Posh Fashion Tips

In what Victoria Beckham would undoubtedly consider "major," a style guide penned by her own hand is being published for American readers!

Publishing house HarperEntertainment has acquired Victoria's book, "THAT EXTRA HALF AN INCH: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between."

The book, titled as a tongue-in-cheek nod to Victoria's love of high heels, is described as a "perfect handbag-size style guide for women" -- a revealing and practical look at fashion, beauty and personal style.

"I've always been a girl's girl," Beckham said in a statement. "And I know from experience that making the very best of your self is something any woman can do. I was never the six-foot-tall pin-up…I've always been the girl-next-door who got lucky. I've come a long way in the last ten years, but this book isn't my attempt to tell you what or what not to do. It's just to share some of what I've learned."

Victoria rose to international fame as a member of UK pop group "The Spice Girls," in which she was appropriately nicknamed "Posh." The classy Victoria went on to marry soccer superstar David Beckham, but it's her cutting-edge style and entrepreneurial endeavors that have cemented her place as a fashion icon.

Victoria has been celebrated not only for her modeling career, but for her own fashion designs. Along with a collection for Rock and Republic, Victoria launched her own successful line of clothes and accessories called dVb Style, as well as her own fragrances. Just this year, Glamour magazine awarded her double honors as "Woman of the Year" and "Entrepreneur of the Year!"

Already a best-seller in the UK, "THAT EXTRA HALF AN INCH" will now bring its style hints to American readers, with Victoria's tips on everything from effective shopping, to finding the right accessories, to making the most of the clothes you already have.

The book will be available in stores later this year.
