In a society driven by celebutante news and myspace profiles, women of class, style and charm are hard to come by. The Audrey and Katharines of the world continue to lose their luster as thongs, rehab and outrageous behavior burn up the daily headlines. But, despite appearances, guys still want a girl they can take home to their mom, employers still like to see a tailored suit and peers still respect classy conduct. So is it possible to maintain old fashioned virtues in a modern world without looking like a starchy Amish grandma? Christy shows women how in this guide to glamorous style, professional success and true love...the classy way.

Full of fun assignments, notable names and real-life examples, Christy offers a new look at seemingly "old fashioned" advice. She covers diet, speech, work ethic, friends, relationships, manners, makeup, and fashionable yet modest clothing, showing modern ladies how they can be beautiful, intelligent and fun while retaining values and morals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handbook On How To Be Smart, Classy, and Fabulous While Being Yourself
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
This could be considered a book on successful dating. It could also be considered a handbook on a winning career. It's actually both and a lot more. The cosmetics section is excellent!

The author said, "I suspect you and I are a lot alike. I'm guessing that you, like myself, would like to leave behind something we can be proud of: a feminine legacy of hard work, self-respect, style, success, class, and grace--a fulfilled life that our mothers would be proud of and our own daughters wouldn't be ashamed of."

There are so many great ideas in this book that if you just picked up one or two, it would be well worth your time.

The author comes up with "a few (tried-and-tested!) classy, graceful, and stylish alternatives that will solidify your It Girl status yet leave you feeling regret-free the next day." Society has not valued class and good behavior for years, but the author tells us why classy and well-spoken ladies have not gone out of style where it counts. The 'desperate' look doesn't get the results most women want, and the author gives specific information for a classier approach to dating and work situations.

Topics covered include texting and social networking. There are great sections on style, fashion, and makeup, with specific brand names recommended. The final chapter is on eating without overdoing it. It includes some great-looking recipes.

So many things in this book were told to me by my mother! Great book. Useful info, no matter your age or economic level. I bought one book for me and one for each of my daughters. I'm a teacher. I'm going to keep my copy in my high school classroom in hopes that one of my young students will take an interest and want to read the book! It tells ladies how to be classy and proper without giving up fun! Great job, Mrs. Christy!

4.0 out of 5 stars I adore this book
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017

In reading through the comments on this book, I found it had a lot of negative reviews. Reviews that mostly came from women who were offended by this book. The book goes through many "old fashioned" tips, basically tips from an age where ladies acted like ladies.
I can see how many women could easily be offended by this book; if you look up to Paris Hilton or do any of the things mentioned in the book as not classy, I can see how you'd easily be offended. On the other hand, in today's world everyone gets offended over everything. Like it or not, not everyone can be pleased and you are judged based on everything you do. If you want to be perceived as classy, you have to look and act classy.
This book is opinion based, yes, I will say that. But, in all fairness, the book is giving tips and advice on how to be perceived as classy. If wearing tube tops and going clubbing is your thing and you think people see you as classy, this book will definitely offend you (unless of course you are wanting to change that, in which case this book will probably interest you.)
I loved this book, though there were some things I didn't agree with, I still highly recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Jordan Cristy Hates Woman
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
Don't judge this book by it's cover! I bought this book despite it's reviews because it looked like fun, great cover, and it's always interesting to read opinions about social customs. This book was nothing but seething hate for women and a backwards idea of how women are "supposed to" act. The author sounds more like a man straight out of the 1950s. She is constantly referring to free spirited women who don't live by the rules of others as "stupid girls" . It seems that she must have been very unpopular in middle and high school, did not like to do anything that most would consider fun and social and may have been a bit bullied, poor thing. I imagine her diary entry to read, "Dear Diary, Those girls are all so mean. Just because i hate going to parties and I can't really dance I am special aren't I? Well I get better grades than them and one day, one day I'm gonna grow up and I'm gonna show them, they'll see. I'm gonna write a book about how stupid they all are. They are gonna pay! The End"

I wonder if Jordan ever stopped to think that maybe women enjoy begin social and dancing on tables just because it's an expression of who they are, not because of men, but in spite of them. Instead of supporting her sisters, it seems all this author wants to do is tear them down. This is the real issue in today's society, women not supporting one another different as we all may be. Well here is my support for you Jordan. I think you need to go see someone about your anger issues from childhood instead of walking around with that big load of hatred, It must be a heavy burden.

3.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe we need this book...
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2011
Verified Purchase
So, perhaps I am a little too old for "needing" the tips provided in this book, and that's why I questioned many of the tips offered. I had heard about it... somewhere.. and thought that it might offer a new and interesting perspective on how women should live today. And, yes, there are some interesting tips. But I am still shocked that women don't know this or aren't taught some of these growing up. I found the book perfect for a younger audience (I am in my late 20's)- perhaps the college aged set would have been a better fit.
The writer is humorous and sometimes witty. Her style is approachable and simplistic.It is a quick and relatively easy read. It is relevant. This makes the book perfect for sitting on the beach/poolside/ plane reading while still maintaining a conversation with the ever important girl friend. She quotes heavily famous women, which is at times inspiring and others I question if the author herself had an opinion on the issue. Clearly she does but her frequent quoting resulted in her own loss of voice at times.
All in all, a fine book. Not the best thing I've read and it wasn't the worst.

2.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned common sense
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2011
Verified Purchase
I actually thought it was fairly obvious that this book wasn't about Audrey Hepburn, it is a guide to translating the elegance, manners and restraint she emitted into today's world. Unfortunately most of it is just common sense about not acting/dressing like a hooker or a chav, and is slightly impractical in today's world, but sound advice none the less. No pictures, which is a shame, but if you need to clean up your act this is a good place to start.

This was not at all what i was expecting.. the review below me says it all. I didn't even bother to read past the first chapter.
my advice: if you are over 13 years old and want an audrey hepburn book, don't buy this book.
