Description
Betty Halbreich's life story is one of transformation and self-discovery. After a whirlwind marriage in 1950s New York, she found herself at a crossroads, struggling to cope with the end of her relationship.
It was during this difficult time that Betty received an unexpected lifeline: a job at Bergdorf Goodman, where she would go on to spend nearly forty years helping women find their personal style. With her innate sense of fashion and craftsmanship, she proved to be a perfect fit for the luxury store.
This memoir offers a unique insight into Betty's remarkable life, from her early days as a young woman in Chicago to her rise as one of New York's most trusted personal shoppers. With her sparkling wit and razor-sharp powers of observation, Betty shares her wisdom on style, beauty, and the importance of being true to oneself.
