Summary: Martha Stewart it's not, and that's why it's GREAT!
Comment: Here I was, under the impression that being chic, refinedly fun, and, well, swell could only be accomplished with an army of caterers and years of contrived practice. Cynthia and Ilene share their "swell" advice and anecdotes about everything from tipping to running in high heels to morning-after etiquette. It's sort of like reading a book written by that one friend (and we all have one) who seems to know just what to do and how to do it with style.
I definitely hope to see more from these gals!

Summary: Classic cool with a 90s twist
Comment: SWELL: A GIRL'S GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE is one of those attractive books you just have to pick up, which perfectly describes the life of a Swell girl. Rowley and Rosenzweig, divas of Swell, give inside tips enough to fill any girl's four-inch purse.
This book has a lot of common sense a la Vogue's Book of Ettiquette 1948, but dishes tips out like a hopped-up store-bought Sara Lee pound cake: recycled-but-transformed, a little irreverant, smart, and simply brilliant. Of course, any book designed to make you into that person you've always wanted to be is a more than ambitious. I personally feel like a failure whenever I crack the pages of a fashion mag and therefore avoid them at all costs. However, the redeeming mantra of SWELL is that a girl can be herself and still be fabulous.
I'd recommend this book for anyone who digs the glamour of classic movies, envies the life of the party, and is ready to buy into the belief that anyone can be Swell with just a little preparation and a lot of fun.

Summary: Bright and shiny with nothing inside
Comment: This book is poorly-written, poorly-organized, and full of advice we already know or that can be gleaned from other, more substantial sources. Another review suggested you read this in the bookstore and save your money for something more worthwhile. I think that's a great idea.
