I think I need this book, How to Be a Lady, by Candice Simpson-Giles. According to Bethany, over at Maryland Pink and Green, Brooks Brothers carries it. She posted about it this past week. Loved her favorite tips from the book:
~ A lady knows that false congeniality is as obvious as bad false eyelashes.
~ A lady does not give surprise birthday parties or baby or bridal showers unless she is certain the honoree likes to be surprised.
~ A lady should never ask someone if she looks fat in something.
~ When faced with life’s minor setbacks, a lady does not act like a victim.
~ A lady knows when it’s time to say good night.

Not sure if any of you watched the Tony Awards last night, but the hubs was sweet enough to record them for me, while I was out last night (W, E and I went with the hubs’ parents (the hubs didn’t come, he had a 24-hour stomach bug) to see a symphony in the park). And no, he didn’t watch the Tony Awards, he was busy watching the Mavs vs. Heat game. I watched the award show this afternoon while the girls napped, and loved it! How great was Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed in Business Without Trying? It seems as though Broadway has become the new thing for A-List celebrities…more like the Oscars, than the Tonys last night. And Neil Patrick Harris did an incredible job as host…maybe they can get him to replace Franco next year for the Oscars. Here’s hoping!

Don't forget that Brooks Brothers moved over to Phillips Place!
Girl for some reason, I can't find your blog design giveaway! Thanks for letting me know – as you can tell, I desperately need one! 😉
I always page through that book when I'm in the store!
I'm big on Emily Post, but this is a great handbook for some quick tips. I especially love the one about being a victim. We all know women like that. PS–so glad the pool is open!
Love the tips, especially the "knows when to say goodnight," truly an art!
Enjoy the splish-splashing!
Oh my goodness – it would help if I actually read your comment slowly instead of working and doing 1,000 things at the same time! 😉
I want that book too! And ahh, the pool–I was there all day today!
Love those tips!!! They are all so true. I might have to just pick that book up. I was at the pool all weekend and I am just loving it!!!
Those tips are fabulous! I especially love the false eyelash comparison! Too funny.
Love the tips!
I love books on manners and etiquette- I couldn't count how many times I've put a pack of chewing gum into my buggy, then back onto the shelf because I couldn't stop thinking about how un-ladylike it was, lol!
I love that book! I have yet to purchase it though. And I can't wait to spend all weekend at the pool. I'm a crackberry owner as well, however one of my good girl friends got me an awesome hot pink case from Kate Spade for my bday, so I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon 😉
I need to buy that book! I love the few you selected to share! Very appropriate!
Looks like a great book 🙂 I especially like the tip about ladies not asking if they look fat in something!
I definitely need to check out that book! I love the messages it sends!
Can't wait to get my hands on the book– and LOVED THE TONYS <3 NPH. Enjoy your time in the pool– can't wait til I can this weekend!
I believe Barnes and Noble has it too, the cover is a bit different but it is now on my reading list. Thanks! =]
