Great books never go out of style, and the New York Times recently re-recommended this classic bestseller, an illustrated gem, "Ilene Beckerman's heavy-hitting mini-memoir of a stylish life."

Beckerman's runaway bestseller -- adapted into an Off-Broadway hit by Nora and Delia Ephron -- articulates something all women know: that our memories are often tied to our favorite clothes. From her Brownie uniform to her Pucci knockoff to her black strapless Rita Hayworth-style dress from the Neiman Marcus outlet store, Beckerman tells us the story of her life.


"Illuminates the experience of an entire generation of women... This small gem of a book is worthy of a Tiffany box." -- The New York Times Book Review




"A memoir every reader will wish to copy in her own size." -- Glamour




"Ilene Beckerman's sleek little memoir... strikes a startling chord... Unsettling and oddly powerful." -- People




"Surprisingly poetic." -- Entertainment Weekly




"[A] poignant biography... This little book will charm anyone with an interest in style." -- USA Today
