Customer Reviews

super fun for savvy women

I loved the style and quickness of this guide for women to modern, urban life. It made me laugh out loud and also was very informative and useful. I bought it for several woman friends for both reasons: to laugh and to learn. I highly reccomend it as a gift to every woman you know!

Live-saving laughs!

This is mandatory reading. NO woman should EVER be allowed to enter into a relationship, take a new job, furnish her home, plan a party, shop for clothes, contemplate a vacation or raise children until she has this hilarious gem on hand. I just ordered a whole pile of them to give to ALL the women in my life -- especially my adult daughters while they're still young enough to avoid their mother's mistakes. I plan to give these books as stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, engagement and bridal shower gifts, and "just because" gifts to any woman with a good sense of humor and a great desire not to screw things up.

Essential Guide

Funny and frank. Frank and very funny. Males, Nails, and Sample Sales is an essential guide for the highway of life.

A Martyr to Us All!

I wonder if this book was written by Ms. Pierson because she had to learn the hard way, and didn't want us to. I envy the elegance, and aplomb with which she handles unpleasant situations. In reading this book, we can only hope to become the sophisticate that Ms. Pierson is! Her wonderful sense of humor keeps this book "real," and not prissy.

Fabulous!

This book is totally fabulous. It's smart and witty and stylish, and so funny it made me laugh out loud multiple times. It's as pretty and elegant as the Kate Spade books, but the advice is a hundred times more helpful and wise and realistic and classic. You can't go wrong with this book - Pierson has exquisite taste and a sense of humor to boot. I'm really glad I found this book.
