A stylishly smart collection of practical advice for the busy modern woman
With information on entertaining, etiquette, housekeeping, basic home repair, decorating, sex, and beauty, this indispensable book has everything today's young woman should know-but may not! The Modern Girl's Guide to Life is a collection of all the helpful tips and secrets that get passed on from generation to generation, but many of us have somehow missed. It's full of practical, definitive advice on the basics -- the day-to-day necessities like finding a bra that fits, balancing a checkbook, making a decent cup of coffee, and hemming a pair of pants. Modern Girl guru Jane Buckingham includes loads of savvy counsel to help us feel more refined, in charge, and together as we navigate the rocky terrain that is twenty-first-century womanhood.

A Must for Any college girl
Starting out on my own was very hard but this book provided the key! This book should be read by any young woman getting out on her own! There are so many ideas in here as to how to clean, entertain, do laundry etc. Many of the ideas I wouldn't have thought of on my own. I plan on giving my little sister this book when she moves out on her own. It is a must read!

Amazing Guide to THIS Girl's Life
I have been a follower of Ms. Jane Buckingham for a good long while now. I am a fan of her show on the "Style" channel and think that she is a great voice for all young and "older" women who are still looking for the answers to life... LIKE which fork do you REALLY use for the fish course.
"The Modern Girl's Guide to Life" is a wonderful compilation of helpful facts, tips, and general know-how. I love the structure, tone, and all around helpful nature of this book. Not to mention the really great way that Ms. Buckingham has of making you feel like you aren't the only one in the world who doesn't really know the best way to ask for a raise - what to wear to the opera - or the basics of buying a home.
Ms. Buckingham says that you shouldn't be afraid to ask for what you want - and do something you love.... with that said, if you are looking for new people to work for your company Ms. Buckingham - give me call! :)
I love this book - and think that many of my girlfriends will be getting this one for the holidays!
Cheers!

who knew?
Who knew that all of the things my mother should have taught me could be found in one great book? This book has taken me from domestic and financial incompetence to confidence in everything from entertaining to better shopping to financial planning so tht I can hope to retire and pay for my kids' college. This book is a lifesaver and will continue to be useful to me (and my friends who I'm giving it to for Christmas) for a long long time.
