How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World:
The Art of Living with Style, Class, and Grace
Book by Jordan Christy
 

This sassy guidebook is the ultimate road map on how to maintain classiness in an increasingly trashy, pop-culture obsessed world. How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World gives advice on everything from impressing cute boys to dealing with catty girls. Chapters like “Keep Your Chin Up and Your Skirt Down,” and “Less is More” supply tips on choosing your friends wisely and being your best self.
 
Classiness is lacking on many college campuses, but with this book that doesn’t have to be the case at Elon! “Being classy is an attitude and outlook on life,” author Jordan Christy writes. “The art of gracefulness is how we behave and act when no one is watching; being stylish is how we present ourselves to others. It might involve our clothes, but it’s not defined by designed labels.”
 
At Elon, it sometimes seems like women are judged based on the brand names they wear or the quality of the highlights in their hair. This book reiterates the importance of health self-image and confidence.  “You can live with style, class, and grace no matter who you are, who you know or what you do.”
 

I highly recommend this book. It’s a lighthearted, entertaining read chock full of useful information and inspirational quotes from the classiest of ladies. So Elon women, if you want to be a Hepburn and not Hilton, pick up this book and start living with style, class, and grace.
