Victoria Beckham Inks Deal With HarperCollins

Victoria Beckham has finalized a deal with HarperCollins to bring her U.K. bestselling style guide to U.S. readers.
Victoria, who signed a deal with HarperCollins this week to publish a Stateside style guide. That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between, has already hit bestseller status in the U.K., where it was published earlier this year, and is now primed to guide the grooming habits of American women as well.

"I've always been a girl's girl," the fashion icon said about the book's U.S. release. "And I know from experience that making the very best of yourself is something any woman can do. I was never the six-foot-tall pinup."

"I've always been the girl next door who got lucky. I've come a long way in the last 10 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." The guide will hit bookstores this November.
We will definitely be reading this one. We just hope they don't "Americanize" the book. We want to hear Victoria in her native language -- calling people "cows" and saying "it's major!." Or "MAY-Juh," as she says it. Oh, and did we mention we saw her reality show, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America and fell totally in love with her? She's not stuck up at all -- she's hilarious. She has a dry, British sense of humor and she is always poking fun at her image. She can now do no wrong in our eyes. None. We already give her book five stars and we haven't even read it yet, that's how much we adore her.

Ok, even for our beloved Posh -- we just can't do that. What if we completely disagree with her take on false eyelashes, for example? But we are favorably disposed to hear her thoughts on all things style-related. And you can see the special for free online here, in case you missed it.
