Literary Debutante Ball Fashion Advice: Etiquette Advice We Can All Actually Use
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.” – Audrey Hepburn.
