Description

"Chic-tionary" is a satirical guide comprised of totally humorous, totally made-up words that take their inspiration from the collective genius of Gretchen Weiners ("fetch"), Tyra Banks ("smize"), Man Repeller ("arm party"), and the invisible army of fashion writers who regularly make up words ("coatigan, ""flatforms, ""jeggings") that are impossible to say with a straight face.
