a woman to look up to, and this book pays quite the tribute.
