The glamorous star of Bravo’s hit show The Real Housewives of New York City makes it easy to be elegant, with contemporary etiquette tips and a complete course in the art of sophisticated living.

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps knows firsthand that class is a state of mind, not a birthright. Raised in Connecticut—half French Canadian, half Native American—she worked as a nurse before she started modeling. On her first trip to Europe, she was awed by the lifestyle of the Italians and stayed, eventually becoming a television personality. At a dinner party in Gstaad, she began a fairytale romance with Alexandre Count de Lesseps, a French aristocrat of the Suez Canal dynasty, who made her a countess.

Through all of her experiences, she learned that class comes from within – and that elegance and taste can be acquired. Now she shares her savvy advice and her inspiring story in Class with the Countess, featuring:

*The Art of Being Yourself (In Any Situation): with tips for making a stellar first impression, exuding self-confidence, and dressing with style
*The Art of Making Other People Comfortable: covering dazzling opening lines, table manners, and how to entertain with ease and grace
*The Art of Seduction: brimming with ways to make yourself alluring to everyone you meet, including how to make a man feel good about himself
The twenty-first century’s answer to Emily Post, the Countess gives a new generation of women a lively and incomparable guide to modern social graces.
