Practically Posh by Robin Moreno - A book for singles?

Practically Posh by Robin Moreno is almost like reading a magazine with lots of little articles about how to find less expensive solutions to the things you would like to fill your life with.

It deals with everything from smart shopping trips to the grocery store to how to find your own style. It also includes subjects as how to get a promotion, being a trendy hostess on a budget and meeting the parents for the first time. The chapters are all divided into small 1-3 pages subchapters, and Moreno shares personal stories and tips related to the different subchapters.

Practically Posh seems to be an attempt to find cost effective ways to keep up a trendy lifestyle, and it is mostly geared towards single women. I think the most appropriate readership would be college to recent college graduate females, while it might also appeal to single women paying high rents.

I enjoyed reading Practically Posh, and the book is an easy read with lots of wonderful photos. However, I did feel that the book was a bit superficial, in the fact that it did not really go in depth on any of the subjects. It was almost as if I had to rush through the process of being practically posh.

It is not a book for frugal moms, avid coupon clippers or penny pinchers, but I can definitely see how it would come in handy for women who are used to being, or wish to be, big spenders.

Some of the highlights of the book were:

Hangover Cures, Find Your Own style, Best Time to Shop and Powerclean Your Place.
