Classy is back—and how to be just that

In a world of Facebook pages, ultra mini skirts and everyone talking on IM instead of the phone, is it possible to maintain old-fashioned values without seeming like your friend’s grandma?

How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World by Jordan Christy tells you how to do just that. It’s got tons of great tips, like what clothes send what message, how to find the best makeup for you, how to get a friend, ways to get fired, hired and so much more!

Jordan Christy writes with a voice much like many of our own. The tips she gives aren’t impossible to do or unreasonable, they actually make sense and are things you would actually enjoy doing, like playing word games, window-shopping and seeing one-dollar movies. This book will make you want to jump up and change your old techie-modern self into a new, classy, old-fashioned one (which you have to admit is sooo much better).

I like how she puts things flat on the table. It’s simple, and will seriously give you a changed perspective on what you should be like—confident, loving and filled with good morals—not what you shouldn’t be like—envying a superstar, using drugs or drinking and acting like someone you’re not.

Filled with inspiring, funny and just plain awesome quotes, How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World is on shelves now.

Check it out and let us know what you think.
