About Elaine Swann Enterprises

I am, at times, asked "Exactly what do you do"? by various individuals. Some see me sharing etiquette advice in my role as a social commentator on various news stations. Others have attended or heard about my workshops and speaking engagements. Others come in contact with me because of book and product sales. Well, we had an event for our business partners last Thursday and we showed this video to answer questions. Here it is for you. Enjoy!

Talking About 9/11

With 9/11 coming up there will be more conversations on the topic. Keep these tips in mind when talking on the subject.

Tip 1: We are remembering heroes and loved one's that perished. Honor their memory with peace and compassion towards others.

Tip 2: Be sensitive to those who want to talk about the tragedy. TALK is is part of our HEALING process.

Tip 3: If the talk turns to politics and blaming gently steer the conversation back to human lives and families.

Tip 4: If too much talk on the topic is an emotional overload, say so...POLITELY...and move on.

Pregnancy Etiquette

I thought it might be a good time to share some pregnancy etiquette tips with the announcement of Beyonce's pregnancy. Just a few things America's Mom's to Be may have to deal with as their belly's grow.

For the Mom's to Be

Tip 1: Tell loved one's before posting the news online.

Tip 2:Be mindful of how much information you share online-there are intimate details of pregnancy that you 400 Facebook friends do not really need to know.

Tip 3: Keep tabs on how much you talk about baby. Engage in other conversation as well.

For the loved one's

Tip 1: Let the Mom to Be share the good news, ask BEFORE you tell others.

Tip 2: Ask first, before touching her pregnant belly. Invasion of personal space is not usually appreciated.

Tip 3: Keep your horror stories to yourself. Expectant mothers are freaked out enough, they don't need any extra help.

Book Excerpts from Girls Have Style.. at School!


Chapter 4
Fashionista or Fashion Victim?

Now that we’ve addressed the first and most important layer of the New You, we’ll move on to the next: your wardrobe. And there’s a distinct difference when it comes to determining whether or not you’re a Fashionista or a Fashion Victim.

Being a Fashionista isn’t always about wearing the latest gear. You’ll find all different types of trends when it comes to fashion. Certain trends last for quite some time, while others may be considered in or out. And then there are those trends that are classic, meaning they never go out of style.

Sometimes, we see someone wearing a really cute outfit, and we decide we’d like to wear the same thing, too. But looking your best when it comes to clothes has so much more to do with your own personality than with what looks good on other people. This means you’re not going to be able to wear everything you see on television, in magazines or, for that matter, on other people.

People will notice you more if you’re wearing an outfit that complements your own personality. You want to avoid trying to mimic the hottest pop star or television starlet of the moment. Those ladies have wardrobe stylists who shop for them and put together really great ensembles for mega bucks.

Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t watch television or read magazines. Those are great tools to help you follow the forecast for fashion trends. I get ideas from them to develop many of my own looks. I just don’t want you be a carbon copy of every other girl’s look out there. Taking the latest fashion trend and enhancing the look with your own savvy flare will make you more of a trendsetter, or Fashionista, at school and everywhere you go.

I’m going to list some tips that will help you when it comes to building your wardrobe. This way, you’ll have some really basic guidelines to fashion that never goes out of style, no matter what the current trend is.
