Do you know how to store your knitwear? Write the perfect thank-you note? Choose the ideal flowers to mark an engagement? House Rules is the book to help you run your life in a practical, orderly and supremely stylish way. Informative and fun, this is a reference book for people who might not have anyone else to ask how to stop moths destroying precious cashmere sweaters, how to treat a calamitous stain quickly, or how to deal with a culinary disaster in the middle of a dinner party. It is also a glamorous guide to living, packed with insider tips from the professionals. Jo Malone and Kelly Hoppen give advice on interiors; Giorgio Armani and Theo Fennell share their entertaining secrets; while shoe tips come from designers such as Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo. An indispensable handbook, House Rules combines the practicality of a household manual with an acute element of style, and is an utterly chic addition to any homemaker's bookshelf.
