7 Books To Bring Ladylike Back

12 Jan 7 Books To Bring Ladylike Back

Call me old-fashioned but when it become so normal for ladies to have such potty mouths and let everything hang out alllll the time? Maybe it’s all the social media and reality TV but I feel like there is nothing that people keep to themselves anymore.

Now, I’m all for letting my hair down with my girls, but what happened to being a laayyy-deee? I realize that reality TV does not fare well for girls who won’t bring the drama so that’s not a fair representation but here are seven books currently on reading list to ensure I stay classy, San Diego (anyAnchorman fans?).

• Very Classy: Even More Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Ladyby Derek Blasberg
• How To Be A Hepburn In A Hilton World: The Art of Living with Style, Class and Grace by Jordan Christy
• 50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know: What To Do, When To Say, & How To Behave by Kay West, John Bridges, Bryan Curtis
• Vogue’s Book of Etiquette by Millicent Fenwick
• The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons form the World’s Most Elegant Woman by Karen Karbo
• Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th Edition (Emily Post’s Etiquette) by Peggy Post, Anna Post, Lizzie Post, Daniel Post Senning
• From Clueless to Class Act: Manners for the Modern Woman by Jodi R. R. Smith

Random fact about me: I took etiquette classes. My mother took them, and I will send my daughter (if I ever have one).

What say you? Are you bringing ladylike back? Or did it never leave? Or do you think I’m just being old fashioned? Have you read any of these books or recommend any I missed?
