Washington DC-area women are the first to hear about my book, The Denim Diet, in an article written by Carrie Smoot, titled, “Get That Mood Indigo” featured in Washington Woman magazine this month. I’ve had a few mentions on websites and blogs, but this is the first time (that I know of) that my book has been mentioned in actual print. She gave me two nicely written paragraphs as well as a couple of quotes…my book isn’t available until March, but it’s good to get the buzz going…Here is an excerpt from the article:
Denim is Kami Gray’s clothing staple. The Portland, OR, wardrobe stylist wears them for all occasions. She avoids the stonewashed, faded look and pairs designed with lots of rips and tears or ornate designs and sparkly embellishments. “Darker jeans are sleek and elegant when paired with a fitted blouse, a tailored blazer and a silk scarf. The individual pieces don’t need to be expensive to look sophisticated and pulled together. “I prefer a boot-cut style of jeans worn with boots or heels that are hemmed so that they almost touch the ground, creating a long and lean, flattering silhouette.”
Gray’s book, The Denim Diet: 16 Simple Habits to Get You into Your Dream Pair of Jeans (www.thedenimdiet.com), is in bookstores March 1, 2009, and is for preorder at Amazon.com. Gray’s advice on healthy eating, slimming down and exercising is practical, no-nonsense and simple. She says it’s worked for her for over 20 years. Gray says she doesn’t rely on the bathroom scale to let her know when to rein in her diet. Her jeans and the dreaded muffin top bear that news. Fashion and love of denim help maintain her motivation to remain at her ideal, healthy weight.
