This is the girly girl's guide to practically everything from what kind of shoes and stockings you should wear for various occasions to learning to play poker. The writing style is witty and light with plenty of good laugh out loud moments but then some other parts you'll probably skip. Author Camilla Morton tries to cover every aspect of being a female (human?) in the modern world... sometimes to the book's detriment.

The Pros:
- The writing style is fun and light and there are plenty of good laugh out loud moments.
- Her beauty/fashion advice is great. I loved the line about wearing heels whenever possible - especially when times are harsh. The worse the times, the higher the heel! Pictures would have been even better.
- There are many interesting contributions throughout the book from style gurus including Tom Ford and Stella McCartney that were fun to read.


The Cons:
- She covers too much and skimps on the parts where she could elaborate. For example, the chapter on learning how to use the computer 99.9% of us don't need but it took up several pages. Also, how to load a dvd player, how to learn to drive and how to change a light bulb, and several other similar sections should have been avoided all together.

- Much of her advice would have gone great with pictures. She describes things that are hard to picture in the mind's eye, such as hairdos and dancing the tango, which you can't learn by simply reading the words.

- There are several chapters of mundane stuff that probably won't interest you, however it might be something you flip to at a later date.

Overall it was a fun read. I think if she would have made a shorter book sticking with only the very best advice and eliminating the stereotypical helpless female stuff, it would be even better.
