If you are ready to go beyond and discover the "it girl's" secret than dive into Plum Sykes' "Bergdorf Blondes".
This book is amazingly funny. It has a catchy wit and fashionable secrets.
Once you start reading you discover that being an heiress isn't so easy. With on-call drivers, private jets, free designer clothes, and $450 highlights, it is hard to believe that life could be so demanding.
In a world where fashion rules and money buys your friends, simple concepts like friendship and faithfulness are constantly being redefined.
Our heroine, only identified as Moi, befriends the wealthiest Park Avenue Princess, Julie Bergdorf, at a young age.
Their arranged friendship was forged by their mothers, both concerned that their daughters lacked the proper best friend.
Moi was a "civilizing influence" to the American department store heiress. Together they formed an impeccable team, the polite British girl and the wealthy American "Department Store Princess".
As their friendship progressed they both settled in New York and that is where we begin our New York fairy tale.
How interesting can the life of two young, single, wealthy Park Avenue Princesses really be?
Moi and Julie Bergdorf, official best friends, find themselves on amazing trips to Paris, Private Fashion Shows, and Muffy's Prospective Husband aka "P.H." dinner.
When not on the social scene, Moi occupies herself with her sporadic magazine job and shopping adventures that often result in one pair of $326 Chloe jeans.
On the other hand, Julie lives for the social scene. She occupies herself with extravagant shopping sprees, lavish spa treatments, and her thirteen-day, $450 highlight treatment. Occasionally Julie goes to her therapist, better known as her dermatologist for an occasional Botox fix-me-up. When Moi sneaks Julie's P.H. from right under her nose and ends up engaged the book threatens to end but only Park Avenue Princesses know how to shake things up.
With romantic stories and off-the-wall encounters it's a constant ooh and ah. Once you start this book you will find yourself on a crazy roller coaster that includes panic attacks, attempted suicides, and one shocking arrest.
The lingo becomes easier to decipher; in this society "A.T.M" translates to boyfriend and "going to Brazil" is Moi's way to reference 'down there' action.
When you think that true love has found its match, send them to the Ritz for a weekend and watch it uncoil.
Not everything is what you imagine. Park Avenue Princesses are not ordinary girls, just the thought of buying a DVD player makes their nails ache.
Looking good is a must where everyday is the most important day. Every designer is not created equal and not all married men wear their rings.
In a world where Chanel sample sales are scouted out and planned according to their blueprints it is no surprise that your "P.H." can very well be your best friend who could have once been your ex-fiancés brother. Welcome to a world that is tres fabulous and Zoloft induced.
