 Robyn Moreno
Every woman has that enviable friend who seems to have it all together: great clothes, a flawless complexion, an awesome job, an effortless knack for decorating and entertaining, all while living in a stylish abode with the perfect bottle of bubbly always on hand. Moreno is definitely that girl, but don’t be jealous - in Practically Posh: The Smart Girls' Guide to a Glam Life, Moreno has outlined everything you need to know so you can be that girl too. And even better, she tells you how to do it without breaking the bank. "Practically Posh is your bible for living as a bon vivant on a budget," writes Moreno, a San Antonio native who is now a writer and editor at Woman's Day and a frequent guest on Today, the Early Show, and Good Day New York, among others. Beyond being just a fun guide chock-full of simple and effective tips, Practically Posh inspires readers to be comfortable in their own skin and have the confidence to pursue their dreams, whether it's starting their own business, traveling the world, or never giving in to a bad hair day again. "Being practically posh is much more than just about finding deals," Moreno writes. "It's about finding pleasure in your present life." Practically Posh provides plenty of resources for achieving smart glam girl status, such as the best Web sites for finding last-minute travel deals or places to get frugal fashion finds. The book also offers advice on when to save and when to splurge (nearly any brand of mascara will do but shell out for a lipstick you love), style secrets (two words: gaffer's tape), negotiating a pay raise (women who negotiate their salary earn at least $1 million more during their careers than those who don't), throwing an affordable fete (including easy recipes for meals that only look like you slaved all day), and going green to save green (make your own natural cleaning products).
