The Essentials Of Fabulous

by Ellen Lubin-Sherman

The Essentials of Fabulous shows you how to set yourself apart in this "whatever" world by paying scrupulous attention to detail - showing you how passion, enthusiasm, attitude, superior manners, and a terrific style will catapult you confidently into looking and feeling fabulous. Whether you're an artist, a CEO, a boomer, a baker, a mom, an empty-nester or a diva new to your career, you can reinvent yourself simply by tending to detail. The warmth of your smile, the shine of your shoe, the way you put away your cell phone when dining with a friend, the thank-you note that you mail, rather than sending an e-mail.

You don't have to be connected to get to the top. All you have to do is master the details. This book will guide you step by step, as you begin to live life to its fullest potential and in great style.

[Yodassa Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable book with great tips to advance oneself in your own eyes, and then for others. Definitely useful for a college graduate, as these are great tips for entering into a new career and making new friends and acquaintances in a city.

Excelence, elegance, details, purpose, compromise, manners, style, fulfillment. Great book for being outstanding and unforgettable.

Even though I picked this book up on a whim, I really enjoyed it! I was expecting more of a fashion book -- something more like Amanda Brooks' I Love Your Style -- but instead Ellen Lubin-Sherman goes through eleven attributes of fabulous people. She defines fabulous the way I would define charisma, that unknowable thing that makes some people just shine. But Lubin-Sherman makes the unknowable attainable through practical tips, ways to improve, and even reading lists! Though some of it is a little redundant (e.g. the secret to almost everything seems to be confidence), I read through the whole thing in a day underlining little gems throughout. A great gift for friends who want an upbeat guide to self-improvement.

Whatever.

I’ve said it to my parents, I’ve said it to my friends, and I’ve said it to myself (both in response to someone’s ridiculousness and in dismissal of something that didn’t go as planned). But whatever doesn’t work here anymore...

Came across this book for its tips on modern email, phone, text, etc communication etiquette...some good tips on this but could have been captured in a succinct article instead of a book with all kinds of "be confident" themed filler...

What a fun, modern take on manners and etiquette. Highly recommended!
