Book description
'You know the Fabulous Girl, don't you? She's Holly Golightly, the
girl you must have at your cocktail party. She's smart, fun,
sophisticated, and of course beautifully well-mannered. She's the
friend who always knows when you need a shoe-shopping expedition to
lift your spirits. She's the one who calls you after your disastrous
dinner party and insists that she had a marvellous time. She's the
girl you admire, the girl you want to be.'
The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum is an entertaining,
stylish and thoroughly modern guide to manners. It offers invaluable
advice on workplace etiquette and how to maintain the admiration and
respect of your colleagues, entertaining (including how to throw the
perfect dinner party and what to do if it all goes horribly wrong),
sex and romance (which we all know aren't necessarily the same thing),
dealing with one-night-stands, modern marriage and divorce, friendship
and fashion. Woven throughout this wealth of witty advice is the story
of the Fabulous Girl herself as she learns to glide gracefully through
her days.
The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum is as essential as a
little black dress - elegant, practical and something no woman of
today should be without!
