So I just started reading this book Classy by Derek Blasberg and I am completely in love. If you are a fashion major (like me) or are interested in throwing a spankin party or are just a girl in general, I totally recommend this book. It just has everything on how to pack for a long trip, how to identify fake Prada and Louis Vuitton bags, when to thank the host (straight away), how to set a formal dinner table, what to wear on a first date. . .I could go on and on. Everything you need to know is in this book. It's simply a instructional book on how to act like a lady and how to not act like a tramp. And Derek Blasberg is a genius. He has a witty humor that you wouldn't expect from a man writing a book on table manners and proper dress.
Everything in this books seems to be popping up in my life lately too. I just read about correct place settings and the next day, a girl in one of my classes gave a presentation on it. One girl asked when you are supposed to place the napkin on your lap (because she thought it was once the meal started ) and I whipped out my book and showed her otherwise (it's right as you sit down if you wanted to know).
Needless to say, I feel like I'm turning into an accomplished lady of modern-day times. Thanks Julie for the perfect birthday present.
