A Guide to Elegance

31 August 2010 By Vera Ciria 2 In Books and Comics

Looking for a bit of fashion and style advice? Interested in knowing what made our grandmothers tick during the 50s and 60s? Love watching old films? This is the perfect slice of elegance, small in size and delivered between a pale pistachio dustcover. A Guide to Elegance by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux covers such important topics as accessories, age, dinners, husbands, matchmaking to even sex, and is an extremely entertaining read that is not only fashion-focused! Extremely cute, this is a kernel of wisdom even in the more outdated advice. This book has been very useful in my research studies and also very entertaining.
