Book Description

September 1, 2007
A gorgeous, tongue-in-cheek guide to living a beautiful life.

City Girl shares her unique view of how the world should be, as it revolves around her, as she provides you, lucky reader, with pearls of wisdom about all the important things--from shopping and friends to cocktails and men. City Girl would love to meet you for lunch--as long as the café doesn't clash with her shoes.

Breeze through this quirky book and learn the proper etiquette for accepting comments on borrowed clothes, dumping a dumpy date, and making the most of a business meeting (Hint: make sure you're always sitting in the best light).

City Girl has style, class, and the incredible ability to look like a million bucks on a budget not quite that big. To be a city girl is to live a "oh, so fabulous" life full of strong martinis, strong men, and even stronger women. City Girl likes those martinis dry and her humor even dryer--and she'll take it the right way if you laugh your way through all her good advice--as long as you pay attention to it.

* Illustrated throughout with Knutson's original paintings.

* Great good fun paired with scintillating advice--the perfect gift for city girls on any occasion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift book with a super outlook, September 25, 2007
By 
This review is from: City Girl Philosophy: Everything You Need to Know to Live a Simply Stunning Life (Hardcover)
City Girl Philosophy is the perfect blend of practical and lighthearted advice. Ranging in topics from career, money and men, reading these pages brought a smile to my face. City Girl Philosophy can be defined as having great style, excellent friends and the perfect attitude. Her manners are impeccable: she knows the rules of borrowing clothes from friends, is mindful of how she treats others and is never rude. Not based on geography, you can be a City Girl as long as you have the right outlook on life.

Want to increase your City Girl quotient? Here are some guidelines:

* Debating what to wear? "The perfect size is the one you're wearing whenever you're happy, regardless of the number on the tag." (p.13)

* There are different ways to gauge job satisfaction. While money is always nice, find out what else motivates you.

* Trying to find a prince in a sea of frogs? "If you need a man, a jar lid must be stuck. If you want a man, he's very lucky. Remind him often." (p.67).

I think this is a perfect gift for someone who's just graduated college but I think this would also make a wonderful gift for your friends. Knutson has a great sense of humor. Her writing is upbeat and focuses on how fabulous you already are. She reminds us to enjoy life.

I also really enjoyed the artwork. The colors used for headers, borders and motifs match the accompanying artwork. Most of the figures have matching shoes, hats, and purses. They are also doing fun things: eating ice cream, meeting friends for an al fresco lunch, going on vacations, etc. The figures don't have faces so it's easy to imagine yourself in the pictures.

Knutson has also written and illustrated Shoe-ology. I really enjoyed City Girl Philosophy. and I'm going to read Shoe-ology next!

Armchair Interviews says: Read City Girl Philosophy and get in touch with your inner diva.
