TheNew York Timesbestselling author ofLessons from Madame Chicand
At Home withMadame Chicrevives the timeless quality of poise and
shows how to cultivate it as a daily practice and a life-long
endeavour. Just step out your door today and you will notice that
poise is a rarity in our wired, fast-paced, and unmannerly world.
As uncivil behaviours like flip-flops at Broadway shows and digital
oversharing proliferate, this timely book reminds us of the quiet
power of behaving with dignity, kindness, and grace. Jennifer
Scott's Parisian mentor, Madame Chic, embodied poise, and not just
with the good posture, stylish attire, and natural manners that
made her extraordinarily elegant. She also demonstrated steady
assuredness and graceful calm in everything she did-from
interacting with her family and receiving guests at home to
presenting herself in public. Jennifer L. Scott passes on the
lessons she learned as well as some of her own hard-won wisdom,
addressing topics such as proper attire at social events, good
grooming, communication skills, hospitality and being a good guest,
our interactions with neighbours and strangers, role models,
self-discipline, and self-image. This charmingly illustrated,
practical, and inspiring book, full of tips, lists, and ideas, is
certain to start a new conversation about the timeless art of
poise.
