EtiquetteGrrlStyle.com is the brainchild of Honore McDonough Ervin, one half of the etiquette experts, The Etiquette Grrls. She is the co-author of Things You Need to Be Told: A Handbook for Polite Behavior in a Tacky, Rude World, and More Things You Need to Be Told: A Guide to Good Taste and Proper Comportment in a Tacky, Rude World, as well as one of the founders of the popular website, EtiquetteGrrls.com.
A Navy Junior, Honore was raised in Washington, D.C, London, and Massachusetts. After going off to boarding school at the all-girls Westover School in Connecticut (alma mater of the very chic Babe (Cushing) Paley), she transferred in order to be one of the pioneering first girls at Portsmouth Abbey School in Rhode Island. She then trotted off to explore the unknown territory of Pittsburgh, where she enrolled in Chatham College, the third-oldest women's college in the country. She double-majored in English and Art History, subjects she also studied during a Summer Term at Trinity College, Oxford University, England.
Before heading off to Graduate School at the University of Virginia, Honore worked in the publications Department of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art. Her advice has been featured in Real Simple, Allure, Reader’s Digest, Cosmopolitan, Ladies’ Home Journal, Australian Vogue, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Washington Post, the Houston Chronicle, the San Francisco Chronicle, and numerous other publications, as well as on many radio and television programs nation-wide. Honore resides in Massachusetts, although she can frequently be found in New York City, holding court at the Algonquin Hotel’s fabled Oak Room and Blue Bar à la Mrs. Parker, tossing back a few with her Dear Friends.
